Veal is a By-Product of Dairy 

I repeat: veal comes from dairy.

Veal calves are the result of the dairy industry impregnating cows each year, to sell their milk. Many of the male calves go to the ultra-cruel veal pen. It's a way for the dairy industry to make a profit from the glut of dairy cow offspring.

If you're a meat-eater who "draws the line" at veal, you can reduce this particular misery by reducing your consumption of dairy products.
