Hi all,
Hesitated posting this, but then thought.....why? We all (well most) do it.
I think its important that there is no doubt in Jack's mind how meat gets to the table.
I have been trying to teach him about why we kill fish and other animals, we had months of debate why hunters were ok to shoot deer but it was not ok to throw rocks at them......some pretty philosophical debates ensued with my 4 year old
Anyhoo, Jack has been given his own tackle box for Xmas and is loving having his own gear. He was very excited to see he had his own stringer. He caught the only walleye last night and was very excited to put it on the stringer. When we were leaving he insisted on killing it so it did not "flap" as this is "not kind".
Catch and despatch
and some less violent imagery from last night
