“Great Cheese comes from Happy Cows. Happy Cows come from California.” A statement heard and seen on multiple advertisements, from commercials, to print.
It is this statement that sets in motion a lawsuit between People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) and the California Milk Producers Advisory Board (CMAB). PETA is a group who fights for animal rights through public education. CMAB is a food department whose goal is to promote California milk and the use of dairy products. These two groups, state their facts backing up their sides in order to defend their actions. PETA filed their complaint in 2002, stating their reasons for taking action against CMAB. The first reason is for their false and deceiving advertising plan know as the “Happy Cows” campaign, which goes against the California

A principal, which in this case is the California Department of Food and Agriculture (CDFA). The agent, CMAB, who works under their principal and consents to do the work of the CDFA. The Milk Board follows through on any of the CFDA 's wishes and jobs to help promote the use of California produce. All of these things add together to create a fiduciary relationship with high standards and helps each group benefit. There are many aspects to having this kind of relationship which includes many confidential aspects of the business done, conflict between the principal and agent, and also the duty to follow the principal 's wishes, even if it conflicts with the agents. I feel like the fact that the Milk Board was intermixed in with the California Government helped CMAB win their case against PETA. The California Unfair Business Act excluded government business such as the CMAB which could have easily been possible with lobbying. I think PETA should have won this case, however CMAB was able to evade the lawsuit with their interactions within the California
The modern fight for animal rights has been geared toward factory farms and the removal of animal testing and ag-gag laws. Protection for test animals and farm animals has become an important focus for many animal rights groups including ASPCA. The end of uncomfortable and inhumane treatment of animals is still a fight thousands are fighting
The campaign against Whole Foods and Chipotle for allowing factory farm to continue that killing of animals is what ‘Direct Action Everywhere’ is fighting against to inform the general population that there is an issue with “humanely” killing animals for consumption. Direct Action Everywhere’s is an organization whose “mission is to empower activists to take strong and confident action wherever animas are being denigrated, enslaved, or killed, and create a world where animals liberation is a reality.”
PETA is arguably the largest animals’ rights organization in the world with more than 5 million members and supporters. They go further to say they are against the use of animals in food, clothing, research, and entertainment industries and claim to spread their message through public education, cruelty investigations, research, animal rescue, legislation, special events, celebrity involvement, and protest campaigns. This is all according to their website of course; however, a deeper look reveals another meaning filled with hypocrisy, deceit, terror, and greed.
In 2008, Prop 2 in California was supported by groups such as the HSUS and other groups. Prop 2 has enforced “… Packer/processors, grain producers, suppliers and those in the business of selling food, must recognize this, the organization focuses on different types of animals, such as: dolphins, whales, cats and dogs (Lovvorn & Perry, 2009).” Prop 2 was a law concerning animal holdings. It declared that animal holdings, such as cages, must be large enough for the animals to have room to extend their legs, move around, and not be cramped.. The Humane Society of United States and PETA supported the organizations to inform the people on the sidelines about the different tactics one could take to save the animals. The Humane Society of United States used the ability to spy as a tactic. Therefore the organization used a small pen sized video camera. In the The Barnyard Strategist, “The HSUS released the video in San Bernardino County, district attorney, the story made national headlines.” This can be related to the movie we watched in class “The Cove,” in which a group of men broke into a slaughterhouse of dolphins and whales to catch the ones who were slaughtering the animals. They did not know about the cameras. This helped provide footage to show how the animals were actually treated. The HSUS used merging different organizations such as the smaller animal welfare groups together, this was able to help the organization increase their money to help the company be able to inform others about animal abuse. Pacelle’s strategy consisted of creating a ballot measure that will allow those who are vegetarian and vegan to help reform the ballots. They use media to help get their point across by using a male who is vegetarian who strokes...
This theme song to a popular cartoon is a farce dealing with experiments carried out on animals. In the cartoon one mouse is made very smart and wants to take over the world while the other is clearly not as smart. While the cartoon makes jokes, the reality is that mice and other animals re being used for medical tests every day. For some people this testing brings up ethical questions. One of the biggest questions: is it really necessary to take the lives of animals in the name of science and for the betterment of humanity? For animal rights activists, like People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), the answer is no. PETA pressures labs into halting experiments because they believe that animals are not to be used by humans for "food, clothing, entertainment, or to experiment on" (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals 1). Its stance is that any testing is painful, inhumane, and unnecessary when alternatives are available. The PETA website says that "animals, like humans, have interests that cannot be sacrificed or traded away simply because it might benefit others." (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals 2-3). Essentially, PETA is of the opinion that animals and humans should have identical rights. In their press releases PETA puts out pictures of rabbits with open flesh wounds and dogs with rashes on their skins--all in an attempt to disgust people into sympathy for their cause. In actuality the number of lab animals used has been cut in half in the last 25 years (James-Enger 254). Of the animals used, 90 percent are rats and mice (James-Enger 1). Moreover, 11 million animals die each year in animal shelters (Americans for Medical Progress 2) and an astounding 95 percent ...
The idea of pasteurizing milk bagan in the 1920s, and later became an aspect of everyday life in the 1950s. Milk that has undergone this process is normally prefered since it is sterilized, therefore lowering the chance of human illness. However, it’s not the 1950s anymore, and the idea of pasteurizing milk has lost its luster for the people that now prefer raw milk. Unlike the milk that most Americans consume, raw milk has not been pasteurized, or quickly heated to a high temperature to kill harmful bacteria. In raw milk, these bacterias haven’t been removed, leaving people at risk. E. Coli, salmonella, and listeria are only some of the bacteria that raw milk carries, all of which can cause sickness, or even death. Common affects of consuming raw milk are diarrhea, stomach cramping, and vomiting, but it's the rare ones: kidney failure,paralysis, and death that causes raw milk to be illegal in half of the states and illegal to carry over state lines in its final form. Nevertheless, people still actively seek out and consume raw milk because they believe its nutritional values to be greater. Controversies surround this topic on whether organic food
PETA states that, since before the 1920’s there has been animal experimentation. Not until President Lyndon Johnson signed the Laboratory Animal Welfare Act (LAWA) in 1966, animals in the United States had no protection in laboratories, circuses, and zoos over breeding, transportation, housing, feeding, and veterinary care. The LAWA is now called the Animal Welfare Act (AWA). (Williams, and DeMello)
In conclusion, the ASPCA is a significant, charitable organization that has taken a powerful stance towards anti-cruelty of all animals. Dating back to the 1860's and continuing to thrive today with new programs that reach out to community leaders, businesses, and lawmakers, all for the abandonment of cruel actions towards animals. Accolades to Henry Bergh for his diligence towards establishing laws to protect animals against violence, and more importantly for raising awareness of animal abuse, and the misuse of breeding. The ASPCA is a worthy cause, and its mission is valuable to all animal lovers in our nation.
11. 2010: Utah passes law that government-run shelters don’t have to sell animals to labs, after PETA does undercover investigation at University of Utah.
What agency is part of two parties in which is under control obligated to other principals.What FDA does it responsible for protecting the public health and it protects us from electronic product radiation. It protects public health by assuring that foods except for meat from livestock,poultry and some eggs products. I would probably listen to this law because it knows what it's doing and knows if food are bad or not.
If you compare Today's average morning temperature to that when you were in Primary School, have you noticed the increase in heat? I have. I remember back a decade, myself and others shivering when walking up the school gates before 9 o’clock, Jacket a compulsory. I remember looking at the thermometer in my Dad's car, the temperature just above zero. All of us have heard about Climate Change around the world, from either, the silent predator that will lead to be the greatest threat to our children, our grandchildren, Apparently. To be quite frank, I’ve noticed the temperature to be increasing, which has led to me not needing a large jacket in the morning. All thanks to Global Warming and Climate Change. Not a predator, but an
A large amount of information relating to animal rights disseminates from the many websites PETA is associated with. These websites are a key factor to attract supporters and publish information that will help advance its activism. These two PETA websites that were very useful for researching this paper are www.peta.org and www.furisdead.com. These websites ...
In the future Petsmart and Petco will get what they deserve for what they are doing to their animals, and for sticking behind the abuse of innocent pets. It is sad to see these companies not caring for the animals that they are supposed to be taking care of. Not only has PETA (the People
Doesn’t it kill you to see a movie and see an animal get killed or just hurt in it? Good thing that’s all special effects. Back in the day, around 1966, movies didn’t always use special effects. Khartoum, a movie based on a holy war in the Sudan desert, directed by Basil Dearden and Eliot Elisofon, used horses a great deal, but did not use the special effects in order to not hurt the animals. Many horses died in the making of this movie, as well as others, even including a major hit, Ben-Hur. Today, there are many activist groups that fight for and about the unfair treatment and protection for animals in everyday life. The People for Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) is one of these groups. PETA was founded in 1980, and since then has been working on getting the point across to the public that animals “are not ours to eat, wear, experiment on, or use for entertainment.” (PETA: Official Page). PETA also focuses on educating policymakers and the public about the abuse of animals and making it known that animals deserve the right to be treated with respect.
The milk industry has created several reasons why we need our daily dose of milk. We've heard some of these for so many years now that they have become part of our thinking. It's time to examine the myths, lies and propaganda about cow's milk.
