    The moment you realise calves are better equipped for winter than you are.

      My calves always get cold in the winter. But that’s probably because I wear winter jorts

        I love my winter jorts. No problem with cold when your calves are big enough to create their own weather patterns.

      In the very least, we should be ensuring that any animal bred for consumption should be given the absolute best life possible, not crammed into spaces like sardines and forced to exist in their own shit all their lives.

            I have zero doubts that people would be delicious.

                but it is a true fact. theres a huge difference in quality between the basic slaughterhouse meat and full life lived running around and eating what they are supposed to eat meat

                  For fks sake, the detachment from reality in this comment is astonishing. Would it be ok if I raised you as meat and then slaughtered you when you where 15 years old if I guarantee you that you would have a decent life in the meantime? Of course not, it would still be pretty fucked up.

          That’s what they are trying to make you believe. Good life is not sustainable, either for the cows or for you

              Nah I just don’t touch animals or animal products as much as possible now. Easy

    these appear to be veal crates, these are baby cows that have been taken from their mothers to feed the demand for cow’s milk; a horrifically cruel practice. make 2024 the year you align your values with your purchases!

      The pens on both of these (but especially the left) are far too large to be veal crates, which don’t allow calves to turn around.

      Really wish people would stop spouting random bullshit.

      This is so clearly not a veal crate. To be clear, I don’t even eat any beef, pork, red meat in general.
