Stills from underdcover footage filmed by the Animal Justice Project at Oaklands Livestock Centre in Shropshire
The male calves, which have little commercial value, were collected from dairy farms in the Midlands and taken to Oaklands Livestock Centre, near Prees, where the images were filmed.
The Animal Justice Project, which filmed the footage, said the video shows the animals being beaten and, sometimes, deprived of food and water for long periods.
