My three grandchildren are huge animal lovers and spend almost all of their spare time at their local stables. Both girls (7 and 5) are confident riders and have been riding since being able to sit up. The eldest spends most of her waking hours either with animals or "finding out about them" neither girls have ever been huge meat eaters as prefer vegetables. Last weekend we visited a petting farm not far from where we live and the girls were feeding a huge turkey through the fence when the little one commented "grandma is this the same as the turkey we have on our Christmas dinner?" Much to my shame I avoided the answer and quickly moved on. On the way home in the car the eldest asked "grandma what is meat, is it animals that have died?"
She then went on to declare that she was never going to eat "dead animal" again and her sister agreed followed by their little brother (3) who said "me no like dead ammimmals eeva".
I knew this day would come, I jut thought it would be a few years away yet. Has anyone got any experience of this? I would appreciate your views.
