Yeah, kind of beat this goat to death. I started doing AQHA when I was that age but my point is that the girls mother had to know how this would go, and the organizers had to know the massive potential for it as well with random little girls having a pet for a few months. Very predictable and just a bad idea. We used to have other kids over and show them around and let them feed ect then explain what happens at a sale and how the meat ends up at the grocery store. Seems like a lot better way to teach kids about all of this but honestly I'm bored of this topic now. CheersNo offense intenred but your first line or two happens in all shown livestock, all over rural America every year and has as long as I remember. Kids get attached to some of them. It’s unfortunate but it happens. Hell, I’m attached to my cattle. Sometimes you just can’t help it.
There are currently a huge number of people involved with ag either directly or tangentially that started in 4h or FFA showing something. Mainly good people and I’d like to think the growing up in that pursuit helped form that person.
Wasnt there or involved but this looks like a parenting or adult failure.
It was made clear to us as kids that most of our pets were edible. Farm life!
Sirhr
Then.. .Hassenpfeffer!
Only pet (other than dogs and cats) that didn't get eaten was a goat. Until he head-butted the neighbor's Mercedes. Then he went to... another farm. These day's I'd have chowed down on her. Because goat is awesome. But in the 1980's in Vermont, Goat might as well have been Narwahl or Kudu. Ketchup was considered a spice. Stupid New Englanders.
Cheers!
Was fed to prisoners of war on prison ships all through the Revolutionary War. Was considered prisoner food.Once upon a time there were laws about how many times a week you could feed your slaves lobster because it was considered too cruel to feed that to them all the time...
You can cook about anything and make gross.
