those are raw numbers. your scientific study doesn't support the claim that you're making.

My math is based on numbers from the USDA. your sources are narratives from biased organizations. Even they aren't dishonest enough to not admit that male calves are raised for beef. they prefer to focus on the veal production because they think it's more horrific but try to pin them down on the actual number of cattle that are brought to full weight before slaughter.

Source for number of dairy cows in the usa

Source for annual veal production in the usa

thousands of head of cows = 9448.0

actual cows = 1000 * thousands of head of cows

annual male calves = .5 * actual cows

veal weight of calves in pounds = 450

annual veal production in millions of pounds = 58

annual percentage of bobby calves that become veal = ((annual veal production in millions of pounds * 1000000) / (veal weight of calves in pounds * annual male calves))*100 = 2.728384608147521%

the vast majority of calves are brought to full weight before slaughter

edit:

this user is using this thread to advocate for a position that clearly isn't supported by the facts, but by the ideology they are evangelizing here. if you want to waste your time watching me waste my time arguing with someone who is not engaging in good faith, this is the thread for you. otherwise it comes down to this: they think dairy is unnecessary and cruel and therefore immoral. any problem i've pointed to in their position is glossed over and turned into a personal attack.

I know it's just an example but I wanted to point out that almost no calves end up as veal.

i find there are lots of things i can't do well on windows, but it might be because my knowledge started to stagnate about 20 years ago. for instance, pathing all my executables. i know it sounds niche but hear me out: i still write shell scripts basically every day. so if i need to call, say, inkscape to convert an svg to pdf, i find it's easier in debian, since the inkscape executable is already in my path. and i create scripts all teh time and just stock em in my path. i use windows at work, and i find the whole notion of writing shell scripts for it daunting, not least because i need to track down the exact location of each executable.
