A teacher decided to give his pupils an extracirrcular lesson recently, by allegedly eating a live hamster in front of them. Police are investigating the teacher, identified only as Yu, who reportedly gave the little rodent his grisly end to show the pupils in his South Korean classroom ‘how dear life is’. The class he was teaching at a boarding school in Jeongeup, North Jeolla Province were reportedly teasing hamsters, causing him to take the drastic (and, let’s be honest, over the top) method of teaching them a lesson.
Yu is also accused of using abusive language in front of the seven children who claim to have witnessed the gruesome act. He has since left the school following complaints from several parents and other members of staff. Some parents have filed a complaint with the police, claiming that Yu’s actions were a form of child abuse.
He has since apologised for the incident. Yu told Yonhap News Agency: ‘I couldn’t control the situation and couldn’t stand it. ‘While watching the hamsters die from teasing, I thought I should teach the children it was wrong to make light of life.’
