  • On our tour this week, we visit two farms to find out how veal is raised. It is a controversial topic, with most imagining dark barns and tight spaces. As we find out from Aaron, Tom & Paul, the real deal is quite different.
    You can always see more veal farms at www.farmfood360.ca/#veal-tile or learn about veal in Ontario at ontariovealappeal.ca/
    DINNER STARTS HERE 52 Farms in 52 Weeks!

      This is an improvement over crating, but a finer way of raising them would be on a milk sharing plan on pasture. You wouldn't get white veal, perhaps unless you butchered quite early, but it would be milk fed, which, according to the chefs in several videos I just watched, is quite tasty itself.

      bel pet Because even in the least restrictive form of veal farms like this, veal is by definition calves that are purposely deprived of exercise to make their meat fattier and more tender. The corn they eat, even with the straw for fiber, provide 0 nutrients and cause diabetes and an incompetent digestive track. The cows are calm, but the farm still isn’t humane, because veal itself isn’t humane.

      No need to criticise alot of it.
      But they would have room for it, anyway.
      Different countries have different welfare standards, so while a certain country may have fine veal farms another one might have more bad ones. A person may have issues with veal crates used in certain places (for the milk fed veal), they happen to be banned in the EU and some other areas. Not to mention the individual schemes that ban them (even if not banned on a country-wide level) and farms that don’t use them. In alot of countries (US, Ireland, UK, etc), the vast majority of bull calves go for beef production instead of veal.

    Nature is far and away more brutal. Go watch a nature video on hyenas, African Wild Dogs, Orcas or crocodiles if you doubt me. These calves are raised in humane, if a bit sheltered, existence in clean conditions with plenty of food and water. In normal circumstances, a male calf born on a dairy farm would be killed immediately whilst a cow too old to give milk would be turned into sausage or pet food. As long as people eat meat, the mindset should be to remember that it was once a living animal and to not waste food.....

      Darth Belal the difference the farming doesn’t allow them a normal life. They don’t eat “food”, they eat corn they can’t digest to make them fat enough to sell because that’s literally the only thing they can do outside of standing and walking within their few feet of crowded space. They are not raised humane.
