The Aragonese teachers' organization Aula Animal has expressed its opposition to the bus's visit, which aims to promote pork consumption among children. They are also urging schools not to participate in this "counter-educational" initiative, which they say is solely driven by profit and indoctrination.
Zaragoza, September 26, 2017 – Aula Animal, an education project based on respect for animals, is concerned about the visit of the Interpork meat company bus to Zaragoza on September 26 and 27.
The activities planned by this company are aimed at children. Aula Animal points out that they are educating children through lies, as they conceal the conditions in which pigs live and die, convey the idea that animals benefit from their own exploitation, and reinforce the false notion that eating meat is necessary for good health.

Carlos, a science teacher at a public high school in Aragon, states that “An education that fosters critical thinking can never provide false information or hide the suffering we cause to the most vulnerable. It is necessary to provide all the information so that students can make their own decisions freely.”
