Calif justices decline 'happy cow' lawsuit Wednesday, April 20, 2005 (04-20) 18:39 PDT San Francisco (AP) -- The California Supreme Court is putting to pasture a lawsuit brought by an animal rights group alleging the California Milk Producers Advisory Board is falsely advertising that California's cows are happy. People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals sued here in December 2002 alleging the board's advertising was false and misleading. The ads show cows grazing in green pastures with the slogan, "Great cheese comes from happy cows. Happy cows come from California." The animal rights group said it may never be known whether cows are happy, but said cows live in deplorable conditions, are repeatedly milked and impregnated before being slaughtered. An appeals court in January ruled that Milk Producers Advisory Board, funded by farmers, is immune from being sued under false-advertising laws, just like other state agencies. PETA says the ads falsely portray the lives of California cows. The group asked the Supreme Court to review that decision, but the court declined without comment Wednesday. "False advertising is no less harmful when it comes from government-run businesses," said Matthew Penzer, the attorney for PETA in the lawsuit. "Painting a 'happy' image of an industry that sends 400,000 cows to slaughter every year and their calves to the isolation of veal crates is deceptive, no less so because it is the government doing the deceiving." The case is People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals v. California Milk Producers Advisory Board, S131823. -- If Ward Churchill can be a college professor, what's David Duke waiting for? - Coulter So it would not be a false claim that the PETA- minded ilk would lead a happy live in India ?

You just have to drive by the smelly cow feed lot by Highway 5 in California and have a look to know that the animals are mistreated. I don't know if these cows are meat or dairy--the dairy cows may be better treated. Still PETA fighting legally with farm industry is stacked against PETA though they did recently win a lawsuit against Petco. Adam Adam PETA needs to stop wasting taxpayers dollars to argue about whether or not a cow is HAPPY. all this makes me VERY ANGRY so can i sue PETA for pissing me off cause im not happy >>Calif justices decline 'happy cow' lawsuit >> [quoted text clipped - 45 lines] > > Adam So you have personally interviewed the cows to determine their state of happiness?

Of course not. They rail against drugs and drug users publicly, then toke up privately. Like Limbaugh calling for druggies to be sent up the river, meanwhile being a junkie hopped up on illegally-obtained massive-strength opiates. That's part of the hypocrisy and self-loathing that characterizes conservatives, allowing the fundamentalist Christians to do everything Jesus wouldn't do, keeping brain-dead Terri Schiavo alive while lauding the killings of thousands of innocents in Iraq, the Ann Coulters telling us that women should never have been granted the vote because they're all dumb whores, and the closeted gay married Republicans bashing homosexuals and gay marriage. > They rail against drugs and drug users publicly, then toke up privately. Ummm, I don't do either. How many liberals do you know that can honestly say the same? > That's part of the hypocrisy and self-loathing that characterizes > conservatives . . . No, no, we don't hate ourselves. If we did, there wouldn't be so many of us. We're the ones with the guns. It's liberals we don't much care for, but we understand we aren't allowed to shoot them. We're just not sure why. > . . . allowing the fundamentalist Christians to do everything Jesus > wouldn't do. . . This from sombody who not only isn't a Christian, but is half a part of the group that killed Christ. > . . . keeping brain-dead Terri Schiavo alive . . . That clearly wasn't conservatives. As far as I know, every conservative on this group favored letting her go. So did true Christians. Let God's will be done. > while lauding the killings of thousands of innocents in Iraq . . . Thousands of innocents? You counted? You can tell innocent from not? > . . . the Ann Coulters telling us that women should never have been > granted the vote because they're all dumb > whores, and the closeted gay married Republicans bashing homosexuals and > gay marriage. Glad I'm not a Rupublican. I don't think I'd like to be gay. On the other hand, I don't think I've done a lot of gay bashing either.

I don't know of any liberals that can do that, once again showing that cows are nearly (not quite) as stupid as liberals. :-) > Did you know that cows can sort out more than 20 different weeds, and > use them accordingly to fight intestinal turbulences? > How does that compare with liberals?

I'm glad PETA spent their (your) money wisely to combat this. I think you should donate a lot more. -- If Ward Churchill can be a college professor, what's David Duke waiting for? - Coulter > I think you should donate a lot more. Better PETA than the NRA. They're wise to me now. Their latest communique came in a plain envelope with a sole return address of "CARDMEMBER SERVICES". In other words, the exact same packaging as a new or renewal credit card, which I'd be sure to open. Fortunately they still include the handy-dandy postage-paid envelopes. -- If Ward Churchill can be a college professor, what's David Duke waiting for? - Coulter > > I think you should donate a lot more. > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > credit card, which I'd be sure to open.

Adam > Although I sympathize with PETA I don't donate to them.

Never would have guessed. > Although I sympathize with PETA I don't donate to them.

Now they're putting farm animals on the dole. -- If Ward Churchill can be a college professor, what's David Duke waiting for? - Coulter Uh... this is a dive related website... right? So, how are you going to feel when PETA decides that SCUBA diving is an invasion on the happiness and well-being of all those poor sea creatures? It can't be long before they try to ban diving... can it? I suppose spearfishing will be first, and then all diving, boating and other water sports. We'd better stop commercial shipping and Naval activity, too. Airplanes are bad for birds and cars are definately not good for Opossums. I suppose the best thing for the animals would be for us to just shut down the modern world and sit at home munching alfalfa. Although, eating food that the animals could be eating instead would be a cruelty beyond all reason, so I think we'd better just plan on rolling up shop on the human race. But then, who'd be left to protect the animals from each other? Oh god, I don't think I can take it! Regards, Jack |
