“My perspective of veganism was most affected by learning that the veal calf is a by-product of dairying, and that in essence there is a slice of veal in every glass of what I had thought was an innocuous white liquid —milk.”- Rynn Berry

“If you want to know where you would have stood on slavery before the Civil War, don’t look at where you stand on slavery today. Look at where you stand on animal rights.”- Paul Watson

Another phenomenal exposé on the cruelty inflicted on farmed animals. Thank you for all you do!

One day, our descendants will look back upon how non-human animals were treated as a stain on humanity.

Until all animals are free from harm then none of us will be.

Terrific, arduous investigative journalism; and so it's not a surprise that the observations are so depressing. I can't decide which is more depressing, actually, the apathy of the majority who find the brutality involved in animal agriculture to be normal and acceptable, or the scheming defensiveness of those who feel threatened by critics of animal ag -- e.g., putting a male calf in a comfortable-looking shelter, naming him Dan as though he were a member of the family, and posting a good-looking young farmer next to him to prove how well taken care of he is. And it's all too credible that lots of people will eat anything that tastes good, no matter how it's made, so long as it isn't labeled vegan.

Thank you Mark, I appreciate that. In my personal opinion I'd have to say the apathy of the majority is more depressing to me.
