I'm a little late to this but what was the issue? We eat roo's over here quite often and no one cares. Did they inform parents that they were doing it? If they did, I don't see a problem.
Idk. Maybe I'm too laid back but I don't get what the kerfuffle was about.
Hello; many years ago a story went around about how a public school teacher got into a jam by taking students on a field trip. I took students on field trips myself so the story hit home.
It seems part of the field trip was to a local slaughter house. It also seems that some of the students who were happy to eat a burger at the fast food joints did not like seeing how the burger ingredients were made. The parents raised a stink. I guess it was more that the students could no longer pretend to believe whatever fantasy had been in place.
I saw no problem but as a child I saw my food being raised and took part in the slaughter myself. When around five to six years old or so my job was to catch hens for supper. I built a fire under a tub of water and when the water got hot I would catch two hens. When I got strong enough I also cut off their heads. I would let them run around spurting blood and bumping into things. My mom would throw them under another tub and let them jump around in side for a bit. That way she did not have to go find them.
The hot water was used to help get the feathers off. Mom would hold the dead chicken by their feet and plunge them into the hot water. It did stink but I guess somehow the hot water did lossen the feathers. Anyway those hens were very tasty and part of the best meals I ever had.
I hope roo's are tasty. I would eat them.
