Treatment of bobby calves
Sir,—l wonder how many others have been upset by thq recent cruelty to bobby calves in Auckland. We piously throw up our hands in horror when some unfortunate humans in an air crash ate their dead fellow passengers; but no one cares about the horror and cruelty of the meat trade. If we must eat meat why can’t the animals at least be treated humanely? I would far rather be eaten as a dead passenger than be a bobby calf destined to be taken from its mother at four days old, either to be slaughtered or left to die of thirst and cold.—Yours, etc., PEGGY HAMILTON. August 30, 1977.
