When is it ok to expose children to live feeding ?

I raised 2 girls. You know your kid best.

I found in situations such as this, preparedness is key. Talk about it before hand, answer ?'s. Explain, during, and discuss after. It sure makes a difference.

The biggest problem to overcome is Disney! They have convinced the world,starting at childhood that every animal is innocent and has a soul and should never die.

Please don't take me wrong, I AM quite the animal lover that was originally Pre-vet.

And this is the problem, we have gotten so detached from the real world everything is traumatic... stupid tv and disney we live in an imaginary world. I bet many kids growing up on farms or less fortunate countries are helping their parents kill, skin, etc animals to eat. I think its important to know where your food comes from and completely understand it. The younger kids are expose to this and learn this the less likely they are to grow up screwed up with irrational fears and have a better understanding of the real world. I say do it, before they start thinking all animals are alive and happy and everything is rainbows and unicorns and windup the next member of PETA.
