My uncle used to raise chickens, geese, turkeys, and pigs on the family smallholding when I was a kid. Other than the pigs I got to see the entire life-cycle of the animals from birth/hatching to slaughter. Plus I used to shoot and butcher wildfowl and rabbits for the pot....
It really does boggle the mind what a sheltered existence people live these day's, that the slaughter of a lamb has cost a head teacher his job....
People really do need to withdraw their heads from their rectums and return to reality.
