I always think people get to involved in this thing about what is right and wrong with raising an animal, and then sending it for slaughter.

Everyone including small children should know what happens to animals, they are bred to join the food chain, and it should be left up to them how they feel about it, parents have a duty to teach there children about this, and if it comes to it, schools should teach them what happens, when l was a kid, l would be taken to a farm and shown what was happening, ok we didn't see them being slaughted, but l would have like to see it happen, but l find it bad when a teacher has to leave becuase of it.

I watched a programme a couple of months ago, involving three different animals, and the only thing that made me feel sick was a chicken, and how they killed it,. The rest was fine, it is very interesting to see, but l would be able to slaughter anything - it would be the smell, that would put me off.
