Have to be honest, I snared this from the DU site. I think it'll be interesting to compare FReeper reaction to the DUers.
BTW, I have a few cows w/calves. They are very happy, indeed spoiled. But the calves are beef, not dairy.
That's what courts are supposed to do. Follow the law, instead of making a new one up.
People actually get paid for being morons, and the tax payer pays for some of these bogus lawsuits.
Now, if they had shown a ad, featuring Barbara Boxer and Maxine Waters, along with the slogan, they would have had a case.
The liberal freaks of this country will try to get away with anything, especially in the courts, hoping for an activist liberal judge that will attempt to re-write legislation on the bench, and rule in their favor, even though that judge would face being dis-barred, and stiff penalties.
But the libs don't care about the law -- it is an OBSTACLE for them.
Bad case of jaundice and bizarre birthmarks. But a pretty nice outfit.
On the one hand, I think PETA are full of bullsh*t (no pun untended), and I thoroughly enjoy watching them get a beating in the courts. I'd like to see them countersued one day and udderly (pun fully intended) ruined.
On the other hand, I also do not agree that government agencies are exempt from truth in advertising laws. It opens up too big a hole for liberal propaganda.
PETA lost this one for the wrong reason. Their case could not have stood on its own merits. How can PETA prove the mental state of an animal and whether or not it's happy or not?
Moo!
I love those commercials. :-)
those commercials are totally funny.......only PETA could extract some type of devastating effect from them. I think they need to laugh more to reduce their stress levels so they need to watch more of these.
Since I grew up on a dairy farm, I think I have a lot more experience with cows than anybody at PETA does, collectively. I base my knowledge on practical, hands-on experience, not pictures and propaganda.
1) Cows must be kept as clean as possible. This prevents infections in their udders, and makes cleaning them off before milking a lot easier.
2) While some cows are kept in feedlots (on concrete, not dirt! Hard to scrape "feces" from dirt...), most are pastured. Why? Grass is free, simple enough.
Ditto - love the one where the cows keep ringing the farmers doorbell!!!!!!!!!
Ok PETA is officially insane. Maybe a human would find living in a field a problem, and when it rains, yes a soggy field. But to apply human attributes to a cow is insane.
I agree with your stand. I think any law that applies to the hoi polloi should apply to some greater extent, say from 125% to 200% depending upon the specific law in question, to the government. First of all, we are supposed to be the masters, they, the servants. Secondly, it would be a fine deterrent from them passing laws that make life difficult for the productive sector of society.
The real CRIME commited was by the criminal(describing the lawyer) lawyer who took this into court and by the eactivist leftist judge who accept this farce to begin with and then the next layer of idiot judges who did not simply disbar(?)... disrobe (?)... hell with it - let's just DISMANTLE these judges and the lawyer minions and get this country back to sanity, morality, and honor.
