The background of National Veal Ban Action Day

There is a good possibility that you have seen veal on a menu before if you enjoy dining out and make it a point to visit exclusive restaurants that serve food of a certain standard and price. Some individuals prefer not to think about it, while others scan the menu and avoid gazing at it. Beef is produced from older cattle, whereas veal is derived from calves. It can be produced from either a male or female calf of any breed, but the majority of veal is produced from unbred juvenile male dairy calves.

Veal is frequently served in Italian, French, and other Mediterranean cuisines, such as the famous Austrian entrée wiener schnitzel, and has been regarded as a delicacy for many years. In addition to providing meat, calf bones are used to create stock, the base for sauces and soups such as demi-glace. Their stomachs are also used to make rennet, which is used to make cheese, and their offal is widely regarded as the most valuable animal offal.

Veal has been considered inhumane by many conscientious eaters and animal advocates for many years. Along with foie gras and shark fins, animal rights activists view it as particularly inhumane. After attending the World Vegetarian Congress in 1981, Dr. Alex Hershaft became involved in the vegetarian movement and organised Action For Life, a national conference in Allentown, Pennsylvania, which launched the current U.S. animal rights movement. Hershaft co-founded the Farm Animal Rights Movement (FARM) to advocate for animal rights and a vegan lifestyle. The Veal Ban Campaign, created in late 1982, was one of FARM’s earliest programmes, which subsequently became National Veal Ban Action Day.
