A fifth grade school teacher’s fate hangs
in the balance after he screened video footage from a Mercy For Animals
undercover investigation in his class.
“It was definitely inappropriate, said superintendent of Au
Gres Schools, Jeffrey Collier. “This is an excellent teacher on staff. Strong
leader who made a poor decision in his judgment in this particular case.
Donna Spoon, a parent at Au Gres Schools, had this to add:
“That’s up to the parents you know to show that. If they want their kids to see
something like that to show their kids themselves. I definitely think he should
be reprimanded somehow.
While we understand that factory farm footage is violent and
disturbing, MFA investigators merely document standard and legal farming
practices. Yes, slamming baby piglets headfirst onto concrete is standard and
legal on today’s pork farms.
This is the video the teacher showed to his class:
Instead of turning their horror towards this teacher, parents
should look to the perpetrators of such unimaginable cruelty and violence:
America’s pig farmers.
If parents believe watching a video of pork production is
too upsetting for children, how can they let their kids eat pork products? If
Au Gres Schools is serving bacon or offering pepperoni pizza at lunch, it
should definitely rethink the menu.
