Vegan/Vegetarian food facts?

Probably the most important things about diary and egg industries, even organic ones, is that calves are taken away from the mother days or even hours after being born. The mother screams for days for her baby. The calves are either sold to veal farms or raised on a milk substitute to be a dairy cow. Once the cows are too old to produce milk, they're sent to slaughter. Egg hatcheries only keep the female chickens. Depending on what the chickens are being bred for in each individual hatchery, the males are either killed, or raised for meat. Just like the cows, when the hens are too old to lay eggs, they're slaughtered for low-grade meat.
