    The state's high court just threw out a case from PETA who claimed that California Cows are not happy (Per the TV ad's). When are these PETA whacko's going to go away and get real jobs and contribute to our society?

    The last time we heard about People for the Ethical Treatment's lawsuit against the California Milk Producer Advisory Board over that organizations "Happy Cows" advertising campaign, San Francisco Superior Court Judge David Garcia had dismissed the case. Garcia narrowly ruled that the advisory board was protected by sovereign immunity from such lawsuits.

    PETA, you might remember, claims that California cows really are not happy, and that claiming they are in ads violates California's state truth-in-advertising laws.

    But PETA insisted on appealing Garcia's ruling, and this month a Court of Appeal Panel in San Francisco agreed with Garcia, citing precedents including lawsuits dismissed against a University of California Hospital and the state's Lottery Commission in dismissing the lawsuit.

    Instead of filing a lawsuit, the court ruled that PETA has to file a complaint with the state director of Food and Agriculture who is empowered to decide whether or not to hold a hearing about the matter and whether the issue can be forwarded to a district attorney or state attorney general for prosecution.

    No word yet on whether PETA will appeal the latest ruling, but don't be surprised if they do.

    Who cares? They are tasty and yummy? PITA and NOW should join forces to form a dating service and breed themselves out of the gene pool. (the shallow end of course)

    I was brought up to believe that PETA always stood for People Eating Tasty Animals?? I've never had a chicken sandwich or hamburger say it hurt when I bit into it!

    PETA are a bunch of morons.

    But then again, you can't really trust me since I am a bit biased. I do animal research...

    I once asked a cow what he thought. Thats exactly what he said; "Moooow".

    Never understood exactly what he meant by that. He was pretty tasty however.

    One of the books in the Hitchikers Guide to the Galaxy Series (I think it was the Restaurant at the end of the Universe) has this specially bred cow that wanted to be eaten. I remember it was a pretty funny part of the book.
