A girl wanted to keep the goat she raised for a county fair. They killed it
I feel for this little girl - for losing her friend.<p>I think if more parents would explain to kids where meat comes from most would react like Indie-Rose - another little kid[0] - who said:<p>&quot;I don&#x27;t want to chop up animal people&quot;<p>And there are so many more kids realizing on their own what they are eating. They don&#x27;t want to eat Peppa the pig &amp; friends and yet we (mostly) force them to eat them.<p>And there are so many more examples of these kids. They seem to instinctively understand what Einstein talked about in the last century [1] [2].<p>What do you think would happen if we show little kids the reality of slaughterhouses - they&#x27;d be traumatized for life and yet we feed them the products of those brutal and inhumane places.<p>One day we might end this barbarism - maybe a few more hundred years - as depicted in this optimistic future [3]<p>EDIT: Would be good to hear why you down vote this comment.<p>---<p>[0] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.dailymail.co.uk&#x2F;femail&#x2F;article-3151959&#x2F;Tearful-five-year-old-girl-s-vegetarian-mother-s-partner-insists-taste-good.html" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.dailymail.co.uk&#x2F;femail&#x2F;article-3151959&#x2F;Tearful-f...</a><p>[1] &quot;Our task must be to free ourselves by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature and its beauty.&quot;<p>[2] &quot;Nothing will benefit human health and increase the chances for survival of life on Earth as much as the evolution to a vegetarian diet.&quot;<p>[3] The Dietary Requirements of a Star Fleet Officer - <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=sS7NRtEJBcA" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=sS7NRtEJBcA</a>
