One of the most well-known, yet haunting, facts about the dairy industry that vegans share, is that male calves are considered a ‘by-product’ and often killed within hours/days of birth. An industry statistic in 2015 showed that 95,000 male calves were killed on dairy farms in the UK in just one year. This is highly distressing and will shock most people who find out about it. A further 3,446 calves were exported overseas through Ramsgate in 2019. With well over one million calves born on dairy farms each year in the UK, where are the majority of calves going? And is there a ‘kinder option’?
