Vegan kids videos/DVD's?- classroom

[Guest guest]

I LOVED the MEATRIX as well. My daughter is too young to watch and understand

(almost 2!) but I thought it was great.

I am a teacher and am trying to think of a way to justify showing this to the

class...

Any suggestions?

and 10 year old sons loved it.

I do not believe in hiding the truth from kids for fear of overwhelming them.

My sons have

viewed our graphic PETA videos before and they know the truth about what really

goes on

at processing plants. There is no way you can terrify your children more than

the poor

animals that are going to the slaughterhouse are terrified. We must teach our

children at

an early age to stand up for the rights of others, human or not.
