Yet again, No.
That was the point: most people eat animals. We eat animals. Here is how a responsible steward raises and treats the animals that sustain his family.
The entire point of the whole place is how this family sustains itself on the acreage that they have. That was the whole point: to show how they’re doing it.[/QUOTE]
But they aren’t doing it. Instead, it seems that they are presenting an idealized version of somebody’s concept of life on a farm (but instead is a place set up primarily for entertainment). That’s how they are making the majority of their money, not by actually farming.
It seems to me like we are talking apples to oranges. I think that the majority of people do realize that farms produce food and that cows produce the steaks that they buy at the market, and most (but not all) would accept it if it were presented factually as such. However, if the farm is presented more as a family fun experience/petting zoo/see the baby animals/arts and crafts/baby and mommy experience, in a way you can’t blame some people for feeling betrayed when it turns out to be something different. It’s a farm like a zoo is to the plains of Africa.
Perhaps we can at least agree that this farm’s basic marketing strategy was not as effective as it should have been, and perhaps the farmer was to some degree presenting his business in a way that may have not conveyed his original intent.
Not all business owners/business decisions are 100% correct all of the time.
