Petition Ban the Separation of Calves From Their Mothers and the Killing of Male Calves

In dairy farming, typically, calves are taken away from their mothers, with the age of the calves varying. No matter how old the calves are when taken, separation is still painful. The male calves born to dairy cows sometimes become beef cattle, or can be used for veal or simply taken and shot.

We live in a society where cruelty to animals is hated by many, and yet this horrible cruelty is done to dairy cattle and their calves right here, in the UK. This is totally unacceptable.

Some farms keep the calves and cows together, and don’t kill calves or any cattle. While mandating veganism and everyone being vegan would be ideal, at least banning the killing of male calves and the separation of calves from mothers would be a step in the right direction.
