Local veal farms inflict animal cruelty


Veal farms in Ohio are under increasing scrutiny after Mercy for Animals released an undercover animal cruelty video from local Wayne County farm, Buckeye Veal. The farm in question used the “crate method” of raising veal, where the calves are chained and kept in a crate for the expanse of their lives. Buckeye Veal has responded in defense that they have converted most of their crated calves to group housing since the video was recorded in April. Ohio legislature is expected to debate a ban on the crate system in the near future.
