Confinement is so extreme that they cannot even turn around or lie down comfortably. As author John Robbins notes, “The veal calf would actually have more space if, instead of chaining him in such a stall, you stuffed him into the trunk of a subcompact car and kept him there for his entire life.”
Many veal calves are deliberately kept anemic in order to produce lightcolored meat, which fetches higher prices in restaurants. Their liquid-based, irondeficient diets cause numerous health problems.
Motherless and alone, they suffer from ulcers, diarrhea, pneumonia, and lameness.
After three to 18 weeks of this deprivation, they are trucked to the slaughterhouse, where their young lives are taken from them. The above information is taken from WWW.chooseveg.com
