Yes, they stood and watched yesterday while I killed Rupert the Rooster, then helped with the plucking and drawing.baldowrie wrote:I am sure Stonehead will tell you, but his children are used to animals being slaughtered for food. They have no concerns regarding this and are happy with the process
Their only disappointment was because Rupert was being sold to a friend of ours and not coming in for their dinner.
However, they're looking forward to tomorrow when Rupert's brother Rasputin gets the chop - because he's definitiely on our dinner menu.

The boys (and I) are rather more pragmatic than prevailing social mores!

Oh, remember to really read my sig!
