Food for thought - let's take a reality check here!

Have your say!


Dear Editor,

Re:-Anger over Shepway primary school slaughtering sheep

Let’s just take a reality check here! You all sit there feeding chicken nuggets and standard shop bought meats for your kids to eat.

Virtually no-one stops to consider the way the meat got onto your plates.

How poorly treated the animals were never crosses your mind.

Then when you have an opportunity for your kids to learn and understand how a lamb can be looked after properly and well suddenly you all get sad over it.

So basically what you are saying is it's ok to eat meat no matter what kind of life it's had but you don't want to know about it - and when its an animal you know has been well looked after then you don't want to see it slaughtered.

Go vegetarian or be a hypercritic!

Next time your kid asks mummy what are chicken nuggets made from – tell them the truth.

Then ask them what would they rather eat a happy free range animal or bird that they’ve seen well looked after or some poor beast that’s been crammed into a small space all it’s life and machine slaughtered – if neither then help them become vegetarian.

The only thing I feel was wrong was that the school named the lamb and in farming you don’t do that! You name pets.

Well done to the school for finally getting parents to wake up and kids to understand the reality of modern living. My kids have known since they could talk exactly what meat is and I often ask them about stopping eating meat – neither have, but at least they understand!
