I know all those things guys.
Who taught this to the kids years ago who work and live in farm country? They grew up with it and the life lessons came from the family. I don't disagree with the food chain.
I disagree that kids that little, many of which obviously were not farm kids were put in the position of voting on it and being helpless to stop something they did not understand. In a diverse group of little children it can be traumatic and apparently was not considered.
I don't believe it is the schools place as nowhere can I read that the school advised all the parents 6 months prior about what they were doing and who was voting and how it would end. I could be mistaken.
Everything I read does not involve the parents until the lamb was about to get the axe, or knife, or bolt or whatever.
My son was 10 when we were first hunting, 12 when he owned his first gun. But when he was 7 if the teacher took the class to the pound to watch the dogs being killed I would be P`&&id beyond belief.
The teacher could say its to teach the kids about the social issues with poor stray animals.
Not the schools job IMHO>
Then again I am commenting on something they did in England with kids not my own. If the schools there are allowed to do anything they want without the parents involvement that is their right. Its their school system.
I only posted my last post on this because it was mentioned that these kids voted on it, as if a tiny little kid can vote on something like that and fully understand it. Especially if he or she is in the minority, left helpless to stop it.
A pretty cruel lesson to be learned in school.
