This is not true

On facebook this morning I was distressed to see this photo saying, " young calves are taken from their mums at a day old and feed in crates for 6 weeks before being killed at 6 weeks old. "
A reader tells me this is an untrue post and is one of many such things that circulate the web!
Why would anyone be bothered to post information like this.. the madness of the web.
