Mandatory Slaughterhouse Visits for Schools
We demand a law mandating that primary school children visit a slaughterhouse at least once a year. This will give them the knowledge and freedom to make informed choices about their food, and help break the disconnection between meat on our plates and the living creatures killed for our consumption
The meat industry hides the terror and agony animals endure before they land on our plates. By witnessing slaughter and seeing the reality of the meat industry, children will understand the impact their dietary choices have on animals and the environment. With almost 1,000,000 pigs slaughtered monthly in the UK, reducing meat consumption can mitigate climate change. Sign this petition to teach our children the truth and empower them to make informed, compassionate choices for a better future.
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
We can only accept petitions about things the Government or Parliament are directly responsible for.
The Government sets the national curriculum, but decisions about how to teach this, including what visits to arrange, are a matter for individual schools, not the UK Government or Parliament.
We could accept a petition calling on the Government to add content on slaughterhouses to the national curriculum, if that's something you'd like to happen.
