An absolute disgrace,Marcus should be saved.The headteacher should be sacked and should consider if she is really suited to the care of children.

I couldn't agree more with P Evans Marcus was not a farm animal roaming in fields, he was a pet kept in a pen. The head teacher and her representatives, including children who wanted him slaughtered should have watched the sordid process,perhaps only then they would have a conscience.Out of a school of 250 , 14 representatives seems low, were they carefully chosen?

I hope the head loses her job over this and they are never allowed to keep animals again. She is certainly not suited to influence children only thugs.

My daughter Jo was the mum who blew the whistle on this despicable act..... my granddaughter Megan is distraught.... and they are both being ostracised for caring... what a disgrace !!!!!!

Well done to Jo for blowing the whistle on this.

Children have a natural compassion which is knocked out of them by these events.

The school should not be allowed to do this with pigs now. The children can now learn how and why people feel compassion and kindness for animals. They can learn about meat production in many other ways. I am sure they were unaware of the process of the slaughterhouse and think of it like Shaun the Sheep in Wallace & Grommit.

I would support any action taken in protest against the head teacher. I hope Paul O'Grady will lend his support to stop this happening with piglets.

I disagree because my younger siblings go to Lydd school and have been told "the sheep will be cut in half and and they will eat it. "This is WRONG because they should have to be told this at such a young age.

Why should they keep it as a pet and then have it slaughtered... this is what I am wondering !
