they're brought to full weight and slaughtered, or become dairy cows and produce milk
An example of what people accept as normal:
In 2020, 4.9 million dairy calves were born in New Zealand. Exact numbers are not collected on the outcome of each calf, but NZ dairy industry lobby organisation DairyNZ estimate that of those:
2 million (40%) were bobby calves, who are killed around a week after birth.
1.4 million (28%) were female cows kept by dairy farmers to replace the 20-30% of older cows who will be slaughtered every year when they are no longer deemed productive.
1.3 million (27%) were raised to maturity for beef. Beef animals are generally slaughtered when they reach maturity at around one and half years old.
196,000 (4%) were born dead or die shortly after birth.
doesn't look like any of them become veal at all in nz.
What are you talking about? It says 40% are male and killed as veal within a week.
no matter how many times you edit your comment here, the text you linked won't change
none of your stats showed veal production in nz.
