[QUOTE="Onthebit, post: 523009, member: 8087"] Obviously no person here knows what they are talking about.....White veal is the milk replacer veal that peta is talking about...when i grew up there were 3 types; milk fed....sucked on the cow for a couple months....red....which got milk and grain etc.....but killed about 5 months of age and Fancy white veal....they were bought as bob calves...crated...50 to 100 crates per barn and fed milk replacer.............or milk if the farmers had it...but no iron...nothing in the stall had iron in it cause licking it would taint the meat....the calves knew no other life...they drank milk and were happy...............they didn't move around much cause that would cause the muscle to become fibrous...(thats what happens when you excersise) they become couch potatoes.....waiting for food til they 3 months old...bit more maybe.... Not a good life maybe...but not the worst.....i been at the salesbarn a few times this winter and have to have my husband hold me back cause i want to kill the steward of a pen of 6 month old starved, sick, swollen legged calves............donkeys who will never walk again cause their feet r grown round and round again and that is on top of the starved condition they are in. I don't agree with caging animals.....don't get me wrong but it is a heck of a lot more 'humane' than what is going on in the real world! [/QUOTE]
