THERE has been a bit of a furore in recent days about a school that has been raising four pigs “to teach the children where their food comes from,” taking the decision to send them back to the farmer who supplied them so that they can be slaughtered.
But what has appeared to anger people and set the commentariat a-twittering is the fact that one of the parents, a vegan, opposed the killing of the pigs and tried his best to persuade the school to send the animals to a sanctuary.
Cue howls of moral superiority and vegans “getting on their high horses” or “trying to impose their beliefs on the rest of us.”
