Note especially:

Veal production totaled 11.5 million pounds, 7 percent below May a year ago. Calf slaughter totaled 71,100 head, up 21 percent from May 2007. The average live weight was down 74 pounds from last year, at 275 pounds.

The calves are being killed very young--about 25% lighter than a year ago--and 21 percent more are being killed.

Hope none of my animal-rights vegan friends know I am posting this.
