UK school's real life lesson in meat production

From The Panel, 4:50 pm on 30 April 2019

A school in the UK is going to give kids a lesson in life. Farsley Farfield Primary in Leeds is planning to slaughter its pet pigs to demonstrate where meat comes from. The pigs are kept on the school's farm in West Yorkshire. The headteacher says his pupils will be 'more knowledgeable and sensitive to animal welfare' as a result of the plan. Part of the project is to discuss the need to reduce meat consumption.
