Dear Ed, With respect to your story about students eating roadkill. I find it quite sad that kids are not being educated to respect life rather than to see it as a cheap meal - it is because of attitudes shown by the student in your article that young people treat animals with disdain. The fact that this is a degree course is tragic. A young thug has just beaten a cat to death in my area - perhaps if he was educated to value life he might not have done. The tutor on this course needs to seriously examine their values. This world is in a mess and the sooner we teach people the value of animal life as being more than dietary the better.
