Reply to comment by sweetplantveal in ELI5 Are cows constantly producing milk? by ms_myco

Given that beef cows are butchered at ~18 months old I'm not convinced there's much of a distinction between the ethics of veal versus beef.

If you check out NFACC guidelines, atleast in North America, the “lack of space” housing such as crates has been completely phased out. All veal farms I’ve visited (Canadian) group house calves in large pens and provide both natural and artificial lighting and enrichment such a toys and brushes.
