Seems PETA lost one.

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.

If they can't be sued, they can't be sued. The court upheld the law without ever getting to the real argument.

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.

It claims that California cows live in feces-soaked dirt lots devoid of vegetation

Hey, they've got it better than some college kids. Have you seen those roach-infested, filthy cubbyholes that serve as dorms? Yeeesh.

Hmmm. I don't know about this one.

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. :-)

I live in California's San Joaquin Valley and I drive past what we call "Cow Hell" all the time, and I must say it's not how I'd like to live my life. But I'm not a cow either!

[marty60]

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.

[steplock]

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.

[Prime Choice]

Please tell me that PETA got stuck having to pay the lawyer bills for the defense. Please, oh pretty please!

[tallhappy]

Is that April Winchell as one of the cows?

PETA loses = always a good start to any day...

hmm... A Kavorkian style assisted suicide perhaps?

"I have a few cows w/calves. They are very happy, indeed spoiled. But the calves are beef..."

Grass fed, I hope. As you know, grass fed produces much healthier-to-eat steak than grain fed. My beefalo are grazed. Happy too! They have a really nasty moo for the PETA types.

Got a male calf for my birthday years back from my wife (ex wife now). Took the thing to the field and let him out. The horses chased him and he jumps the fence. Took me forever to get him back. Can't believe that my ex-wife gave me a bum steer.

California cows actually lead harsh lives in grubby fields before being slaughtered.

Someone in NY needs to send a senator on a fact-finding mission.
