PETA Sucks Hind Teat

The 2 year battle between PETA and the California Milk Producers has concluded and PETA got sheared.

The radical organization last week failed in its two-year attempt to have the popular "Happy Cows" ads taken off the tube.

he award-winning campaign is sponsored by a state agency, the California Milk Producers Advisory Board, which credits the ads for record-level sales of California cheese and boasts two billion pounds of production last year. But PETA contended that the ads' tag line, "Great cheese comes from happy cows. Happy cows come from California, was, well, bull.

I'm no agricultural expert, but while PETA charges that most California cows are treated terribly, the ones I see are just like their counterparts in the commercials. On regular drives from the Monterey Peninsula to Southern California and back along Highway 101, I observe mile after mile of lush pastureland inhabited by cows that look much happier lazing in a field than I am navigating through traffic.

Silly, frivolous lawsuit over 2 years probably costing the taxpayer 100s of 1000s of dollars. Another glaring example of why we need to adopt the British system and have the loser of this type of judicial circus pay the court costs.
