Why not a trip round a nice humane slaughter house?
It’s disgraceful that children are allowed to participate in hunting. Encouraging kids to kill for sport teaches violence, not values. We should be raising a generation that respects life, not one that’s desensitised to taking it. It’s time to ban youth hunting.
