I’m completely with you position.
I, too, grew up on a farm and cut the balls off a crying calf, along with budding horns.
This is obviously “animal cruelty” to many people here, but they don’t understand why farmers should be allowed to do what they’ve always done to their herds.
Next up, “FReepers Against Eating Meat.”
All animals should be treated as humanely as possible.
Is that too difficult a concept to grasp?
