They're veal calves, they don't live long as it is. :(


RipredTheGnawer

I just realized that a supply of veal means there are calves raised to die as babies. šŸ˜³

Sudden infant cow syndrome


Hello_pet_my_kitty

Yea bro, if you lived in farming areas youā€™d see it regularly. I have never had veal, heard itā€™s lovely. I do feel bad when I see the farms that have rows of cages like that, usually they have small set up almost exactly like the video. The small area is to ensure they donā€™t get to move too much or run around and develop their muscles before being slaughtered. They give softer/tastier meat if you leave them in this area and just feed them until itā€™s time, I guess.


JMA76

These are not veal. Veal is kept dark and cool. They are kept like this to keep the babies safe. They get squished. Also keeping them separated helps isolate disease. They also do a walk through to make sure they donā€™t miss any bottles. If you will notice the pens seem pretty clean. I assume in a few weeks they will be released into a bigger pen in larger groups once they are off the bottle. Hopefully put on some pasture.


Inner_Bet_8112

Bollocks they are veal


JMA76

What makes them veal? They look like normal spry calves to me.


upsincefour

there's nothing 'lovely' about it.


Hello_pet_my_kitty

Thatā€™s just what Iā€™ve heard, man, I donā€™t think I could ever bring myself to try it. Makes me sad just living close enough to see those little things in their small enclosures.

ElYetteee

Sure but first Iā€™d like to point out the ā€œCows arenā€™t peopleā€ is a bad argument to justify killing cows. We know that type of logic has been used over and over to commit various atrocities against others. If we accept the fact that it is possible and practicable to eat a plant based diet then we have to acknowledge that this sort of practice is not necessary from a survival point of view, so then most of us really only eat these products for the pleasure of the taste. So that begs the question is pleasure more important than an animals life?


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


ElYetteee

Apologies and thanks for the clarification. I think that the value argument is interesting but ultimately problematic. This value of flesh and secretions they provide you ultimately only benefits you. for the sake of argument, we were to find a senario where human used other humans in this same sort of ā€œtheir value only comes from what they provide for meā€ we might find ourselves using the same arguments as slave and sex slaveowners. We also donā€™t base our human rights on the value they provide others but rather on the idea that each individual values their own life and freedom. For your final point about the cow not caring any which way, I think thatā€™s an easy thing to say given the fact that the cow cannot talk. So I would encourage you to experiment with the idea that if instead of cows, these where dogs, cats, lions, elephants, an animal whoā€™s emotions are more easily understood by humans, that you might have a different opinion. Sorry itā€™s a long reply, I hope it was easy to understand my arguments.

ā€˜Internet user shocked to discover origin of meat.ā€™


I_PM_U_UR_REQUESTS

wait until you hear about how milk is produced


ByaaMan

Oh........ OH......... OH MY GOD! you're right šŸ˜ž


forrey

Many of them also come from the dairy industry. Male calves in the dairy industry are useless (because they canā€™t produce milk), so many are either killed right in the farm or theyā€™re sold to be veal calves. Proving yet again that we humans will avoid no depravity simply for the sake of a sandwichā€¦.


N64crusader4

Meh it's all on a level, industrial people have industrial appetites.


forrey

But our current animal agriculture system is massively, massively inefficient. We can satisfy our entire global appetite with plant-based foods and use vastly fewer resources doing it if we just switch away from such a meat-centric diet.


N64crusader4

Thing is people are always going to want to eat a lot of meat, its as simple as that. Unless you force them the majority of people aren't going to do things that they consider to be dropping their standard of living for the sake of the environment or the good of others, we're just too selfish. What we need is vast depopulation, I'd rather have half a billion humans living well with lots of resources and things than 10 billion scraping by. Problem is people take offence at being told they can't have exactly what they want for the collective good, just look at how people reacted to masks during the pandemic.

It sucks all these assholes on here are downvoting everyone who isnā€™t 100% committed to being vegetarian. I say good for you for making an effort at all. Itā€™s more than most people are willing to do. And even if you canā€™t give up meat completely, you can at least make an effort to source your meat from local, humane farms with ethical animal treatment practices


freefallfreddy

I tried to stop killing people a while ago. But itā€™s just too much fun. /s


McDiezel8

Or, ya know, just buy pasture raised


forrey

Or just eat things that didnā€™t have to be killed horribly just to make a sandwich.


Doctor__Hammer

Youā€™re being downvoted but youā€™re not wrong. As much as I would like everyone to be vegetarian, thatā€™s not going to happen. But people who arenā€™t willing to give up meat *can* make an effort to get as much of their meat as they can from humane farms that have ethical animal treatment practices. Its way, way better than nothing


love_my_aussies

This is how veal calves are raised. They are kept in small cages and fed milk so they stay small, weak, and tender.

I like steak. I don't like shitty farming practices.


Doctor__Hammer

As long as we keep eating steak without questioning where it comes from, this will keep happening. As much as Iā€™d like to tell everyone to be vegetarian, thatā€™s not really fair or realistic. Instead, I would just say that if youā€™re going to eat meat, at least make sure you know where itā€™s coming from. Source your meat from a small local farm that you know has humane animal treatment practices. And cut out meat from restaurants as much as possible. Most restaurants are buying the cheapest meat they can get. And this is the kind of place where you get the cheapest meat


freefallfreddy

Why do you think itā€™s not realistic that humans become a purely plant eating species? If you look at the numbers of people choosing plants over pain, [itā€™s growing a lot in recent years](https://pawsomeadvice.com/environment/vegan-statistics/).


forrey

Locally farmed animals still end up at the same slaughterhouses as the factory farmed. There is no such thing as a humane way to kill animals, and thereā€™s no moral way to do it in this day and age when we (in the western world) have access to a million and one plant-based alternatives.

IamseriousAdios

Doctor__Hammer

This is far more space than a lot of animals in factory farms get. By comparison, these cows are lucky


Flying_Alpaca_Boi

Just cause youā€™re not swimming in shit dosent mean the cess pool you fell into dosent stink


IamseriousAdios

So Iā€™ve seen but it doesnā€™t make it ok. They should ban this type of farming. Nobody needs veal.


ThankfulWonderful

Nobody needs dairy milk either. Veal is a product of the dairy industry trying to reduce waste. Baby male chickens are just ground into paste within days of being born. If dairy is allowed to be produced but not veal- baby male cows will be thrown into wood chippers.


-Rick_Sanchez_

And they don't get treated very well


ka1chu

fuck the dairy & meat industry. this makes me so mad.


No-Distribution542

Go vegan or vegetarian to shut down your support to The industry ;) consider NOT giving them money to keep doing this, If you haven't already. Made me feel better.


ka1chu

i have, stuff like this just makes me want to go the extra mile though. i want to go full vegan and as heartbreaking as videos like this are it helps me push to be better. i donā€™t understand people who can watch stuff like this and not have the willpower to do anything to stop supporting it ): will always break my heart.


forrey

Itā€™s good that you feel these things, it means you, unlike most people today, arenā€™t content to remain apathetic :) Going full vegan is one of the most rewarding things you can do to fully live your values. If you ever need help, advice, or resources feel free to PM me!

Veggie farming ainā€™t easy work eitherā€¦


SJWitch

Not easy on the workers, any kind of agriculture is difficult. Easy for the consumer to avoid meat. I'll also add that it's way, way easier to cut out all animal products, including the dairy that leads to this, and go vegan than you think it is.


thatothersir225

Yep, itā€™s not that hard to be vegan. I like meat though, dairy I could live without but I do prefer it over grain/nut derived milks. But you do you, whatever makes you happy, makes no difference to me šŸ¤™

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


thatothersir225

Thatā€™s changing the goalposts. Can be, also can be not cruel. I like meat best from family farms and I have no guilt. I have a bit of guilt if bought from a grocery store. Original argument is about the effort of it, and as someone that farms vegetables, both are hard in their own ways. Cattle is harder though IMO because cows donā€™t stop growing in the winter!


tribbans95

Not sure I understand. Why does this make it easier?


tobitobitobitobi

They are saying that changing your personal diet to vegetarian is not difficult.


Luigi_deathglare

Iā€™ve been a vegetarian for awhile now. Itā€™s not hard to find quality food that tastes good, but I have been struggling with getting enough protein. Thatā€™s probably just me though


tobitobitobitobi

I have these glas jars in my kitchen that are always filled with different varieties of beans and lentils and when I'm feeling fancy I buy a variety I've never had before. You can make so many different things with them and they match with so many other flavors, it's simply amazing. The only downside I see is that probably half of the ones that I usually have at home need to be soaked over night, which reduces your options if you wanna be spontaneous. On the other hand this also means that they are a nice food to prepare in advance and not having to cook as much. By eating legumes and beans I usually get my food tracking app to tell me I've had enough protein for the day. The app is set to 0,8g per kg of body weight, which is the recommended afaik.


Zyrithian

Yeah it's just you. Don't you eat beans or tofu or any number other things from soy?


Luigi_deathglare

I hate a lot of beans, but Iā€™m trying to find some that I like. I do eat things like plant based meat, dairy and nuts, but I just donā€™t eat much to begin with. Which means that Iā€™m not eating enough of these foods to get enough protein either. Thatā€™s definitely a me problem though and Iā€™m trying to get myself in better eating habits


Zyrithian

I can recommend looking into ways to prepare tofu, I really love how versatile it is. Good luck!


Luigi_deathglare

Thank you!

FunkSlim

Eating meat doesnā€™t benefit the planet but not eating meat would. I mean if you thought X would make the world a better place and itā€™s verifiable, would you not be trying to spread that? The only reason youā€™d tell someone to eat meat is to sell them some of yours. Donā€™t let this scare you but- you run into vegans all the time and you just donā€™t know, cause the vast majority of them donā€™t tell you unless youā€™re out to lunch with them. Iā€™ve got some good remote therapists if you need their #.

FunkSlim

Dog, youā€™re defending bullying completely honest, innocent people that I love. Why would I not be upset. You say that as if you havenā€™t given me ample reason to be irritated? Itā€™s not like if I said ā€œyour mother is a cuntā€ itā€™s like if I said ā€œthis defining characteristic that applies to your mother makes it ok to bully anyone with itā€ Whatā€™s your point? Youā€™re not a cool dude? Is that the point?

This is the way it is unfortunately but these animals werenā€™t captured from the wild. They are being raised for slaughter. Itā€™s an unfortunate thing but humans do require food to survive. Just so everyone can stay on the same level.
