Yea I grew up near a dairy farm. All the horrors were hidden though, like baby male calves being murdered straight away or left to suffocate in the dead mother or sold for veal.
The above is so full of crap it's hard to know where to begin.
Bull calves (males) go to the same place and undertake the same treatment as a heifer calf (female). They are kept in pens and fed milk which is milked from the dairy herd. They are castrated with rubber bands from very early age (generally few days old) turning them from bulls into bullocks and both bullocks and heifers are de-horned.
Eventually, when old enough they are raised as beef bullocks either on same farm if they run a beef operation or sold at market for beef farms. They are then fattened up over a period of time and sold for beef.
The heifers go into the dairy herd.
It is a shame yea but its what you're up against, and tbh, I do like such polarized topics, a lot of it comes from ignorance anyway and I would no doubt have said similar stupid stuff 5yrs ago.
See above - you continue to say stupid stuff today.
Which I accept, and I agree, some emat can taste amazing. But that in itself doesn't mean that you should. Child molesters enoy what they do, that doesn't make it right.
You shouldnt have to rely on emotionally charged examples to support an argument. You're using child abuse to support an argument on not eating meat? Wow.
Much of the UK (primarily Wales and Scotland) do not have land conducive to non-meat production. Until lab produced meat is available on a commercial scale, how do we feed the UK if everyone turns vegan?
We could try and get greater yields from our veg/grain production but that would involve pesticide use which kills insects (vegans wouldn't like that) or we can be more reliant.on imports which have obvious consequences which we are seeing today with energy.
