Scotty1980 Posted February 2, 2018 Report Share Posted February 2, 2018 (edited) Not sure if you have seen this, but for those who missed it. A school that had bought some pigs to rear, slaughter, eat and sell has been pressured into giving the animals to an animal sanctuary as one of the vegan parents didn’t like what the school was doing! The Vegan parent got 20,000 signatures in 24 hours and handed it to the school. I realy feel that the school should have stud its ground rather than bending over and taking it! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t4p8gDGl3Dg&t=160s Edited February 2, 2018 by Scotty1980 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShootingEgg Posted February 2, 2018 Report Share Posted February 2, 2018 Although not an ideal story, im not surprised. Also fair play getting 20,000 signatures in sich a short amount of time, juat shows how strong their corner is. We as a shooting group would struggle to do that I think..

Brad93 Posted February 2, 2018 Report Share Posted February 2, 2018 Someone posted this the other day. Apparently the pigs haven't been removed, parents and teachers showed overwhelming support for the project. 20,000 random signatures online, how many of them signatures actually have children at the school? Not their bloody business in my opinion!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panoma1 Posted February 2, 2018 Report Share Posted February 2, 2018 The vegans didn't win the 20,000 rent a mob sheep that backed the spiteful loonies gave them the victory! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deker Posted February 2, 2018 Report Share Posted February 2, 2018 it would be interesting to see if genuine accounts were used or a number of 'bots' as that's a lot of people in a short time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not when you consider the group they are talking to, being vegan is the new "cool" thing and has a strong following from the younger generation on social media. This would have spread like wildfire between them all. As the joke goes how do you know someone is a Vegan.....they cant go 2 effin minutes without telling you.

norfolk dumpling Posted February 2, 2018 Report Share Posted February 2, 2018 Vegans are trolling dairy farmers in Suffolk. My son has cancer and a raw milk (high in Vit D) supplier we use has lost accreditation due to lies spread on Facebook. We, and others who use farm shop, have increased support so could be counterproductive but who knows what these loonies will do next. Jeremy Vine doing a show on rat/mice problems today which was major cringeworthy "....do you catch and take rats to another county?" OMG!

islandgun Posted February 2, 2018 Report Share Posted February 2, 2018 As much as I applaud the school for there attempt to show the pupils that meat doesn't just arrive in a packet, I wonder how many of the pupils would be glad to see pinky or perky being carted off to slaughter !

loriusgarrulus Posted February 2, 2018 Report Share Posted February 2, 2018 We had a farm unit at our Comprehensive school. We had Helga and Hilda the pigs. They regularly produced litters which the local butcher bought when ready. Some of the meat came back to be used in the cookery classes. We got talks on butchery and piglet teeth clipping demonstrations and all aspects of farming small scale. We also had a jersey milk cow, aberdeen angus calves to rear on for meat and chickens for eggs. Nobody in that school were ignorant of where their food came from.

loriusgarrulus Posted February 2, 2018 Report Share Posted February 2, 2018 Just checked the school website. Its an academy now, but still has the farm unit. It was 1973 when I left. It opened in 1964. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newbie to this Posted February 2, 2018 Report Share Posted February 2, 2018 Something needs to be done about these criminals, the media stop labelling them activists would be a start. No one should have to face death threats for doing their job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cosd Posted February 2, 2018 Report Share Posted February 2, 2018 I’m not sure I agree with the school and the project itself. The idea of animals being slaughtered is hard enough for adults (non vegan) to comprehend let alone a load of school kids! I think the project could have resulted in turning kids off meat more than educating them about where meat comes from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know plenty that are fascinated in watching deer and pheasants being processed and treat it as a biology lesson! My 3 year old girl is perfectly happy with dead things, and has an understanding of life and death that I bet few her age would. Although she did ban us from shooting "her" partridges on keepers day!

Winston72 Posted February 2, 2018 Report Share Posted February 2, 2018 I have no problem with vegans, everyone has a right to there own beliefs, but regardless of the cause this is a terror campaign and surely an incitement to hatred based on someone else's beliefs , if it was based on skin colour or religion arrests would have been made by now.

I was on a anti terrorism course at work on Monday, they ran through most of the terrorist groups ,and a couple of the animal rights groups are terrorists , membership is illegal, and passing on their information can land members a stretch in prison.
