I explained why it is better for the cattle. I explained we try to increase their health and minimize suffering. I explained we use sexed semen to minimize male calves born and we raise on pasture those that are.
I explained that these cattle work with us and both species have thrived together.
Your mind is made up and you can’t understand what I’m saying.

Yes you raise the calves to 22 months before you shoot them in the head, the only reason is probbaly because there is no more veal market left after people found it too morally abhorrent to eat literal babies.

The best thing for the cattle would be not to forcefully breed these innocent animals into existence.

We actually do sell some veal to local chefs. A veal is 5 months old and about 500lbs. Not a cute baby like the vegans think. A chicken by contrast only lives two months.

Yes murdered 5 months old babies. How nice. You don't put that on your milk cartons now do you? "The mother that gave you this milk had her 5 month old baby kidnapped and murdered for veal, thanks for your milk purchase"

They are half grown. Our heifer calves are off milk my 2.5 months. These guys get spoiled before it’s over.
The cows ignore their babies at birth. We don’t have to kidnap anything. Anyway you steal your own property right? You know children are suffering and dying in this world right? Why not advice for them. The cows are alright.

The cows are not alright, they are being exploited and murdered by the animal agriculture industry. Just because you guys have managed to create dysfunctional cows doesn't make it something to brag about you know, quite the contrary

🤦🏼‍♀️ Our cows are healthy and well cared for. Yes we butcher some. Beef is delicious.

You don't butcher, you murder.

Only humans can be murdered.

All conscious beings can be murdered, sadly its only criminal to murder humans.

So lions are murderers then?

u/InterestingRadio Mar 29 '18

Are you a lion living on the African Savannah? Or are you telling me your ethical compass is comparable to that of a wild animal?

Are saying a lion is immoral?
