Veal: It May Be Pink But We’re Still Not Buying It

So the UK public and media are up-in-arms about veal, huh? To eat it, or not to eat it. Here, I’ll help you out. DON’T EAT IT! And while you’re at it ditch the dairy, as the two go hand-in-hand.

While the advice of certain organisations and supermarkets to eat rosé veal is well-intentioned, the real answer lies in staying well away from it all-together. Veal from Britain may be pinker and the conditions ease our conscience a little, but if you really want to save calves from any journey at all, confinement in cruel, tiny crates, and slaughter soon after birth, use your purchasing power. Calves don’t want to die (duh), and they wouldn’t have to if it wasn’t for the dairy industry, which makes milking machines of dairy cow mothers and discards the ‘byproduct’ – the calves born to these mothers.

Sigh.

Rose veal? It sounds like a wine

True - the only true way of avoiding all this misery and animal abuse in factory farms is to go vegetarian or better still vegan.

With the very best intentions of animal welfare standards they might look good on paper but put into practice it does nothing to stop animal abuse - go vegetarian and end the abuse right there.

If you drink milk you’re basically buying into veal. Cow’s only produce milk when pregnant, all pregnancies end in having babies, what happens to those babies? Veal!
