Week 12: Silver Spoon

The story takes place in an agricultural school where people are very familiar with livestock. Hachiken has a strong relationship he had with this pig named Katsudon every since it was a baby. He raised it and cared for it as it was his friend. But eventually, he had to give Katsudon away and bought his meat, and made a pork barbeque. He was sad and did not take it for granted, as he appreciated more than anyone else. And eventually, Hachiken gave everyone a wake-up call that livestock is not just animals but their friend who gives you life. Animals are cherished and appreciated, giving them the rights that they deserve. This anime gives a really strong message that animals give us food on the table and we should be more appreciated for them than ourselves who work for the food. It truly makes me think how much we are not thankful enough for the sacrifices these animals make and I believe every animal needs to live a happy fulfilling life because they deserve it more than we do.
