Got Pus? Milk Does!
You must know that in addition to being disgusting to think about or look at, you would never want to drink a cup filled with pus-containing liquid, right?
Well guess what? If you are drinking cow's milk, chances are you are drinking pus cells! Sick! Cows' udders often get so sore and infected that they start leaking pus cells into milk! Imagine how painful that is for each cow? I bet pus swimming around in your belly doesn't sound so appetizing, either.
So why am I bringing this up now, you might be wondering? Well, it's not just so you spare Santa and the cows the suffering which comes from dunking some cookies into glasses of milk that may contain pus.
I'm bringing this up because PETA recently got a really not-so-friendly letter from some lawyers who get paid by the California Milk Producers Board. You can read it here, but basically it says that they don't like us using the Got Pus? campaign. Boo hoo! Apparently our GotPus.com site makes them sad. Again, boo hoo for the big companies who are upset that people will be informed about the cruelty their products support.
Anyway, our response, which you can read here, basically tells them that we're fully within our rights to speak the truth about the gross stuff that is in dairy (like pus) and the terrible things cows' milk does to human beings (Got Zits?, Got Cancer?). Of course, we also want people to learn about what's wrong with dairy in the way it's responsible for cruelty to animals in the form of veal calves, sad mother cows who miss their babies and often live in filthy conditions, and all kinds of terrible things like that.
If you're as excited as I am that this dairy group is pissed off at PETA, you might want to check out the merchandise which has made them especially irritated. Feel free to buy some stuff to spite them. We also have a peta2 Cafe Press store which features lots more fun shirts and other merch.
So while the dairy group tries to think of another way to harass kind-hearted people, I hope you'll all take a minute to laugh at them and read a bit about how you can help cows.
