Demand calves not be treated as waste products

by: Elisa Smith
recipient: Dairy Australia

Dairy cows are kept pregnant in order to maximise milk production. Once baby calves are born they are separated from their mothers and killed before they are a week old. It is legally permissable to withhold liquid food from these calves for the last 30 hours of their lives while they are trucked and prepared for slaughter.
