Barn fire kills veal calves

[Catherine]

I guess it is cheaper to stash the hay in the rafters of the veal calf barn than to have a separate safer place for the hay.
Because they are insured farm animals are not kept safely.

You are so right, the calves should have been outside with their mothers. They should never have been confined in a small pen in a small barn. The calves' lives were short and sad and in the end they died of a certain carelessness in the way we raise animals.

Sadly these fires seem to happen all over the place.
