no one is raping cows. and almost no calves become veal. the vast majority are brought to full weight before slaughter.

lol, if you were brought to full weight before slaughter you'd already be dead and I wouldn't have to listen to your nonsense. From the point of view of the victim, who is placed in what's colloquially referred to as a rape rack and has an arm and an needle forced inside her, it's a rape. If she wasn't restrained she'd kick her assailant or run away. Anybody believing this weird claim about veal can go look up veal farms, endless horrible rows of tiny enclosures containing baby cows.

Let's not forget that farms have an exemption from bestiality laws because those laws would prevent them from doing what they do.

it's a tiny fraction of calves that end up as veal. like 3%.

and no matter how much rhetoric or graphic language you use, artificial insemination will remain a veterinary procedure

They certainly don't call it rape, but seems a bit rapey
