This is a link to a pretty interesting story. I don't want to start a huge vegetarian/omnivore debate, but it seems to me that making kids raise chickens and then making them kill them, even if they don't want to, is pretty disturbing. I've helped slaughter chickens, and I think we did it as humanely as possible, but I can't imagine making someone do it, esp a kid, if they didn't want to!
