(110,159 posts)animal is the food they eat. you know, in all your brilliance about age appropriate and child development, at 2-4 they have no concept about the live animal as food they are eating. you give a picture of a perverted mommy stabbing a live animal. the animal face in pain. the kids faces horrified. blood on them.
you think these two yr olds are putting together that this is their thanksgiving dinner? right.... not the way the little ones brain is working.
all they see is that they are subjected to a mommy wielding a knife, stabbing a live animal while the kids watch.
so, they cannot even associate it is what they eat. but if petas intent is to get tehm to stop eating meat, refusing to eat the meat, it is only cause peta effected the childs psyhic enough to horrify them from eating an animal. yet, you say it does not effect the little ones. teh only way peta wins is IF it effects the little ones in a harmful fashion. YOU cannot have it both ways.
