More often, the farmers care for their animals when they are given no choice but to send one of their pigs or horses to the slaughterhouse, the farmer feels regret.
The farmers who let their livestock visit the slaughterhouse are not necessarily the heartless creatures the PETA tends to colour them as. But Silver Spoon shows these issues under a different perspective. "Beauty", perhaps, is not something that would normally be attributed to the handling of manure and the slaughtering of livestock. Silver Spoon shows there is beauty in an unremarkable life. There is little here that we couldn't find in our own lives, and that's precisely why it works. It shows whyĪ simple, tangible story is often more effective than one involving superpowers and end-of-the-world scenarios.
Silver Spoon (known in rōmaji as "Gin no Saji") may serve as a reminder of what is taken for granted, but it also happens to be a highly enjoyable experience in its own right. While we do not normally think about the meat and vegetables sitting in our fridge, the life we know might cease to exist if these everyday products were suddenly taken away from us. The life of the farmer has been nearly forgotten, and with the rise of technology, agriculture is often treated as a thing of the past. Popular media tends to reflect the urban and suburban lifestyle.
