Veal

I am writing in response to the article regarding the treatment of veal calves (Part I, April 6). Ever since the horrifying moment that I discovered how veal calves are raised, I have not eaten veal in personal protest to what I consider to be blatant and unnecessary desecration to animals.

And in response to state Sen. H.L. Richardson’s (R-Glendora) poor and offensive justification (“We’re not locking a human being up, we’re locking an animal up”), I say: The power of dominance over another living creature does not absolve cruel and abusive treatment of it.

I’ll stick with pasta.
