UK Calving season in Devon?

[Rory17]

Is it calving season in Devon? If so, what can I do to help stop the shooting of calves?

Hello ,
I live in Devon. I am spending time in the countryside with my parents at the moment. I love the countryside and nature, but we live right by a farm. As an animal rights person, I get anxious when I hear banging that could be gunshots. As someone who used to be vegan and is now veggie (I want to go back to vegan), I have heard all about the dairy farmers’ shooting the male calves because they can’t produce milk (if they don’t plan on growing them as beef cattle).
I have just heard banging now. Is it calving season in Devon? Would they be shooting the male calves or shooting rats, rabbits or crows?
Thank you .
Best Wishes to all,
Rory.
Have the best day and night ever!

Also, what can I do (activism-wise) to interfere and help stop it (besides going vegan)?

I doubt they are shooting calves. they usually just send turn the calves into veal or let them grow up so they can be turned into hamburger.

Not true. Read more here: Dairy’s ‘dirty secret’: it's still cheaper to kill male calves than to rear them
