That this House is firmly opposed to the export of live calves to be reared for veal; notes that young calves suffer greatly during long journeys and that scientific research shows that morbidity and mortality following transport can be high; deplores the fact that shipping calves from Dover in severe weather has caused deaths and injuries; further notes that once they reach the Continent, calves are often kept on concrete or slatted floors without any straw or other bedding and that such barren systems are illegal in the United Kingdom; believes that it is ethically unacceptable for calves to be exported for rearing abroad in systems that are prohibited in the United Kingdom on welfare grounds; urges dairy farmers to end the export of calves; and calls on the dairy and beef sectors and the Government to work together to develop humane and economically viable uses for male dairy calves in the United Kingdom.
