Consumption of Cruel Veal is at All Time Low

The New York Times, the newspaper of record, has declared the boycott against consuming veal is the "most successful animal rights boycott in the United States". In 1986 veal slaughter was at 3.6 million calves annually. Today, thanks to the relentless efforts of animal rights organizations like the Humane Farming Association, the unspeakably cruel deaths are below 1 million. The treatment of these sentient animals is almost beyond descriptions or depictions. Their young lives are spent in locked in crates intentionally too small for them to turn around in. Then they are killed for consumption. Think of medieval torture in the iron maiden and you get the idea. US Person suggests to his readers that if you desire to eat a dish made with veal, substitute chicken breast or lean pork tenderloin sliced and pounded flat. Both of these meats taste practically identical to veal in veal dishes that usually made with a sauce. All animals consumed for human food deserve care and consideration in their raising and slaughter since they give their lives for ours without choice. The raising of veal in crates is an abomination akin to the biblical prohibition against boiling a kid in its mother's milk. You can help stop this inexcusable practice by donating to organizations like HFA as does US Person. Only when the last calf dies can we declare victory.
