It is the manner in which the animals are kept that stops me from eating it. They are the cow equivalent of battery chickens and people regularly protest against this.
My parents live on a farm where we regularly eat our livestock and we know that the animals have led free, peaceful and happy lives. If the same could be said for veal then amybe more people would feel comfortable eating it.
At the end of the day everything in the supermarket once had legs and walked around, they don't just appear one day vaccuum packed. I have never eated veal personally because my parents were against it ever since i can remember and i genuinely do not know how old the calves are when they are killed.
I for one will certainly never eat it until i know that the animals are being treated fairly during their short lives and never if my dad won't as he is one of the biggest animal lovers i know, if he won't eat it then neither shall i. Ever!!
Hi,
Can you clarify a couple of things? You say your "livestock" have led "free, peaceful and happy lives". In what sense are they free?
Secondly, can we eat humans who have led similar lives?
