Mother's Day Veal Demo in San Francisco

[Guest guest]

Mother’s Day Veal Demo Information:

 

In memory of all the calves tormented by the veal industry and who will never

know their mothers, Farm

Sanctuary is holding a Mother’s Day protest against the cruelties of veal

production.

 

Please join us on Sunday, May 9 at 5:30 p.m. outside of Ruth's Chris Steakhouse

at 1601 Van Ness Ave. in San

Francisco.

 

Signs and leaflets will be provided, and a video presentation about veal

production will be ongoing throughout

the demonstration. Ruth’s Chris Steakhouse is a nationwide restaurant chain that

serves such dishes as “Veal

Chop with Sweet and Hot Peppers” as one of its specialties.

 

Behind the glowing menu description is the grim, hard fact that veal production

is one of the most inherently

cruel animal agriculture industries. Calves raised for veal are separated from

their mothers at birth and

chained by their necks inside tiny, box-like wooden crates that are too small to

allow for normal movement.

They are deliberately kept in a continuously ill and weak state, to ensure their

" meat " is soft and pale at

slaughter.

 

Our nationwide effort on Mother’s Day continues our efforts to educate the

public about veal production

cruelties and persuade restaurants to take veal off their menus.
