Was so shocked when they shot those male baby calves in the head that I burst into tears. I had no idea that they slaughtered all the newborn males because they had no use for them. So sad : (

[mccfluff]

so did i and i knew that it happened

its horrible and such a waste

[rowanwitch]

If we were more willing to eat veal they would live a few more weeks

[Smowball]

Well I would eat veal. Have to admit I dont think ive ever tried it but I would now. And hubbie has eaten it before and will again.

[rowanwitch]

at least their little lives are not wasted and they have a short time before they are slaughtered

I've eaten veal quite often in France and have enjoyed it. Having said that I've also enjoyed horse...................

[Smowball]

Agree 2shortplanks - why IS there such a stigma about veal?

[rowanwitch]

because the way white rather than rose veal was produced using the now illegal crate system that restricted their movement keeping the meat very tender and very pale

[tonyav]

Bet youv'e eaten poor little bambi as well crafty lol.

[craft1948]

Same thing with baby male chicks. They`re no good for laying. My friends used to have a lorry that came around for them. They got behedeaded and the whole lot was ground up and ended up as potted chicken paste.
It wouldn`t take long to educate the public that eating rose veal is less inhumane than veal. Trouble is, there`s no money in it for farmers and it would only be produced as a sort of welfare project.

[Smowball]

lol tony.

Agree the white veal way sounded rather cruel, but not the rose. And I bet the people who wont eat veal eat eggs and chicken, and they are totally cramped being raised , unless they are free range.

I've had lots of bambi's,, some skippy, cute cuddly bunnies, and ducks, the billy goats gruff, and a few more... horse is actually quite tasty... (hungarian friend made a horse goulash)

[Smowball]

horse goulash?? good god.

2shortplanks, I think farmers have a pretty tough deal tbh.

[lankeela]

Just had two gorgeous lamb chops - why don't people feel squeamish about poor little baa lambs?
