Childrens' education is lacking if they are not shown the truth

"I think schools should seriously question exposing children to animal abuse. I think what it's really teaching is it's okay to ruin an animals life for human curiosity."

John Youngman, Winnipeg Humane Society

Mr. Youngman is wrong! Children who are old enough should be exposed to the cruelty inflicted upon animals more than they already are. Children should be taken to abattoirs and see the initial stages of how meat arrives on their dinner tables. They should be taken to chicken farms to see what is done to chickens in order that they produce enough eggs and meat so that little Johnny and Joanie can get the protein that they so vitally need. They should be taken on wilderness excursions along traplines to watch fur-bearers struggle in leg hold traps.

Let them also tour backyards in East Vancouver (among all other municiplities in any given area of Canada) to watch dogs languish away chained in backyards or imprisoned in garages. And, of course, there's always the Vancouver Aquarium and other circuses to watch animals entertain and delight audiences with their amazing anthropomorphic shenanigins.

I will never forget being in a car with two little boys who, the night before had lamb chops for supper, when their mother pointed out some lambs in a field close to Vancouver. "Is that what we ate for supper last night", one of the little ones asked? Mother gave an affirmative response. The "little one" is now seventeen and hasn't eaten meat since.

We are not making this up - gaping holes in cows made by researchers... on display!
Do they call this display a holasium? *NM*
My mother has an ostomy
In either case, study morally wrong
The only thing "unique" is putting the hapless animals on display for the glorification of the "ruminant researcher"
