A peckish South Korean teacher with a penchant for rodents gave his pupils a lesson they’ll never forget after eating the class hamster in front of them.
The reason? He wanted to teach the kids the value of life after they’d been caught teasing the poor critter. And no, we’re not quite sure of the logic behind that one either. “I couldn’t control the situation and couldn’t stand it,” said the 44-year-old teacher, known only as Yu.
“While watching the hamsters die from teasing, I thought I should teach the children it was wrong to make light of life.”
Yu was arrested by police for child abuse and has since left the boarding school in Jeongeup, North Jeolla Province, after a protest by other teachers. To make matters worse, it’s believed the hamster was previously owned by Richard Gere. You might want to use some mouthwash fella.
