Veal calves are the males taken after birth from milking cows.They are raised in tiny crates for 2 1/2 months to prevent the calf from having any exercise, thus producing tender meat. Calves are not even able to turn around or walk. Sometimes they have no room to lie down.

Dairy cows are artificially inseminated and, after giving birth, are milked for several years until their production levels drop, then they are slaughtered.

Dairy cows are fed synthetic hormones to increase growth and production. They are given antibiotics to avoid sickness (not treat sickness) because they're kept in very unhealthy and confined environments.
