| Calves at livestock auctions are often under one week
old. They have been torn from their mothers, most of whom are still
on dairy farms, hooked up to milking machines that steal the very
milk intended for these calves. Barely able to walk—and some still
with their umbilical cords hanging from their bodies—these calves
are welcomed into the world by rough handlers who prod them through
the auction. The next 16 weeks of these calves' lives will be "spent"
in a crate too tight for them to turn around. Then, they will be hung
upside down and have their throats slit. |
