Animal science vs. Biology

I am applying to undergrad schools currently and can’t decide to major in animal science or biology (or biology with a zoology intent). I was initially interesting in animal science because I thought that would give me more hands on experience with animals, but I’m really not interesting in learning about things like meat production/packaging and things of that nature. I’m a vegetarian and those things will definitely not be enjoyable for me to learn about. As an animal science major do you have to learn about these aspects? Should I major in one of the biological science instead?
I know you don’t have to major in these things to get into veterinary schools, but these majors would be what I would major in even if I wasn’t interested in becoming a veterinarian.
