Answer 5

NO, not an abortion that might be humane. It is a Calf, under the age of 3 months.

When the calf is born it is put in a pen that 100% restricts it's movement,,even lying down is not permitted & it only feed milk. aka: "Milk Fed Veal". This makes sure there is  NO "muscle" so the meat is of the "Veal" texture.

Answer 6

Calf.. days or weeks old.. before the meat toughens.  If it is treated humanely before it is killed, I have no problem with veal.

Answer 7

It's a calf that's fed a certain diet.  The calf is born first.

Answer 8

It's a cute baby cow, raised in a pen so small it can't move, so the meat will be nice and tender when you eat the little cutie!

Answer 9

It's a calf. Not unborn.
