Depends if its British, if so then TBH eating veal is a good thing as those calves would have simply been executed at birth otherwise. If it's not UK standards then no, wouldn't touch it. Especially if from the USA.

Is veal predominately male calves then ? Even so, 26 weeks old when slaughtered, that truly is disgusting to think about, glad I'm not the one having to hold the gun and I just went a bit more towards vegitarianism. Voted stone cold for the veal.

Well, yeah. Male cows are pointless to the dairy industry, if you consume dairy then you are responsible for half of all calves born getting executed immediately as they are useless to the farmers. Some get exported to be used as veal, they get awful lives as most countries have terrible welfare standards for veal (look at the USA as an example, and google veal crates). UK veal has better welfare standards, but British people don't eat veal so they are simply killed.
Being a vegetarian doesn't help whatsoever, you have to cut out dairy completely or you are part of the problem. If you eat veal they live to 26 weeks, if you don't then they get killed at birth or suffer abroad.

Yes. Being pragmatic about it, a lot of animals are only bred because of the industry so exist because of it. On a parr with what you say about milk - I instantly realised when someone mentioned it me years ago when I was experimenting with vegitarianism, being vegetarian serves no part in animal welfair whatsoever, they wouldn't even exist if it wasn't for such an industry.
Sure, if you are vegie you should really drink goats milk or something too, if this has any impact. But who are we deluded ourselves, this is massive underinvested industry where change can only come about by funding and by regulations and its not popular to want to fund for better welfair is it ?
In that sense I'd rather be an ethical meat eater, ( and eat less meat where possible), and want to pay more to sustain that - and yes I would pay more to eliminate the veal from the industry and improve conditions, if I knew I was contributing somehow to somehow improving welfare ( not just marketing BS by supermarkets either, something real and tangible is important).
Pity we don't have a more direct purchasing from a freedom farm type initiative with interests of animals at heart, I would go for that ?
Sadly most people are too shallow to consider animal welfare the same way as they do humans though sadly, the price in the basket comes first, despite a large disposable incomes for lots of other things.
Hence buying meat in bulk / at a "deal" just isn't my prime concern and shouldn't be for others IMO, I think certain minimum welfare standards should be obligatory. Sad deal bro.
