Reply #23: nothing wrong with children seeing that [View All]

depending on the reaction of the adults around them they may come away with one of several points of view:

1) if the adults have an attitude similar to yours it may reinforce a revulsion for the action and thus "convert" them to that viewpoint.

2) another possibility might be to laugh and joke and engender a disrespect for the process and the place of humans in nature

3) (my preference) respectful learning of traditional skills, where some food comes from, a bit of ecology, and anatomy/biology.
