Oink

A Suffolk primary school with 25 pupils has received 400 emails in protest against its scheme to rear three pigs. Peasenhall Primary School is teaching the "provenance of food" by having children look after the animals before they are sent for slaughter. A spokesperson for the school said some of the emails were "foul and abusive".

Protesters Colchester Animal Defenders said "slaughtering any animal for food" was "not necessary".

"They are desensitising the children and teaching them that pigs are lesser beings than us, and that is not right...that is how we feel as vegans."

Oh, I agree. Pigs are far superior to vegans: they're useful.
