Undercover Investigation Reveals Kitten Deaths and Other Animal Suffering. Learn More.

Regardless of what you think about using animals for scientific animals for scientific research, this undercover PETA video shot at a University of Utah lab shows the kind of stuff Josef Mengele enjoyed. Chemicals and electrodes are injected into animals' heads, holes are drilled in their skulls, and sick ones are left to die.

Jessica Goode was shot in the chest after somehow being mistaken for a deer
Three students from Ferrum College in Virginia were in the woods collecting frogs for a biology class. The sheriff says they were standing on a road in an open field, unobstructed by trees or brush.

Unfortunately, 31-year-old Jason David Cloutier, The World's Dumbest Hunter, was pursuing deer nearby. How one mistakes three college students for deer is beyond imagination. But Cloutier proved capable. He opened fire with a high powered rifle, hitting 20-year-old Regis Boudinot in the arm and hand and before shooting 23-year-old Jessica Goode in the chest. She did not survive.

A third student with them apparently looked enough like a human to avoid being shot. Cloutier is charged with manslaughter, reckless handling of a firearm, trespassing, and being living proof that man evolved from ape.

Randolph-Forde.jpg
Georgia teacher Randolph Forde is accused of trying to pay another student to kill a boy
The beef reportedly began when substitute math teacher Randolph Forde pulled a 16-year-old boy out of his classroom one day to ask if he was gay. Why he needed that info is unknown, but Forde and the boy supposedly traded words about the question the next day.

The student reported both incidents with Forde, but nothing came of it. Forde, however, apparently still had a beef with the boy...

Heather Ellis claims officers told her to go back to the ghetto
It was nearly three years ago when school teacher Heather Ellis was shopping with her cousin at a Wal-Mart in Kennett, Missouri. They split into two checkout lines, but Heather noticed her cousin's line was moving faster, so she went to join her.

Ellis had violated the time-honored elementary school rule against budging. But instead of adults being adults, all hell broke loose. The only question is who's responsible...

Jose Montano is among those charged with kicking, robbing and gang raping the girl
Salvador Rodriguez was first arrested for the brutal gang rape outside a homecoming dance near San Francisco, but he was later released. As the 21-year-old tells it, he was the only one who tried to help the girl who was raped by as many as 10 people, while perhaps a dozen others jeered, took pictures, and cheered the boys on. 

Rodriguez says he was skateboarding at suburban Richmond High School when he saw a crowd gathering in a sparely lit area of the campus. He went over to see what was happening. That's when he saw the brutal attack. "They were kicking her in her head and they were beating her up, robbing her and ripping her clothes off; it's something you can't get out your mind," he told KGO-TV...

Andrea-L-Billingsley.jpg
Andrea Billingsley is charged with forcible sodomy for having sex with two 15-year-old students
For such an unpopulated state with a relatively low crime rate, Utah seems to have a disproportionate share of pedophile teachers. In today's installment of Weird Teacher Watch, we introduce you to Andrea L. Billingsley, an aide at West Jordan Middle School:

The 31-year-old Billingsley apparently wasn't hip to coital adventure with men her own age. So according to West Jordan police, she found her lovers at the middle school where she was employed. The problem, it seems, is that her two boyfriends were only 15, which is a crime in Utah unless you're a fundamentalist Mormon. (In that case, your pedophilia is a direct order from God, whose words have been divined by some guy with five teenage wives...)

Artist's rendering of the love triangle fight at Rex Hill Middle School in Georgia
At Rex Hill Middle School in Rex, Georgia, administrators apparently don't hire the school marm type. According to police, teacher Shaka Cobb, 32, was expecting a child sired by another teacher at the school. Yet another teacher, Ebony Smith, 25, was sweet on the same man.

So Smith decided to leave a lover letter on the male teacher's Facebook page. Cobb discovered it, and as you can imagine, all hell broke loose. She angrily responded on Facebook in return fire, then confronted Smith in the 8th grade hallway at school.

According to witnesses -- read: their students -- the two broke out in a furious fight, featuring punches, a plentiful batch of profanity and threats. The battle was so out of control that police were called to subdue this cat fight royale...
