Pietro

Pietro was rescued one of the times when we were going to get hay for the animals at the sanctuary, he was thrown in a corner in his own feces. He was left to die as he had severe diarrhea. He is a male calf and discarded from the dairy industry, his mothers are artificially inseminated every year so that they can bear a baby and thus produce more and more milk for humans.

The females that are born will suffer the fate of their mothers, being exploited and enslaved until their bodies can no longer take it, and then they are sent to be murdered in a slaughterhouse. Mothers who never meet their children, as they separate the calves from their mothers as soon as they are born. Male calves are discarded and killed as soon as they are born or, in some cases, are raised for a few months and then slaughtered.

“Veal” are male calves, discarded and confined in cramped, dirty places to be slaughtered when they are two to three months old.
