BLAIR, Wis. (WKBT) People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals is pressing the Blair-Taylor School District to initiate compassion lessons in reaction to felony charges against students for torturing an opossum to death.
TeachKind, PETA’s humane education division, announced it sent letters Tuesday afternoon to Blair-Taylor Superintendent Jeffrey Eide and the district’s guidance counselors urging an empathy curriculum.
PETA’s appeal is in connection with felony charges filed last month in Jackson County Circuit Court alleging that 18-year old Nicholas Kulig of Blair, who is not a Blair-Taylor student, and a 17-year-old from Hixton tortured the animal before killing it.
