Stop Killing Innocent Calves for Milk or Meat.

The Issue

 

In the dairy industry, calves are removed from their mothers not long after being born (either right after birth or within 1-2 days). Female calves will be raised to become dairy cows and male calves will be raised and slaughtered for meat. Most male calves are killed for beef, but some will end up in the awful veal industry.

After being removed from their mothers, veal calves are loaded onto trucks and often sold at auctions. These small and fragile calves are often treated very roughly. If they are unable to walk, they will be dragged by their legs or ears.

 

Veal calves are confined in crates measuring about two feet wide. To make their meat more "tender", their movements are restrained by chains around their necks. To give a white color to their meat, the calves are fed an all-liquid milk-substitute, purposely deficient in iron and fiber. After about 16 weeks, these poor calves are slaughtered and their meat is sold labeled as "white" veal. "Bob" veal comes from calves who are slaughtered when they are only a few hours or days old.

Consumers have a right to know the brutal truth that milk products industries (Cadbury, Nestle, Amul, etc. ) would rather keep quiet, how all dairy products are produced. The cruel parental separation and shooting of thousands of male dairy calves hardly fits in with their picturesque pastoral image. And sadly virtually all milk, in any dairy product, has similar provenance. The fate of the these poor innocent calves is replicated across the entire industry. The cruelty is inherent to the industry.
