Support

  • “Veal: A Cruel Meal” – “Solitary Confinement The veal crate is a wooden restraining device that is the veal calf’s permanent home. It is so small (22″ x 54”) that the calves cannot turn around or even lie down and stretch and is the ultimate in high-profit, confinement animal agriculture.(1) Designed to prevent movement (exercise), the crate does its job of atrophying the calves’ muscles, thus producing tender “gourmet” veal.”
  • NoVeal.org – “Researchers also report that veal calves exhibit abnormal coping behaviors associated with frustration including head tossing and shaking, kicking, scratching, and stereotypical chewing behavior. Confined calves experience leg and joint disorders and an impaired ability to walk.”
