The only farms granting access are those who will be on best behaviour and never does the question of whether it's right to use other animals at all, come into play.veganoutreacheastmidlandshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13874361077325033011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4068183962205437050.post-59705430673049317712012-06-09T17:15:06.644+01:002012-06-09T17:15:06.644+01:00Great article as always.

I was one of the people of complained, not for the shocking scenes but the contradictory message of these kinds of shows, River Cottage Veg being another example. I also politely suggested that a documentary or even series about the real truths of animal-based farming be made - let's hope they listen!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4068183962205437050.post-63706627484668897392012-06-06T23:48:36.385+01:002012-06-06T23:48:36.385+01:00Agreed LiseyDuck.

The root of the concerns of Jimmy, CIWF, RSPCA etc is that they are too cute at that stage and should be used more profitably later at a supposedly less cute stage. It's so manipulative and empty a gesture.veganoutreacheastmidlandshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13874361077325033011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4068183962205437050.post-38647398544529042512012-06-06T11:17:05.667+01:002012-06-06T11:17:05.667+01:00I don't get how they think it is better for th...I don't get how they think it is better for the calves to be kept around a bit longer then killed. On utilitarian grounds you could just about make an argument for it - note the 'just about' - but then you can also make utilitarian arguments for doing all sorts of horrible things to humans. Maybe the idea is to get them past the cute baby stage so the public will accept it more...LiseyDuckhttp://increasingveganicity.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4068183962205437050.post-72092845030856506632012-06-05T12:06:51.755+01:002012-06-05T12:06:51.755+01:00Thank you both very much for your comments.

Perhaps then more people would wake up to the realities of how their neatly packaged food and drink products are really obtained!!
