I thought this was a very good article..

Think it's something all vets and petshops should have on their notice boards!

that was great to read! thanks x

Made a lot of sense - something everyone should read before considering breeding.

I didn't like Victoria Stilwell at first, but I've changed my mind about her, especially as she's now adopting positive training methods.

I did have to laugh at the 'coconut as your cousin' remark though :-)

I no elementary schools still do the chicken hatching thing. Well atleast ours did, I think children can kinda learn the experience that way.
Or take them to a farm and let them watch the birthing experience their, usually lots of pigs, goats, sheep or cows being born- that would def be an experience for a school class to do, and educational. Of course option for the parents if they wish their children to witness the miracle of birth.
