That's a nice euphemism for slaughter at a young age :(

Many people who grew up on farms or worked on farms say that undercover investigators pick and choose the farms or footage in order to make the industry look bad as a whole.

In your experience, does the really bad treatment permeate throughout the industry? Or are some places you've seen "fine" except for the fact that the animals will be slaughtered?

Something extreme will be needed for change, whether it's now or in a decade or two. But as we move further along, it's easier for people to be placated by small things while their elected officials keep pushing the boundaries of possible ways in which to benefit at the expense of the other party and, consequently, the entire nation. The larger issue, IMO, is that this is so thoroughly tied to economics that simple elections will likely not ever hold the key to real change. And changing the way an economy works is going to take a crazy amount of effort if you want to convince enough people. /rambling

True, but with cattle for beef being slaughtered so young, it's not putting the bar very high.

Bonus question: I work on a huge campus with a really low take-rate... students are so inundated with every group trying to sell/give them something, they just basically put their blinders on.

Is there anything you do to make yourself more effective on these huge busy campuses where students seem extra-disinterested?
