{{US Veal Crate Ban Map}}
In 2007, the American Veal Association passed a resolution encouraging the entire industry to phase out tethered crate-confinement of calves by 2017, a goal that was met by all milk-fed veal farmers.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.humanesociety.org/issues/confinement_farm/timelines/timeline_farm_animal_protection.html|title=Timeline of Major Farm Animal Protection Advancements|date=8 September 2014|access-date=7 March 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150303041251/http://www.humanesociety.org/issues/confinement_farm/timelines/timeline_farm_animal_protection.html|archive-date=3 March 2015|url-status=dead}}</ref><ref name="vealfarmQA" />

{{As of|2015}}, eight U.S. states ban tethering of calves in veal crates. Nationally, several large veal producers and the American Veal Association are also working to phase out the industry use of tethered veal crates. {{As of|2017}}, all American Veal Association members are raising calves in tether-free pens and all veal calves are housed in group pens by the time they are 10 weeks of age.

State-by-state veal crate bans are as follows:<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.humanesociety.org/issues/confinement_farm/facts/veal.html|title=Veal Crates: Unnecessary and Cruel|date=22 February 2013|access-date=7 March 2015|archive-date=February 28, 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150228175738/http://www.humanesociety.org/issues/confinement_farm/facts/veal.html|url-status=dead}}</ref>
