In the UK, animal rights activists and vegans filed a petition demanding a halt to slaughter pigs at a Yorkshire school, which is part of a lesson on meat production and food origin.

The Farsley Farfield School Farm, as part of the schoolchildren’s food chain education, grows vegetables, and also grows English-born Gloucester Old Spot chickens and pigs as part of the food chain schoolchildren training.

On the school’s website, it is reported that, thanks to the pigs, children learn more about the food and animal welfare problems, while English-born pigs Gloucester Old Spot were previously kept in gardens and, according to folklore, black spots on their bodies are bruises from apples falling on animals. Pigs of this breed are ideal for a school farm. ”

However, 6 months ago, a veteran Ix Willow launched a petition calling for the school to stop raising pigs, as keeping animals for slaughter “injures” the children. The petition has already collected 2800 signatures in six months.

School principal Peter Harris said he wants students to become “more knowledgeable and sensitive to animal welfare” by raising pigs on a school farm.

Comments posted on the school’s website show that most people support pigs.
