Starving a veal calf of iron to keep it deliberately anemic is inhumane.
---
In precisely what way? Sickness? Nope. That would ruin the meat. Anemia isn't harmful unless it goes on for a long time. In calves being raised for veal, they aren't alive long enough to suffer ill effects. It would ruin the meat. Try again.

---
Starving chickens for two weeks so that their feathers fall off to get one more batch of eggs out of them is inhumane.
---

When chickens stop laying, they are sold for meat. Chickens who have been starved until their feathers fall off don't provide good quality meat. You've fallen for a lie.

---
Force feeding ducks to abnormally enlarge their livers is inhumane.
---

Torturous force feeding would ruin the liver's quality as meat. You've fallen for another lie.

---
Engage your compassion.

My compassion is just fine and in its proper place, complementing my reason, not replacing it.

If your compassion doesn’t go beyond “quality”, you have a long way to go. Keep trying, though, there may be a heart inside 'ol frgoff yet.

Wow, dude, that is cold. I'll bet you're a real hit with the ladies.
