According to Inside Edition, the internet has fallen in love with a fuzzy calf from a New Hampshire farm.
A viral video of a newborn Scottish Highland calf has garnered 12 million views, more than 160,000 likes, and more than 70,890 comments.
Watch the adorable video.
While most commented, “I need this cow, “So cute, or something similar, a growing number of people are concerned about the calf’s well-being.
Commenters are angry that the farm intends to kill the animal. One woman from Britain wrote:
Why are you posting videos of cute baby animals when you’re going to kill them and sell them as food? There’s something really twisted about that.
According to its Facebook site, Yankee Farmer’s Market, which raises cattle, chicken, and pigs, is a bit taken aback by all the attention. The owners falsely claim that the animals are killed humanely.
While the adorableness of this calf cannot be denied, the truth is that all animals deserve compassion. Just like dogs and cats, farmed animals are sensitive and form bonds with people. It’s the ultimate betrayal to send them off to an early death when there’s simply no need.
