LONDON (Reuters) - A group of schoolchildren who reared a lamb from birth and named it Marcus has overridden objections by parents and rights activists and voted to send the animal to slaughter.
Marcus the six-month-old lamb has now been culled, the head teacher of the primary school in Kent confirmed on Monday, after the school's council -- a 14-member group of children aged 6 to 11 -- voted 13-1 to have him killed.

They need to hurry up and decide while he's still young and tender.

Well we grew tomatoes to eat in school......why should this be different.

Except for the amazingly awesome Au Jus.



Edit: These kids make more sense and vote better than our House and Congress.

Hey -- before you throw stones - maybe these kids are from poor regions and this represents the best meal they will get this year

They still have spades diamonds clubs and no trump to go with though. There is bridge, they'll get over it.

Good for the kids. I'm glad they stuck with what they planned to do in the first place. Would have sucked had they let these adults change their mind and ruin the plans they had for this program they got going.
