I'm a little torn. On the one hand I think it is important that children understand that their meat comes from thinking, breathing, feeling animals, not a plastic tub in Tesco.
On the other hand, this was a hand-reared animal and it just seems so horrible to cart the trusting little guy off to an abbatoir when his only experience of humans is friendly patting hands and food...
What do the HHO's, renowned for their sensible objectivity, make of this one?
