| From his first day to his last, the life of a "milk-fed" veal calf is one of deprivation, stress, and disease.

| Chained in tiny crates, veal calves cannot walk, turn around, stretch their legs, or lie down in a natural position. | Veal calves are denied all solid food. | To obtain the light colored meat sold as "milk-fed" veal, calves are deliberately kept anemic. | Veal calves suffer from chronic diarrhea. | To prevent muscle development and speed weight gain, the calves are allowed absolutely no exercise. |

| Respiratory and intestinal diseases run rampant among veal calves. | Veal calves are kept in darkness. | Veal calves are deprived of drinking water. | In a futile attempt to quench their thirst, the calves gain weight quickly by drinking more of their drug-laced liquid feed. | Serious leg injuries are caused by a complete lack of straw or other bedding. |
| He is torn from his mother at birth and chained by the neck in a tiny wooden crate, able only to stand or lie on hard slats that are covered with his excrement. He is fed a liquid formula containing milk solids, fat, growth promotants, and antibiotics, deliberately deficient in iron and fiber, to keep his flesh soft and pale. He is deprived of movement, bedding, sunshine, fresh air, and mother's milk and love. His body is racked with respiratory disease from lack of movement, and diarrhea from the liquid diet. If he survives 16 weeks of this agony, he is slaughtered for veal. |
