As it turns out children don’t just have to watch out for other kids when it comes to bullying.  A group of students went on a canoe trip with their school in Manitoba while on this trip a parent chaperone tricked two students into eating Moose droppings. That’s right, a parent tricked students into eating Moose shit by telling them it was chocolate covered almonds. You did not read that wrong. One of the students even got it stuck in her braces ( I am sure school will be loads of fun for that young girl now).  According to CBC while it was a parent that tricked the students the principal of the school, a resource officer, and her son’s teacher all watched it happen.

If it’s not bad enough that we have children tormenting each other, we now have adults tormenting children, giving other children ammunition to make the lives of these young kids hell, oh and to top it off these adults are supposed to be part of the crowd teaching these children that bullying is wrong, and unacceptable? Are you kidding me?

Putting the bullying aspect aside to this disgusting prank, what about the clear health concerns? Some  risks in moose, to humans, include: parasites, worms, Hydatid Disease, Tape worms ,Leptospirosis, and Moose Measles. Not only will these children be known as the kids who ate moose crap to their peers, they could have some weird parasite for all they know.

The school staff involved were ordered to take anti-bullying training. Big whoop.  CBC reports that the parents have asked that the principle be transfer but that has not happened. Transferred? How about fired? I can’t think of another way to say this so I’ll just come out with it. WTF is wrong with these people?
