Steve, in the deceased forum there have been heated debates between vegans and vegetarians, so heated that the vegetarians asked me to ban the vegan who insisted on his agenda. He was too much insistent and obnoxious, but his point which apparently is true is that in traditional cow farming male calves are killed because they cannot produce milk.
That happens in almost all kinds of farms unless they specialize in ahimsha farming.

In traditional farms cows are over-exploited whereas in some smaller farms they can be raised with love and care. The fate of most male calves remains grim, they are either killed or destined to be butchered eventually.

I presently drink milk, yogurt and eat dairy products.
