“This video provides clear evidence of deliberate institutionalized animal abuse in Canada's veal industry. Veal calves are shown imprisoned in narrow stalls on slatted floors. Many animals are chained so tightly that they can barely move or can only perform a few short movements, which they do repeatedly.”

“No animal should be so physically limited in its' movement. The calf can stand or lie in one place only. He can't turn around, lick his back, or stretch out. The chain around his neck ensures that he can't lie down flat (something that calves do naturally). Not surprisingly, stereotypies are common. ”

“Cows are highly intelligent and sentient, feeling beings, and it's clear that the calves in this video are suffering. Deep fear and pain can be seen in their eyes and in their behavior. Calves are just as sentient as dogs - we would never tolerate such abuse inflicted upon a dog.”

“Veal crates are the epitome of a poor animal housing system, and it is almost shocking to see them still being used... Studies have shown that calves tethered in stalls have higher physiological stress responses than those kept in groups or in pairs.”

“In all my experience, this is the worst, cruelest system that I have ever seen, in every sense, housing, health and stockmanship. [T]he system as seen on the video is now illegal in Europe, both in regard to individual housing, and denial of access to solid feed containing sufficient digestible fibre.”

“Psychologically, the isolation and restricted movement [of veal crates] thwarts the calves need to suckle from their dam, prevents social interaction with their mother and with other calves, severely limits mental stimulation and investigative behavior, and disallows any sort of play.”

“Veal stalls... we need to get rid of, plain and simple.”
