I believe these animal rights activists don't have a clue about the psychology of children. My children went to a farm and helped raise baby lambs for a week.
It was a night mare when they came back as they decided they never wanted to eat lamb again. It took years to get them to try it again and they really think about eating it first.
So the fact that these so called animal activists says the teaching this way is making the children see the pig as a lesser being than them is totally wrong in my view. It is in fact in my experience making them think the reverse to what they are stating.
I think people with such diverse views should not be allowed to try and influence in our children's education and all children should be taught these basic facts about survival and let them decide then if they want to eat meat or not.
I believe in animals being protected from cruelty but I think they have lost the plot in basic survival and being cruel represents. I think everyone has a right to choose if to eat meat or not, children should be left to know the facts and make that choice themselves.
I would love to see all schools take on this form of education. The children all need to know where meat comes from and the process to the table.
