IT seems incongruous that Bredenbury Primary School accepted a £490 donation from Cargill meat business (Malvern Gazette, April 8).

It's great that the pupils at the school are interested in helping wildlife but surely they should also be taught about compassion to sentient beings and the impact factory farming and meat consumption have on the environment, not accepting money from such businesses.
