Council wants to serve up school pet

[Rose21]

That's just wrong!
Can't they find another Sheep to raffled off?
Poor Marcus, he must be sweating bullets knowing he may be lamb chops on someones plate.

They should have think about the kids before they decided to slater the sheep,because they are the ones who has a close bond with Marcus.

Poor soles they may be tramtize over this.

WTF, "But the school's council made up of 14 children aged seven to 11 ruled Marcus should be sent to the abattoir......" So the kids sentenced him to death and now the parents are complaining?

ECO the kids are seven and eleven, don't you think they may not have known the meaning?
I am not saying they are not smart enough ot know the meaning, but maybe at the time they wern't thinking straight. The 7-year-old kids may have been a bit confuse with the term "death" at the time. Oh well, I guess we should blame the kids for Marcus's ending

They might understand what it means. I grew up raising sheep and we knew all spring when we were playing with them that come winter we would eat them. I guess it would all depend on if the kids are city slickers or if they have any country in them.

Somehow I doubt the kids were told the animal was going to be killed - I am pretty sure that if they did they would not have voted to have it served up as a Sunday roast.

This Country is Politically Correct there is no way they would have had poor little Tarquin or Annabelle traumatised with that knowledge for fear of being dragged through the European Courts of Human Rights.

Most of these kids in London have no idea what most vegetables are called let alone where they come from (according to Jamie Oliver shown on TV).

I co-sign
....don't think for once those kids would agree to have macus killed.
Kid a senctive to such things
Tarquin, please don't name your future son that name

Jamie Oliver puzzles me when i watch him cooking who use milk to cook chicken?
