Wartime was very hard on all! My Mum raised rabbits so they could be used for meat, during the war. She was only 7 yrs old when the war started, and did without sugar so her Grandmother could have it for her tea! There was no selfish behaviour. That teenage girl in the film is silly about her hair! I'd have thought they'd have taught her to try and become a proper 1940s girl! ~Janet in Canada

It is unfortunate that the children were not provided with the incredibly important lesson regarding period appropriate home meat production.

There were plenty of real life stories of people who could not kill their rabbits. And stories of rsbbits being killed and on plates and everyone sobbing and not eating the cooked meat. Even though the poor rabbit was dead, anyway. England was never hungry enough to HAVE to kill their own. I think it speaks well for the kindly hearts and moral stands many took. The Germans in 1945 were eating dogs, cats and rats. As were the Dutch, who even tried to eat tulip bulbs The Allies negotiated doing food drops for the Dutch civilians, with the occupying Na zis, as they were genuinely starving The Americans called the food drops OPERATION CHOWHOUND. The Brits/Commonwealth Air Forces did the food drops named OPERATION MANNA. (Due to the classic education of thosr in charge) All the crews were volunteers. There was no 100 % guarantee they wouldn't be attacked by the Germans. Many of the crews did little packs of their own chocolate rations, little treats, and they dropped them near random hamlets or farmsteads, as they would probably not get any of the supplies.

Since the others had to have haircuts and styles, why doesn't the teen girl? I get that her hair's not long enough to do anything with, but surely it would have been a little better to even it out or something?

Anyway, it's because they clearly don't know how bad nonhuman animal products and the production thereof is, especially nowadays, because they trust their parents to love them and care about and for them, not realising they're doing the opposite and worse when giving them anything from other animals like ourselves.

On one hand, it's wartime in the square, but on the other hand it's not really, and it's not like they were already vegan, but seeing them love the animals is a reminder there is still beauty and love and understanding and kindness and stuff and just goodness in the world, and it's a reminder that we don't start out speciesist or any other kind of bigoted, it's definitely taught. We all start out using our hearts and brains and then turn into the hurt, frightened, brainwashed meat puppets in the comments... And they clearly don't know how bad nonhuman animal products and the production thereof is, especially nowadays, because they trust their parents to love them and care about and for them, not realising they're doing the opposite and worse when giving them anything from other animals like ourselves.

It happened fairly regularly during the war. When it came to it, quite a few people refused to kill them. There was no need. They did get a supply of meat. If you were vegetarian, they did sort out you could have extra cheese - and I believe the first vegan club was set up in Leicestershire in the 1930's

It's clear the parents weren't prepared to address their own hang ups and qualms regarding eating meat and the cycle of life OR parent their children through the experience either. What we witnessed was a group of hypocrites who should seriously consider giving up meat in their modern lives, and I hope they did. If you eat meat you should be open to getting hands on with it, something we are so far removed from with boneless everything shrink wrapped in plastic.
