Two things:

Cattle are slaughtered within 1-2 years and they are held in feed lots for 1/3 of that time.

Cattle slaughtered for veal are caged and do not live in any humane conditions.

I would certainly not want to exist.

In the US, not so many. In the rest of the world, quite a lot. It seems this "ethical dilemma" is a US or Western-centric 1st world problem.
