Superintendent Alvin Lievsay said a student's parent promised to bring in a raccoon for the exercise, but surprised teacher Jerick Hutchinson by bringing the animal in a live trap. Lievsay said Hutchinson, "who used to work in a slaughter house," took the animal outside to the back of his truck Friday and shot it with the nail gun. Lievsay said no students witnessed the raccoon's death.

"Get away from her, you BITCH!"

With an epic struggle between the two before finally, the raccoon is dumped out the airlock.... er... shot with the nailgun.

Instead, it's just another Arkansas, stupid, cruel redneck story.... dime a dozen. :(

Well Nyrisa, if it was in Arkansas it was probably "Home Ec."

You're being awfully hard on Hill Bill and Hillary!

On second thought, maybe not. They are a trashy pair.

Many animals can destroy crops… it is a common practice to examine stomach contents to see what they have been eating…Remember this is not NY city…but an agricultural area and important to them. The examining is not where a problem is…if at all…. but the way it was killed… Although I see no difference in a nail gun, hammer, poison or gas…dead is dead.
