The Facts On Veal

Veal Calves are:

• Denied sufficient mother's milk.
• Trucked to auctions when only a day or two old.
• Commingled with sick and dying animals.
• Sold to veal factories where they are chained for life in individual crates only 22 inches wide.
• Fed government surplus skim milk.
• Denied solid food to chew on.
• Made anemic.
• Kept in the dark to reduce their restlessness.
• Plagued by respiratory and intestinal disease.
• Unable to lie down normally.
• Deprived of any bedding.
• Unable to walk at all, let alone romp and play.

The Veal Calf:

• Spends its life in a small, narrow stall, in total darkness. It has no contact with other animals. It cannot turn around or exercise.
• Is fed surplus milk and water. This is done to keep its flesh pale and tender
• Never lives to be more than six months old. It dies a senseless death; it is slaughtered for the taste of its flesh.

Offspring of Dairy Cows:

1. The Dairy cow is artificially inseminated.
2. Offspring:
