Veal calfs are only fed milk or milk substitute. They're never put on grass or given grass products to eat.

I draw the line at anything that is cruel to the animal, one reason i have never eaten veal and never will, most people will not know this but to get pale color they feed calfs a diet that makes them enaemic which to me is well i have no words i can write on here

I do agree, but the opportunity was there and I took it. Never again though!

Not tried veal either, and yes that's on my no-go list as well.

Veal calfs aren't subjected (in UK) to anything bar being fed milk. UK children can however be subjected to no fresh food whatsoever!

Not all cows, though. Dairy cows are the result of selective breeding, they produce 8x the amount of milk as "natural" cows. As far as I know they also need to be impregnated to start producing milk, and then the calves are taken from them and either culled if they are male,

Veal calfs are only fed milk or milk substitute. They're never put on grass or given grass products to eat.

This is why there is a push to try and sell more Rose Veal in this country as they are fed on straw and cereal not milk.

Perhaps they should try renaming it so it doesn’t have the stigma of veal.

Straw..sounds a bit harsh...more likely hay.

I agree with your stance, so I choose rose veal instead. The name comes from the colour of the meat, which is a delicate pinkish colour instead of the usual anaemic white, because the calves are not cage-farmed and have high welfare conditions for their short lives. I think this strikes a good ethical balance, as so many bull calves produced in the dairy industry would be without valued and killed off, whereas a calf farmed for rose veal at least has a happy life and a useful death.

I think i could live with that
