Many activists’ hopes, that veal calves industry would be outlawed, at least in Europe, were shattered by the EU directive who not only didn’t order to close down the industry but even its best point, that the wooden crates must be banned by 2007, is for calves over eight weeks old only. Since veal calves are murdered at around 16 weeks old, they are still isolated for half of their lives under the directive. So even the veal crates were not phased out, just that now they have an age limit.
