Grow up on a farm and you really have no delusions about how the world works. Although I did think teachers lived at the school so I was unclear with how Mrs Thatcher got pregnant.
Presumably, alcohol involved.
Although, that too likely still naive.
... The perversions in the crooked cabal... they're into a lot of really really vile stuff.
[Edit: Oh... or are you talking about a different Mrs Thatcher than

Oh we love you Mrs Thatcher, like your old man likes a brew;
such a lad your husband Denis when he's had a drink or two.
Sure he'll take a pint of Murphy's and a glass of Irish Mist
and because he sleeps with you each night, no wonder he's always pissed.
Yeah it was a different Mrs Thatcher, and to be clear that might not have been her actual name, I'm just coming up with something that sounds appropriately similar. I've subsequently seen pictures of her in the class yearbook. She was really really hot, when she was my teacher she was younger than I am now so I absolutely did not appreciate her attractiveness.
There were a lot of teachers that were married, and that in itself didn't make sense to me. Not because I thought they lived at school, but because they had such awful attitudes that I couldn't imagine somebody agreeing to spend their entire lives with them.
Then I grew up and realized that their husbands were probably awful, too. Either that, or the teachers took all their frustrations out on their students and had happier home lives. Either way, I still find it pretty sad. I know patience is a virtue, but you should know what you're getting into when you choose to become a teacher. Shitty teachers create traumatized students. If you don't think you can hack it, please, for the sake of all that is good, consider a different career.
Oh no she was wonderful, we got to hear all the hot gossip from her. None of the teachers liked Mrs Hall, she was the antichrist apparently. Even as a kid I could tell she hated children. God knows why she became a teacher.
Meanwhile Mrs Thatcher had a rabbit, a classroom pet. Oh it was wonderful, I'm not sure I necessarily learnt all that much from her, but I really liked her.
I mean you grew up believing that it's healthier to eat meat rather than just more profitable to sell it, or that it is morally defensible in any way to create an intelligent creature and then force it into a state of utter lifelong dependency just so that you can exploit its biological processes, so I wouldn't be so sure about that "no delusions" thing. You're on your own supply.
Humans are part of nature too, and we have our animal instincts same as any other animal. Only thing that differs is our capacity to self-reflect and exercise agency over our place in the ecosystem. What matters is that we have respect for life and don't take it for granted. I agree that factory farms, hunting for sport or luxury goods like furs, etc. is wrong, but I don't see a problem with a small farm raising some animals as long as they're treated with respect and given a comfortable life. All animals - including us - are dependent on others for survival.
Seriously I've read this about 10 times and I still have no idea what you're going on about. It's healthier to eat meat than sell it, what?
What absolute grammar hellhole is this? What animal are you thinking of?
Interestingly, I don't have issue with people who hunt for meat (provided they follow generally accepted responsible hunting practices), but I have a big fucking issue with animal agriculture.
The quoted section is the distinguishing factor. Creating sentient life for the explicit purpose of exploiting it really rubs me the wrong way.
