A questioner, who has recently left the dairy business after finding it to be a cruel industry, asks Acharya Prashant about the ethical dilemma concerning male calves. He explains that since male calves are of no use, they are either killed immediately after birth or raised to be sold for slaughter. He asks which is the lesser evil and points out the impracticality of veganism for a large population. Acharya Prashant responds by first questioning the premise of the dilemma itself. He draws a parallel between the killing of male calves for the dairy industry and the practice of female infanticide in homes where a male child is desired, asking why one is considered wrong if the other is justified. He asserts that the issue is not about choosing between a lesser and a greater evil, but about questioning why these violent options were created in the first place. He asks why the calf had to be born at all, explaining that it is a product of forced artificial insemination, a process he likens to rape. He further argues that milk is the food for infants, and no other species in existence drinks the milk of another species, especially after reaching adulthood. He questions a grown man drinking an infant's milk. He explains that the dairy industry is inextricably linked to the meat industry. The person who drinks milk is indirectly supporting the production of meat. He states that India is the number one exporter of meat precisely because of its large dairy industry. When a cow stops giving milk, it is slaughtered, and its meat is exported. He explains that milk and meat subsidize each other; if people stopped drinking milk, meat would become so expensive that the slaughter industry would collapse. Addressing a point about African tribes drinking cow's blood, he refutes the idea of it being a 'blood donation' as the animal does not consent. He distinguishes their situation as a matter of survival, whereas for modern society, consuming dairy is a choice, not a necessity. He also points out that many so-called dairy products, like paneer in restaurants, are often made from cheaper vegan alternatives like tofu. He concludes by stating that a right action will always lead to a right result, and one should not worry about the outcome when doing the right thing.
