It so happens that the wildlife sanctuary where I work includes a traditional New England working farm. (Well, it's really a demonstration farm: we make money with it, but it's supported by the Sanctuary Society. Its purpose is to show how a small scale farm can operate without a negative impact on the environment.)



This was the first day that Emma, the new calf, arrived at the farm purchased from a farm in New Hampshire. These education staff members are trying to comfort her and get her used to the new place.









Our visitors, especially children, get to learn that what becomes tasty starts off as very very cute!

The teacher who did this came from a family with a long line of fisherman. I'm sure she thought nothing of it. Though it is odd that the school is technically only serves vegetarian food to the kids.

Hmmm, we have snails as a "class pet". I wonder what the kids and teachers would think if I suggested we eat them! (Wild edibles!)
