It's the mistreatment that's the primary issue. Veal calves by definition have short lives and welfare standards in the industry are generally fairly low, with the exception of some UK producers. It's not all that long since 'crated' veal was banned and UK standards give a greater space allowance and better dietary specification than the EU does.

I don't really understand this logic. What is the distinction between a young male calf or an older female calf being slaughtered?
(with the proviso they aren't mistreated)
