A rural Highland school has defied death threats from vegan and animal rights campaigners by continuing to post footage online of classroom butchery lessons.
In photographs uploaded online, Kingussie High School pupils practice on the carcass of a rabbit.
Last week, a cookery class prepared and cooked grouse from scratch, with the school again sharing the images online.
On a social media post, the school said: “There is nothing better than peer-led lessons. [The pupil] in S3 showed the students how to skin and butcher a rabbit.
“Once jointed, the meat was used to make a rabbit jalfrezi. All students are meat eaters and all participated in this afternoon’s lesson.”
Kingussie High School teacher Rachel Richards has spoken how she first received death threats from animal rights campaigners after images were shared earlier this year of pheasants being prepared.
But Ms Richards defied the continued deaths threats, as photos were uploaded online showing her and the school's pupils demonstrating how to skin and butcher the rabbit in home economics class.
Dawn Carr, director of vegan corporate projects at People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (Peta), attacked the lessons, saying they can "desensitise" kids.
However, despite the campaigners' claims of “scenes straight out of a horror movie”, the images and ethos received widespread support across social media platforms.
It follows news of a similar situation affecting a rural Hampshire school which received death threats from activists who were unhappy with its decision to rear pigs on-site for food education, forcing the school to stop the practice.
Extensive media exposure of the situation helped the school re-instate the pigs following a positive public, and parent, backing.
Last year, the Countryside Alliance launched a campaign to raise awareness of the extent of online bullying targeting rural-based people and businesses.
