Unfortunatly, this confirms what i suspected. Male cows, at the very least, are a byproduct of organic milk production. So consuming it still is contributing to animals being killed, albeit more indirectly.
For me, that is the red line i wouldn’t want to cross.
I don’t see how those male calves live a life in dignity, but i respect that your line is different from mine. Thanks again for giving me a glimpse into the industry, that was very informative.
As I said, I’m vegetarian mostly for environmental reasons and I’m okay with killing animals as long as they’re allowed to live a dignified life and the killing is done in a humane way. Both of these are ensured by the EU-BIO regulations and even more so by the Bioland, Naturland and Demeter labels.
Again, for me a dignified life includes, access to fresh pastures, a herd and enough room and shelter for the animals. Meat cattle get all of those in organic farms and that’s good enough for me.
Once more, thanks.
