Triblocal: did you do any fact-checking into the relationship of the Glenview animal-rights activists and Wagner Farm? I had heard that the person initiating most of this discussion at one time was the one who asked for taxpayer dollars to purchase the farm initially, and who was part making of the decisions on how it was initially run.
If that’s the case, it strikes me that it’s important to differentiate between an individual who doesn’t like how something they initiated has changed, and someone who opposes something based on principle. If animal farming is so cruel, why create a program showcasing it, even in half-measures?

LOL – I’m not sure you want to be quoting Shakespeare, who for darn sure wasn’t a vegetarian.
FWIW, we fish – and kill, clean, and gut the fish ourselves. I agree with you – if you are going to eat meat, I think it’s important to know that you’re taking a life, so you don’t take it for granted, and that’s one thing kids learn in 4H. Vegetarians should think about the animals they starve to death due to habitat loss – Farming and logging have severely disturbed at least 94% of temperate broadleaf forests.
Eating is an inherently destructive act.
