An Idaho high school teacher under fire for killing and skinning a rabbit in front of his students to demonstrate how animals are processed for food has apologized to children disturbed by the incident, a school official said on Friday.
I think everyone would agree it's a good thing this teacher decided to use a rabbit for their demonstration and not some other livestock, say a 1,500 lb steer........
Outdoor education classes cover things like this. It's a part of everyday life in the north and in rural communities. Gutting fish, field dressing game, trapping.... these are all normal parts of life, and indispensable skills here. We dissected fetal pigs in Grade 11 Biology.
And it's something that urban kids should especially be taught so they don't think meat just grows on styrofoam plates wrapped in plastic. Christ, one over senthitive girl complains and right away it's apology time and maybe penalties for the teacher who was asked to do this. Suck it up buttercup should be the school's response here. Guess they're going to have trigger warnings in highschool now.
I guess they could have warned students beforehand, let the easily disturbed kids go and pull weeds around the school or something to learn about killing plants.
