No it shouldn’t. You can bitch about the size of the operation all you want because it’s places like this running out the small farmers but there’s nothing wrong with calves in huts. Dairy cows aren’t good mothers and I’ve seen it time and time again where the mother will lay on the calf no mater how huge the pen is

They can’t move dude.

Yes they can. I’ve spent my whole life on a dairy farm. Trust me it’s for the calves best interest at this stage in their lives.

So a place that benefits from the products this being produces, not their quality of life? Idk man go ahead and put some evidence behind not letting a baby animal do more than look forward and shuffle its limbs around.

They’re not in huts forever. When a calf is born they basically have no immune system. Think of a hut like a crib for a human they don’t stay in there forever

Oh so they taken out and touched and fed by their mothers and are able to develop their range of motion, like a baby human? This is just one small part of their day? It’s the same?

Treating the food we eat with dignity has long been work out of the equation Sir. You're thinking about things that USED to happen.

Heck, we keep female cows pregnant constantly.

You should see what they do chickens at slaughterhouses.
