So did anyone else hear about the letter PETA wrote to Ben and Jerry's ice cream company? Totally ridiculous. The letter asked the company to use HUMAN breast milk instead of cow's milk in its ice cream.
I love cows as much as the next person, but this is a little extreme. In a press release, PETA makes the claim that dairy cows are horribly abused and the milking process is unnatural and painful. However, they neglect to provide any concrete facts or eye witness accounts of this abuse. It seems to me that PETA just likes news coverage and aims to shock the public into donating money.
I don't know about you, but I definitely prefer my Ben and Jerry's with cow's milk.

I've occasionally heard of PETA taking up radical stances but you're right, this could only be inflammatory! Particularly attacking ice cream. People have some pretty entrenched feelings on that sort of thing. General consensus: ice cream = good. One thing I wonder, do you think they realize how much they alienate their cause?
Honestly, half of the time I don't even think they know what planet they're on. I really think PETA gives animal rights supporters a bad name- they make them all look crazy!
