No Veal Public Service Announcement

This is a public service announcement provided by the noveal.org organization bringing attention to the very upsetting and unsettling veal calf meat industry.

While I won't force you into my view on this, I will tell you that is my strongest belief that killing baby animals no matter how humanely it's done and under any circumstances is completely unethical and wrong; and no baby animal should have to go through such cruelty just because we want to add a specialty meat to the meat counter.

It's a disgusting and shameful way to treat a new innocent life and shouldn't be tolerated by any thinking compassionate person.

So please consider if you do consume meat, to eliminate veal and other products derived from baby animals from your diet and help to end these unforgivable acts of cruelty committed against these poor unfortunate creatures such as the one in this video.

For more information on the ethics of eating meat please visit my blog on my profile.

Thank You

@isaschloegl " Look at that cows eyes, i want to cry when i see its pure pain but you will laugh at it." You will laugh at it, not me. Its about the person i was talking to. Its obvious.

@isaschloegl Capitalism is built on greed. Self-interest is the great motivator that makes the system work. I don't always like it, but I'm not so naive as to think that isn't the reality.

As for drinking/smoking, it's not a black and white issue. Like with most things, you have to do it responsibly. If people want to smoke or drink, I have no problem with it as long as it doesn't hurt others. Black/white solutions do not solve problems that aren't black and white.

@leifey All of those cancer-causing Monsanto bovine growth hormones, antibiotics and preservatives make it more appealing. E-Coli is yummy!

It's not capitalism. People eat meat out of basic human greed, laziness and ignorance. For an alcoholic or smoker, smoking/drinking feels and tastes good, even though it's destroying their health, their lives and the lives of others. People are "allowed" to pay for booze and cigarettes because they "want" these things, too. Does that make it right?

[leifey]

@isaschloegl Tradeoff? People like eating meat because it's delicious. I agree that it creates other issues, but people for the most part are alright with it as a cost. Everything we do comes at a cost, and people keep doing them because they're not miffed about paying it.

Your problem is mostly with capitalism. For better or for worse, as long as people are allowed to pay for what they want, people will always eat meat, costs be damned.

@leifey The meat industry is tied to and impacts capitalism. Grain production might actually stabilize to relatively normal levels if it wasn't needed to feed billions of cows, pigs, chickens bred for slaughter every year. "Removing" the meat industry would cause many economic problems, but it's creating billions in healthcare (heart disease, food-bourne illness) and environmental costs (disposing of millions of gallons of animal waste). Where is the tradeoff?

[leifey]

@isaschloegl That much we can agree on; the factory farming system and the quantity over quality status quo is something that can and should be improved. A lot of people eat meat for the sake of eating meat. We've bred out the flavor.

And as much as I'd like it if the grain for meat just went to hungry people instead, if we removed the meat industry, grain production would just plummet too from lack of profitable demand. Your gripe here should be with capitalism, not the meat industry.
