[QUOTE="Victoria, post: 373937, member: 1258"] I'm happy for you that you are satisfied all is well with the calf. Please understand that we don't see the calf only what you say. One of the posts that really made me feel the calf should be put down is this one: [i]yeah its probably time to put him down, my vet (thank god we really know each other) is coming out for her lunch, for free . we are then going to make the decision what should be done with him, i told her no more money and i am sick of seeing him like this , i am sick and tired of one infection after another. so maybe by later tonigh he will be put down[/i] Your next post a couple weeks later didn't make him sound any better to me. I am one of the least eager to just put down an animal. If they can enjoy their life before they become food I tend to spend too much on them to do so. When I hear about a calf that has to have pus drained from his leg for weeks on end and is falling on his bed sores and the poster says they are done spending money on the animal I get a little nervous. I don't know you and there are a lot of abuse cases that start like that. He is a calf, you are going to kill him eventually to eat him, I presume before he is old so therefore the majority of beef cattle get killed 'before they are ready". I wouldn't consider this cruel as you put it. Anyhow, as I said I am happy for you that your calf will make it. Having seen a lot over the years this is not the norm but I hope he continues improving. [/QUOTE]
