Please Help!!!!! :( ( Locked) (52)

It's so nice to see a bunch of lovely black and white calves, their coats so shiny and new, the sunlight glowing off them running around chasing one another or just laying in the sunlight between the long grass.
1 week longer BANG, they're all dead.

I missed it all

Am too a animal lover and breaks my heart to see what happens to the defendless :( one thing that gets to me is the welfare of children & animals

Thanks for bringing the subject to attention as even I didn't know that and I live in a farming comminity

Looks like your the target of the night Kizzy

What I think you are failing to deliver. Is a reasoning behind the cruelty?

Blizzard, I dont know if you bothered to read my reply, but I have been part of a farming family.

Where all us kids pitched in to get things done, in every aspect of the farm. In the end when Dad couldnt make a good enough go of the land to keep us all fed, he went back to butchering. Staying away for the week. Mum also ran a cartage business and a small commercial milk run. We all played our part helping where we could.

I have treated fly blown sheep, from clipping the wool away to debriding the wounds. I have also put down animals that were too far gone.

We never practiced cruelty, cruelty is not legitimised by the want or need or making of money.

Bobby calves have always been an emotive issue of the dairying industry. It is real, it does happen. It can be also very cruel when the animals are not cared for the way they should be.

Have you ever seen a 3 day old calf, transported in an open trailer on a freezing cold and wet winters day? Then watched that same small animal stand or lie on a cold wet concrete pen until sold at the sale yards then transported away for slaughter?

I have seen that, and no matter what it is needlessly inhumane.

Farmers being forced off the land is a completely different issue.
