Isn't it slightly inhumane?

I was watching a program called 'the F word' last night and chef Ramsey's well known for his short fuse. In this episode, he was going to slaughter some home bred turkeys, which his kids had raised as pets. And they were even given names of other chefs, people like Jamie and Nigella.

Before they turkeys were to be slaughtered, he brought his kids out to say goodbye to them and even gave the kids the option of which turkey to slaughter first. As he and the kids left, he said to the turkey, see you later in the oven. All this was done in a very nonchalant manner.

I was slightly disturbed, to say the least. I don't think it's just right for little kids to raise pets and then eat them. You shower pets with all sorts of affection but you certainly dont eat them.

Wouldn't kids, with their active imagination, think that they might one day suffer similar fate after being raised and cared for by their parents? I know it's a bit farfetched, but I just feel it's not the right thing to do.
