Costco Speaks Out On Veal Supplier’s Tactics

September 1st, 2010

Costco Wholesale Corp. has condemned a veal producer’s treatment of calves after seeing footage shot by an animal rights group.

The group, Mercy for Animals, released video this week that it said was taken by hidden recorders at Buckeye Veal Farm in Apple Creek, Ohio. It shows calves chained inside small stalls where they are unable to lie down or turn around and are covered in feces.
