Seneca College sends Vet Tech "practice" calves for slaughter
#1
Seneca College, Ontario has a vet tech program. Each year four calves are purchased for the students to use in training. The calves are treated well, but at the end of the year they are sent for slaughter. This year's students raised $3000.00 to buy the calves and send them to a sanctuary. However before they could buy the calves they were sent back to the farm for slaughter.

The students are upset. After all, they are training as vet techs who will care for animals and not slaughterhouse workers.
They became fairly attached to the calves.

I think it is so callous of the college to discard the calves like that.

Nothing can be done for the calves that were slaughtered, but the college is reviewing its policy for future calves. Dare we hope that they will show some compassion next year?
