LETTERS: Science holds key to veal debate
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.From Ms Heather Sharp Sir: Margaret Carey (letter, 16 January) asks, in the current debate regarding veal calves, "what about people?" Farm animals, like the homeless to whom she refers, are forced to exist in the most squalid and inhumane conditions through no fault of their own. The difference is that the homeless have the power of speech and are able to protest about their plight.
Yours faithfully, HEATHER SHARP London, W11
