12The animal was the ultimate loser

Crosland is still teaching in the school which has received violent threats online. Hence the security at the school which is in support of Crosland. But while the school was safe, the poor turtle came to the intention of the agricultural department of Idaho who promptly sent officers to confiscate the animal where the snapping turtle was euthanized.
