Also,
The elephant in the room that we routinely slaughter animals for food is a very good point. No-one gets bent out of shape that poor old flossie had to be sliced and diced in order for us to have our lamb tikka, so why the double standards?
As previously discussed I’m not sure as I’m wholly comfortable with the idea of making it a public spectacle, that seems in bad taste to me; but on the flipside, if it makes people think about where their food comes from then (as a smug veggie) that’s perhaps not entirely a bad thing. Poor kids, traumatised by seeing an animal be slaughtered, better take them to McDonald’s to cheer them up.
