PETH vs. PETA

First, Barth, I <3>Second, just because PETA is a little crazy, doesn't mean that they are wrong all the time.

Okay, so here is an article about PETA and a NEW! idea they have for Ben and Jerry's ice cream.

Wouldn't it be a good idea to replace the cow milk for human breast milk??  I mean, come on, the cows are impregnated and treated horribly, etc.

All I have to say is this.  I want to start either one of the following organizations.  PETH (People for the Ethical Treatment of Humans) or PPP (People for Protection Against PETA).

Yes, cows are treated horribly.  So are ants dammit.  Cows are one of the dumbest creatures ever.  And some dairy farmers actually keep their cows even if they are past producing milk and they live long, luxurious lifestyles til they die from natural causes.

Also, think about all the dairy farmers that are struggling as it is.  I know at least 3 dairy farmers who still have their farms and are still trying to produce enough to make it.  What happens to them if everyone starts using human milk?

Human milk is very valuable.  Hospitals all over ask for milk donations for kids who cannot function without it because they are born really really sickly, and their mothers can't produce it.  Why doesn't PETA try to get people to donate to them?  I mean, humans are more valuable than cows, correct?  Well, at least they are in my opinion.

And I love this quote "Dairy products have been linked to juvenile diabetes, allergies, constipation, obesity, and prostate and ovarian cancer. "  This is some sort of fallacy in logic.  And how is constipation even in the list of these horrible diseases?

Okay, there are like a billion other things I have to say about this article (like the impossibility of this in the business world because no one gives a shit about a cow but PETA and no one wants to eat other's breast milk - at least not yet, til it becomes cool, like being "green" and drinking out of non-nalgene bottles) but I'm not going to. :)

Have a wonderful day.

And remember, if you ever see cows gathering under a tree or in the middle of a treeless field, it means that its going to rain.  Its about the only thing they can predict.
