It would be very interesting to know how the ballot papers were worded, if indeed there was an actual ballot, or was it just a show of hands?

You really are clutching at straws now. Since you lost the argument about the vote you now change to having a go at the children themselves, trying to make out they didnt understand what they voted for. Just for your information, I asked my neice (who is 10) if she understood exactly what the vote was about. Sadly for your argument, she did, as Im quite sure did the school council.
You also accuse the head of influencing them with no evidence at all, just more desperation on your part as you cant comprehend that these poor "little childen" might actually have known what they were voting for, and you dont like it.
As for the class Hamster, thats irrelevant, since such an animal is clearly a pet, a totally different situation - allthough according to you they would also have voted to slaughter that as well, since they clearly had no idea of what they were voting for
