Wasn't like the lamb was raised at a petting zoo or they had to slaughtet the damn thing themselves.
It's a farm and shit like that happens, sell off excess animals in order to buy others or feed. During the fall we would sell off our excess stock and keep a few to butcher ourselves and fill our freezers.
"The educational farm was started this year, with Marcus being hand-fed by the children. The children also look after ducks, chickens, rabbits and guinea pigs.
The intention had been to buy pigs with the money raised from slaughtering Marcus, but those plans have been put on hold following the furor created by the lamb's culling. The school said the program may now have to be stopped."
