PETA's latest campaign...make ice cream from human breast milk

[RICHARD]

Thanks for the laughs, I have needed them!!

[Medusa]

Thanx Candace and you, too, Richard. I needed a chuckle right about now.

Why even post this here? You know how most of us feel about PETA.

I'm glad you didn't say ALL of us because even though I am not a PETA
member, I do at least listen to any idea to improve the lives of animals.

This "breast milk" idea is ridiculous & it seems PETA is getting an earful
from some of it's members & others who think it's a stupid idea. I did
check their online blog & read quite a few comments on this idea that
originally was meant to show the sad, cruel life of milk cows. I won't
provide a link here, but it's easily accessed on the internet.

I'm so thankful I have a milk allergy and don't touch the stuff!!!

Why Madonna failed at her first job?

She didn't know that you are supposed to serve cones, not wear them.

She kept asking, Cake, waffle or nylon?

She made up her own flavors, "Like a Virgin Vanilla"?

"Borderline Berry"?

No on the sprinkles, put your arms down!'

MOFF,
Moosmom is offering Popsicles.....Don't eat those either!

Have you ever been on a boat or streamside when a catch is made?


"Look at the FN fish I caught!"
or

DID YOU see the size of that FN fish?
or

"I didn't catch any FN fish today"!



The defense rests, your honor!

This is why YOU rule PT! These are great! I can't even say what I think of those idiots here because I'd be banned.

Lizbud - I saw the point about cow's milk, buried in the article.

PETA must know how the media run with their stories...perhaps they could have presented this in a better way? They were plain dumb to think that the "human milk ice cream" would not completely bury the more serious point they were raising.

Their PR team needs to have a brain in there as well as passion (and whatever other ingredients may fester within it).

PETA wrote a letter to company founders Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield on Tuesday, telling them cow's milk is hazardous and that milking them is cruel.

This part is so typically overboard PeTA. The milking process isn't cruel at all - on farms I've visited, the cows run willingly down to the milking shed in the morning to be milked. There is also no shame in utilising an animal product, unless it harms the animal, which is my belief as a strict vegetarian. If I for one second thought cows suffered as a result of being milked, then I would avoid milk completely.

What PeTA should have done was address to Ben and Jerry's that it is the conditions in which some dairy cows are kept in which are cruel, instead of suggesting such a ludicrous idea to use human breast milk in their product. Had they done this, then maybe people would listen to them. They should have promoted farms which treat their livestock with kindness, rather than make up stupid suggestions that milk is slowly killing us all, and asked Ben and Jerry's, as well as other companies who use dairy products, to boycott farms which keep animals in cramped conditions and pump them full of gawd-knows-what and generally are making the animals' lives miserable. This would have been so much more effective, and if the businesses had taken note, led to better living conditions for animals as trade would have begun to favour the kinder farms. Yet, as it is, PeTA have once again just humiliated animal-lovers everywhere and gotten nowhere.

Thank you for keeping us A BREAST on the treatment of farm cows.

I heard about a farm that will automatically milk cows! How? They have stalls the are computer operated that will be able to hook the cow up to the milking machines and get the milk with no hooman hadns involved! The cows will put themselves into the stalls!

I thought that was a neat idea and amazed that the cows were smart enough to get themselves milked!

There were a couple of you that mentioned if only Peta had handled things better/differently.

Apparently they don't want to and will go out of their way to be outrageous on purpose as part of their mission.

Our gimmicks may sometimes seem silly, but they are vital if we are to reach the masses and initiate discussion, debate, questioning of the status quo, and, of course, action. The current situation is critical for billions of animals, and our goal is to make the public aware of the issues—even if it means stripping for our "I'd Rather Go Naked Than Wear Fur" Campaign.

The fact is that in this tabloid era, the media usually do not consider the facts alone interesting enough to cover. Colorful and controversial gimmicks, however—such as jumping on stage at a fashion show to protest a designer's shameless promotion of fur—consistently grab headlines, bringing the animal rights message to audiences around the country and often the world.

Experience has taught us that provocative and controversial campaigns make the difference between keeping important yet depressing subjects invisible and exposing them to the public.

PETA makes a point of offering something for all tastes-from the most conservative to the most radical and from the most outrageous to the most refined-and this approach has proved to be very successful. In the quarter-century since PETA was founded, it has grown into the largest animal rights group in the world, with more than 2.0 million members and supporters worldwide. PETA has achieved countless victories for animals as a result of both undercover investigations supported by careful documentation and a tireless pursuit of justice through the courts and through colorful demonstrations, stunts, and campaigns that drew international media coverage to previously hidden issues.


Seems to me every time people get into a debate, conversation, or whatever it's just giving Peta what they want.
