    What do you call separating a mother from her baby and killing him because he’s born male in the dairy industry

    the vast majority of calves are brought to full weight before slaughter, but this isn’t torture either.

      They’re separeted from their mothers and not allowed to feed. The mothers cry out wiyh so much agony. The calves are confined and given powdered milk in water, often not enough.

        some cows are also terrible mothers. keeping the calves safely out of kicking distance and feeding them nutritionally adequate diets isn’t torture.

      Separation of love is torture. It’s agonogizing pain. Imagine being sexually assaulted and then giving birth and someone steals your child from you
