From the comments at the original post:
- Yes, the fetal calves are removed from pregnant cows at the time of slaughter. However, these calves are considered to be byproducts of the meat industry -- they would be just as dead even if their blood was not collected. If you eat meat or milk and milk products from cows then you support this system.
- The calves are hypoxic by the time the blood is collected, and are not aware at the time of collection (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16032283 )
- Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA) found in steak is the exact same molecule as BSA from fetal calf serum.
