Is it eating Veal meat cruel and wrong ?!
Answers:
Cruel is an understatement. As a vegan, I think it's torture. All veal comes from dairy cows, imagine being used to produce breast milk for your entire life, and every time you have a baby you only have 5 days with him before he is taken and chained up in a dark. The chain is short so that he has little room to move, because they want to stunt his muscle development. He never sees the light of day and will never taste solid food. Those 2 to 3 meals are completely liquid. After 4 months of living this 'life' he is sent to the slaughter.
Define Holocaust: "an act of mass destruction and loss of life". Germany's holocaust is over, but when will the holocaust of the animals end?
i am a chef and i do like veal. i hate when people say i am immoral to be eating meat or especially veal because it is so young. i'm not. perhaps it's because of the way i've been raised, perhaps not. but for me, i respect animals, whenever you read these articles for pro-vegetarianism they always seem to go to the extremes. don't be fooled. this is what the media does. so when people decide to become vegetarian these days its because of the media. if their documentaries or articles wern't in the extreme (and when i mean extreme, i mean, the treatment these animals get is 1 in a million. believe it or not but most animals live a long and fufilled life) then i really do believe the world would have less vegetarians. Not that its a bad thing. having vegetarians is a good thing. also i don't appreciate some answers where they compare meat to humans. animals are not humans! why would you drinks human milk anyway? and what does that have anything to do with drinking cows milk?
For a meat eater, that is a strange question you ask. But, I do see you show empathy reading about a calf's misery.
I could write the same exact thing for each and every animal you eat - and I bet you will show the same empathy.
What that truly means is that - if you truly feel as bad for the calf because of this story, you should give up eating meat altogether. Because, all meat is meat. An innocent animal is harmed cruelly for food that is not necessary to sustain you.
If you are willing to eat one animal you ought to be willing to eat them all. The veal produced in the UK is reared on farms in association with RSPCA's freedom food programme, and under Food Standards Agency law. Battery farmed chicken is worse than veal in the sense that they have 1square metre for up to 21 chickens, they become distressed and will peck other chickens to death and pull out their own feathers.
The best thing to do as a non vegetarian is to get free range/organic meat, or meat from butchers, the welfare standards of the animals involved will be much better than those used for value meat.
As I feel this is as just as cruel as battery hens and intensive pig raising but instead of banning all we change to make it better for them.
You will never get the masses to stop drinking milk so we have to put up with that so we still have to fight at least to make sure these animals are getting treated humanly as possible.
The animal protesters maybe pleased with themselves taking Veal off the British menu but what fate have they left these calves in now. They are en fact in most cases worst off than they where in the cages. As there is no market for them and the price of Holstein is poor, it is not in the best interest of the farmer to keep them and raise them so the males are bolted (Killed) straight after birth. To be honest that angers me, I hate waste and that is waste. I also feel anger that the animal rights groups have yet again not thought about it properly. They have not saved nothing but cause more dispare and waste, doing good would at least is improve the veal market. There is rose veal which gives them ground to walk and sunshine etc etc
Again the increase of our own population is the biggest cause of concern!!
I do not eat veal raised that way. The veal I eat is free range. It was allowed out fed from its mother was given water and yes I know this to be true. The farm is my Uncle's and I have seen it for myself. The veal from places like you described is unhealthy for humans
You can't miss what you never had. You could just as well say "well, at least the deer didn't see the meadow, only to be slaughtered before it had a life."
The mainstream are happy to drink another mammals milk and think this is acceptable only because they know no better, tell me would
you be happy to buy cartons of human milk? NO? Think about it!
It's the same with all meat! If you think one's wrong, you should probably become a vegetarian!
It depends on your opinion.
Personally, as a vegetarian, I think it's horrible.
I wouldn't eat veal even when I was an omnivore. It just seemed too horrible.
vegan
Yes it's wrong, but why single out veal. Slaughtering any kind of animal breaks my fecking heart. </3
Vegan

pescetarian
Stop reading that stuff and enjoy your meal ! veal is delicious.
Yes it is.
yup
no, of course not
No.
I don't think so. The cow is going to be killed and eaten. Now or later.
Veal is pretty tasty.
Don't believe the hype!
Besides, true veal doesn't live to 14 weeks. They take the calf at birth. Expensive veal doesn't even hit the floor.
No, them baby bovine taste mighty fine.
