Zero Tolerance in Irani School

Principal Ignites Hamster On Playground
An Iranian school principal has been fired for killing a hamster in front of her students. The small rodent had been brought to the school by a teacher as a prize for a student. However, when the principal found it, she went berserk and burned it alive on the playground and in front of students, in some manner of bizarre spectacle whose purpose is not clear. What Iran lacks in human rights, it seems to make up for in animal rights. The Iranian Animal Protection Society complained to the Education Ministry and requested that in addition to her dismissal, state teachers be required to undergo psychological testing in the future.
