Remove the Headmistress (Andrea Charman) of Lydd Primary School, Kent

Remove the Headmistress (Andrea Charman) of Lydd Primary School, Kent

Target:
Number 10 Downing Street
Sponsored by: 

This petition will be delivered to 10 Downing Street in order to protest against the slaughter of Marcus, the Lydd Primary School Lamb. However, we are not just protesting the mindless slaughter of Marcus. We are protesting the conduct and governance of Andrea Charman, the Headmistress, who wishes to run her school like a farm and business. A school is a place of education, not a place of slaughter. The pupils of Lydd Primary School have already suffered enough mental anguish. Save the future animals of Lydd Primary School, protect the mental well-being of students - Remove Andrea Charman!

The following areas need to be addressed due to Andrea Charman's disgraceful conduct:
1/. That animals are not property, that they are not food sources, that they are not placed on this Earth for the bidding of human kind.
2/. The meat industry is not a fluffy cuddly business where animals are hand reared by loving children. Animals are abused, fed unnatural diets, reared on a cocktail of antibiotics and drugs just to keep them standing - that is the reality of the meat business.
3/. That all the other animals which are being housed in the school grounds are guaranteed not to be sent to slaughter. If this guarantee is not made, these animals should then be removed and sent to a sanctuary.
4/. Marcus was hand reared by loving children who are distraught that he has now been slaughtered. They may well require counselling they have been so badly affected due to their love of Marcus.
5/. There is a known and accepted link between animal abuse and human abuse. By teaching children at such a young age that it is ok to kill animals, this may well lead to more disturbing and abusive behaviour in the future.
6/. Lydd Primary School governance. Andrea Charman directly ignored all pleas from parents, celebrities and animal sanctuaries to rescue Marcus from slaughter - this is disgraceful conduct by a headmistress.

Due to all of these reasons and many more, we are petitioning for the removal of Andrea Charman from her post as headmistress of Lydd Primary school in order to safeguard the mental well-being of these Primary School students and to protect any further animals from death at this woman's hands.

Yours,
the Undersigned.

Esta petición será entregada al 10 de Downing Street con objeto de protestar contra el sacrificio de Marcus, el cordero de la Escuela Primaria Lydd. De todos modos, no estamos solo protestando por el sacrificio sin sentido de Marcus. Estamos protestando por la conducta y administración de Andrea Charman, la directora, que desea llevar su colegio como una granja y negocio. La escuela es un lugar para la educación, no un lugar de matanzas. Los pupilos de la Escuela Primaria Lydd ya han sufrido suficiente angustia psicológica. Salva los futuros animales de la Escuela Primaria Lydd, protege el bienestar mental de los estudiantes - ¡retira a Andrea Charman!

Los siguientes aspectos tienen que ser dirigidos debido a la vergonzosa conducta de Andrea Charman:
1/. Los animales no son propiedad, no son fuentes de alimento, no están en la tierra para los antojos de la humanidad.
2/. La industria de la carne no es un negocio suave de peluche donde los animales son criados a mano por niños cariñosos. Los animales sufren abusos, son alimentados con dietas antinaturales, criados con cócteles de antibióticos y drogas solo para mantenerlos en pie - esta es la realidad de la industria de la carne.
3/. Que se garantice que todos los otros animales que residen en la escuela no van a ser sacrificados. Si esto no se garantiza, esos animales deberían ser entonces retirados y enviados a un santuario.
4/. Marcus fue criado a mano por cariñosos niños que están consternados por que haya sido sacrificado. Ellos podrían también requerir atención psicológica por haber sido perjudicialmente afectados debido a su amor hacia Marcus.
5/. Hay una conexión conocida y aceptada entre el abuso hacia los animales y el abuso hacia los seres humanos. Enseñándoles a los niños a tan tierna edad que está bien matar animales, esto puede llevarles a un alarmante y ofensivo comportamiento en el futuro.
6/. Administración de la Escuela Primaria Lydd. Andrea Charman directamente ignoró todas las peticiones de los padres, famosos y santuarios animales de rescatar a Marcus del sacrificio - esta es una conducta vergonzosa para una directora.

Debido a todas esas razones y muchas más, estamos solicitando que Andrea Charman sea depuesta como directora de la Escuela Primaria Lydd para salvaguardar el bienestar mental de los estudiantes de esta y para proteger cualquier futuro animal de la muerte en las manos de esta mujer.

Sinceramente vuestro,

We the Undersigned hereby petition for the removal of the Headmistress Andrea Charman of Lydd Primary School, Kent for her disgraceful conduct regarding the slaughter of Marcus, the school lamb. Andrea Charman is not only running her school like a farm and slaughter house but is causing immense psychological and emotional distress to the students in her care.

Animals are not possesions, they are not food sources, they do not deserve to be abused - these issues need to be addressed in education. However, Andrea Charman is already responsible for the death of one animal and yet there are still animals on her school site as well as animals she wishes to purchase with the intent of slaughtering them. We are petitioning for her removal as Headmistress in order to save those animals from slaughter and to protect the students of Lydd Primary School.

The animals who are within the Lydd Primary School grounds need to be guaranteed that they will not be slaughtered. If this guarantee is not made, we are asking for these animals to be removed to a sanctuary where they may live out their natural lives with loving companions, whom these children have become.

Andrea Charman received pleas from parents, celebrities and animal sanctuaries to save Marcus from slaughter and yet she ignored these pleas. For a Headmistress who should care for her students, their parents and her school, this is absolutely disgraceful conduct.

We therefore ask for her to be removed from her post before she can cause any more harm.

Sadly, the repercussions of this woman's misguided actions will be felt in the lives of these poor children and their families for years yet to come. This has nothing to do with teaching and everything to do with ego. Shame on her. Why is she still employed?

A despicable way to behave - sack this teacher at once - I am a teacher and I stongly believe that people who let our profession down should be dismissed immediately.

What this woman did and is still doing is disgusting. Schools aren't farms and what she did was completely unnecessary. The children thought of Marcus as a PET, and were very emotionally attached to him...despite this, Andrea Charman decided to continue with his slaughter, and even removed him from the school so rescue attempts would be made! Next, she wants to slaughter piglets!

Please remove this souless & amoral woman from her position.She clearly does not deserve to be in a job where she is responsable for childrens welfare or education,in fact she shouldn't be anywhere near children. Please do the right thing & ban her from working in schools all together. yours sincerely,Skye Hoek

Andrea Chapman said she wanted the children to understand about life in the countryside. I also live in the countryside and still manage to enjoy my life without killing anything. I love the countryside, I love animals, walking my dogs, horse riding and enjoying the wildlife. However, I do not eat meat and I do not go around getting my kicks from killing things just because I live in the country. Why do people assume that if you live in a farming community the only way you can enjoy yourself is to be a bloodthirsty, meat eating moron charging around in a wax coats wielding a shotgun?

How this woman was ever put in charge of children I have no idea but she needs to be dismissed and jailed for her abuse of the children in Lydd and cruelty toward animals.

She needs to be removed from her post, she is a vile person who cannot be put near children whose minds she can corrupt and turn to her evil way of thinking! Why not slaughter her and sell of her meat ??? Becuase its inhumane and disgusting! She should be tarred, feathered and thrown down a well where she belongs, where she cannot harm or corrupt anyone! GET RID OF HER!!!! SHE IS A MONSTER!

A Headmistress should be teaching about compassion, love and respect towards other living creatures, not keep it for a while and then have it killed. She is despicable.

How are we suppose to teach our children that we are the more civilized species if we cannot conduct ourselves in a manner befitting. There is a known link to those who abuse animals and once adults enjoy an increased level of violence. It is hardly promoting democracy if the class wishes were ignored and the vigilanty head mistress behaves in any way she sees fit.

This is a horrible thing for the school to do. Enough animals are raised for the slaughter house already - its it really necessary to help them? Disgusting. - and what is wrong with these kids?

When a calf is dragged into the killing pen, wide-eyed and terrified with the stench of blood and death in his nostrils, there is no compassion. Nor when the captive bolt shatters it’s forehead. When the slaughter’s hand grabs the muzzle of a lamb to stifle her bleating and applies the knife to her throat, there is no compassion. And without compassion there is little hope for any of us.
