Florida Teacher Dismembers Bunnies in Class

Hillsborough County Animal Services (HCAS) has charged Plant City High School agricultural sciences teacher Jane Bender with two counts of cruelty to animals for admittedly dismembering several day-old rabbits with a shovel in front of her horrified high school students. The Veterinary Assisting Curriculum Framework for Bender's class, as stipulated by the state of Florida, mandates that the course provide a clear demonstration of basic first aid for companion animals and demonstrate the application of scientific and technological principles to the veterinary sciences and companion animal industry.

Please write a letter to the Florida Department of Education to revoke Bender's teaching credentials and to implement a statewide program of veterinary care for animals used in classrooms and on campuses in Florida. Let officials know that you don't want your tax money used to pay the salary of any teacher who condones and demonstrates violent behavior in the classroom.
