Okay, they showed these buns in a cage, with water, etc. They commented on how 'well behaved' they were. That, to me, indicates these were well raised, well taken care of, not terrified at all. Time to slaughter comes and they pick them up, as the buns are used to, and give them a bonk. They're out, deed is done, no pain. Only thing I've ever cleaned was a fish, haven't needed to clean a bird or mammal, and I think bunnies are cute and all... but even this prissy city girl doesn't see anything wrong with this.
How is that cruel?
Now, that they been kept in a pen that was 6"x6" their whole life, poked and prodded, beaten, starved... THEN I'd agree... but these were well cared for livestock that was put to the use they were raised for.
You may not want to eat a bun yourself, clearly don't even like to think of where your food is coming from or you'd realize that YOUR food has it a LOT worse than these buns. You want to start something why don't you start it with Your Own Food Source... then once you've got THAT square you can try pointing fingers at others. Freaking hypocrites.
And to think that it was a church member that brought all this bruhaha down on her own church. Seems to me like this is a common thing. Didn't notice them say anything like "Our FIRST annual..." or anything. This is status quo for a bunch of guys going out into the woods. Rather than bringing guns/traps and killing their food that way they do the BYOB (bad pun) thing... they don't take anything from the forest, they don't leave a mess... good campers. And if these campouts have been going on for years as I suspect then why hasn't anyone been concerned before? Perhaps because these children's mothers don't think there's anything wrong with their sons knowing where their food comes from, how to prepare it, etc. Personally, I agree.
You want your kids thinking that eggs come from an eggplant and meat is grown in a dish (oy another one) then feel free. But part of life science (required subject in 7th here) is how plants and animals develop. Let your child live in ignorance, like you prefer to, if you like. But don't condemn others because they educate their children about exactly what is going into their bodies.
