This was on our local news last night: letter from PETA It seems PETA thinks that we should be using human milk instead of milk from cows to make ice cream. OH. MY. GOD.

I saw this story this morning. These people are freaks.
And you know, they probably thought they had a sympathetic audience in Ben & Jerry's, who make you swallow their "PC-ness" along with their ice cream. Peace, love, and breast milk. Groovy.

Yeah, welcome to Vermont. Ben and Jerry have been successful here, where they started, because their values reflect those of the state in general. But even so, they were NOT receptive to this icky proposal.
Even the news anchors were chuckling when this story ran on TV last night. They interviewed people on Church Street to get their opinion and it was unanimous: EEEWWW.
Even in an open-minded, liberal state like Vermont, they were laughed at.
It WAS a joke, Randy, in that it was crazy enough to be funny.
LOL...I think dairy cows everywhere would fight PETA over this one. They are more than ready to be milked when their udders are about to explode. I would rather eat Ben & Jerry's ice cream than watch cows explode any day.
Like all mammals, cows only produce milk during and after pregnancy, so to be able to constantly milk them, cows are forcefully impregnated every nine months.
Because male calves can't produce milk, dairy farmers take them from their mothers immediately after birth...
Because the gestation period (pregnancy) is nine months, this means that the cow needs to be mated three months after she had her last calf. The cow continues to produce milk throughout most of her pregnancy until about three months before she is due to calve when she is ‘dried off’ i.e. the farmer stops milking her.
That translates to one calf a year.
And males and female calves are all removed from the cows and raised separately.
And where do they come up up with this "forcefully impregnated" crap????? If a cow is in heat she can be successfully bred, if she is not in heat the farmer is wasting his time, his OB gloves and expensive bull semen and the cows really don't care. If we are talking about a small dairy where the bull actually does the impregnating he won't "forcefully impregnate" the cows either.
This reminds me of a picture I saw of PETA idiots in New York protesting Bt corn, several of them were dressed in their butterfly suits, and one of them had his butterfly upside down. If they aren't smart enough to get a butterfly (or cow gestation/reproduction) right I don't think they should be telling anyone how to take care of their animals.
And I wonder how many PETA moms make ice cream from their own milk? I bet they don't milk so well on a vegan diet.

For those of us that make our ice cream at home, this would require a very patient spouse......
