The Reson Veal exists is due to the dairy industry! Like all mammals, cows must give birth in order to make milk. Like human mothers, they carry their babies for nine months, then begin to lactate for the sole purpose of nourishing their young. virtually all dairy calves are stolen from their mothers within hours of birth in order to maximize profit. 97% of newborn dairy calves are forcibly removed from their mothers within the first 24 hours. The rest are removed in a matter of days. On so-called humane dairy farms, cows are often taken within the first hour of birth. To keep them lactating at maximum yields, cows are artificially and repeatedly and forcibly impregnated year after year. The constant cycle of forced pregnancy and birth creates a huge surplus of calves. These calves are fed a diet of milk replacer while humans drink the milk intended for them.
Here's the worst part: Whether on factory farms, “family” farms, or small, humane-certified farms, male calves and surplus females are sold to be slaughtered for veal or cheap beef. The veal industry would not exist without the dairy industry.
In summation, almost all calves are forcibly taken away from their mothers and used for veal. This causes an immense amount of stress on the mother cows. The mother and calve relationship is said to be one of the highest of all animals. After being taken away, the mother cow is said to cry and moan for days on end.
What can you do?
In order to prevent this from happening, you have to cut dairy out of your diet. This is because it is 99% likely that you are using milk that was stolen from a calve who has been locked up and killed.
