Animal Magic (from the archive)

Children love animals so as a special treat I took my niece and nephew for a day out at the abattoir.  We would have gone to the zoo but it was raining and zoos are boring.  

The kids loved their tour, roaring with laughter each time Sandy the bearded tour guide bellowed “Guess What Happens Next Kids!” through her megaphone.  They did not guess correctly and the last part of tour did come as something of a shock.
 
Still, infants’ tears are easily dried by the diversion of a new toy, and a trip round the gift shop soon sorted them out.  Tim chose a replica bolt gun, which he managed to use on both his parents before it was confiscated, and Rosie got some ‘cow soap’.  I didn’t know they are such clean animals.  


Overall the children loved the experience and have since pestered their mother for a return trip to the indoor zoo with all the ketchup on the floor
