From what he told me, it was either burying them for a bit, submerge them under water for a few seconds, making them fall in a hole and trap them for several minutes or any of those trapping games. She eventually released them. She never killed an animal, just trapped them for a bit. She didn't like being with the same captive for too long. She was between ages 8-11 years old.
Would that still be animal cruelty? Would you break up if you found that out? He's having a hard time with the out of boredom and control part.
