Description
Simon was a calf in a Quebec veal factory farm. Confined to a filthy wooden crate and fed iron-deficient milk replacer, Simon became so weak that he was unable to even stand. Workers beat and tormented him, forcing his face into his milk bowl, almost drowning him. The only kindness Simon ever knew was from the undercover investigator who petted and comforted him whenever he could. Simon died in his tiny crate. This painting is dedicated to Simon and all the nameless suffering farmed animals.

Baby cows are precious, they need to be with their mother, and their mother needs to be with them. This is so cruel to abduct the baby from it's mother and lock it in a tiny crate to be used for veal. What is wrong with people, why don't they make the connection, and see the cruelty they are being a part of, and causing, by eating meat, in this case veal. How can they do it?
Twyla Francois replied:
That's exactly true, Brenda. At the heart of the dairy and veal industries are mothers and babies ripped away from one another, often within hours of birth. Whether overt abuse happens or not, these industries are inherently cruel.
