Empiree:
They rely on certain ahadith (Al-Bukhaari (4101) and Muslim (2039) where nabi(sa) and a companion(ra) ate young goat. But there seems to be condition to that. Although generally, there is no age limit of animal we eat. I personally would not eat vile (baby) animal talkless of newborn. But in this context, it is about Udhiya, there is age in animal we choose for qurbani.

Under the heading which this baby animal is cited, is under defected animal not eligible for Udhiya. So what's the point of slaughtering the baby since mother is considered defective and needs to care for her baby?.

Well, it is fiqh issue of certain people. It is not binding. Spare the baby and let it grow. There are other options. These ahadith seem to refute slaughtering baby animal for "sacrifice" (eran ileya) al-Bukhaari (5556) and Muslim (1961)

I believe the rules of Islam are fair and just. And I believe there has to be a proper explanation for this.
Islamic morals supercedes every other cultures'. So I find it surprising that it's permissible to kill a premature baby animal for consumption that ordinarily most customs would despise. Allahu a'alam

Yup. Actually in many Western supermarkets, they do have young beef meat. But consumers generally dont care bcus they dont witness slaughterings. I have worked with many White folks who buy baby beef. Dont mind so called animal right activities. Besides, it is just ruling. I general detest eating any baby animal especially if i am a witness to their slaughterings.

Fact remains that baby animals especially newborns are not eligible for Qurbani
