Japanese fooled in poodle scam

I wouldn’t have believed this story about Japanese people buying lambs thinking they were poodles if I hadn’t had the enlightening experience of taking some inner-city kids to the countryside when I was younger and realising that none of them knew what cows or sheep looked like – most of them had no concept that ‘meat’ came from animals which was very scary indeed (and most likely made a few converts to vegetarianism).
