Pregnancy at Slaughter: What Happens to the Calves?

image

What happens when a cow is pregnant at the time of slaughter? I almost wish I didn't know. From the calves experiencing their mother's death from inside her, while they too suffer or die their own terrible death, to live calves being cut from their dead mother's womb, so that their blood can be drained for science while they're still alive--it's all horrific, and none of it is ever talked about, even though it's a part of the dairy and beef industries and a part of how people get their "finest" leather. There's enough to cover here that two posts are required. This is the first.

By accident a few months ago, I ended up watching a video of a pregnant cow already stunned and hung upside down--and the video showed an apparently almost-full-term calf struggling inside and against the mother's body, kicking in desperation, dying a horrible death inside the womb. Later came the image of that young calf's presumably dead body tossed into a bin (though it seems still live calves are often tossed as well).

Coconut – Chocolate Truffle Ice Cream

Ingredients:

(makes 4 small servings…anything smaller than an overflowing bowl is ‘small’ where ice cream is concerned)

  • 2/3 cup half and half (the original recipe calls for heavy cream, but I like to keep it light wherever I can)
  • 1/4 cup raw cane sugar
  • shavings from 2 chocolate truffles
