| I think PETA does bring to light a lot of important issues that we would never know about otherwise (I've never been on a dairy farm or on a pig or chicken farm, so I would never know how they are treated unless someone took the time to take photos and vidoes and make the public aware of it) but I also think they go about it in a weird way. Like I remember reading a while ago about an anti-abortion place that mailed to hundreds of random people a plastic mini baby fetus (the size it would be in your body when you abort it) and a lot of people were really upset by that. In fact, a lot of the people they mailed it to were against abortions but they still thought it was disgusting and inappropriate. So while I think PETA really does have the animals best interest at heart, they should go about their business in a little better way and maybe if they did, people would take them more seriously. It's not good when people think your organization is crazy or full of nut jobs.

| Think of all the crack heads and other malnurished shady lady's who would sell their milk. Would they test these women first and would all the testing make the ice-cream much more expensive. If they don't want to use cow milk anymore, they should look into useing Rice Dream rice drink enriched with vitamins A,D, B12 & calcium. It comes in vanilla and chocolate and is just totally delicious. I even blend babanas and blueberry's with it. YUMMY!!!

Donating YT 10K Club Member | Regardless that it's absurd ...the campaign is a success...we are discussing it. I do notice Peta targeted Ben and Jerry's....and not the National Diary Farmer's Association.

Donating YT 1000 Club Member | Peta sucks PETA officials say a move to human breast milk would lessen the suffering of dairy cows and their babies on factory farms and benefit human health. An example of good money down the toilet.. all who support PETA they suck the milk themselves..

| Wow. Let me ask something. If humans did not consume other mammals, how long do you think it would take for the US to be a giant waste zone overrun with animals? How is animal population controlled? What I disagree with is treating a living being harshly or hurting them for no reason, just to save money or think its funny or taking out your aggression (workers who purposely hurt the animals). These are still living animals that FEEL pain. I think the health problems in our country come from fast food and overprocessed food. While human milk MAY have more health benefits, the stigma attached to that whole idea would put companies out of business. We, as a whole society, are used to cows milk (not ALL of us, but a majority). I know, mentality wise, I couldn't drink human milk. I am an adult, not a baby. So I wouldn't buy B&Js again. JMHO!

If Ben & Jerry's wants to stop using cow's milk, then they should use Rice Dream but please do not use a woman's milk!! Like another poster said, what about crack heads and people who do drugs or have STD's or something? Are they going to do blood tests and other tests to make sure these milk donors are safe? That would be a big waste of money and I still would not feel comfortable with that.

Donating YT 10K Club Member | I've always pondered what would cause the first person to grab a cow's udder...to think...let's taste whatever comes out. I'm thinking it was a man.

Furbutts = LOVE Donating Member Moderator | I always wondered that too and I think I read the "why/how" once and have since forgotten. Like, was a calf drinking and some dude thought maybe I'll just.....

| Listen, everyone. PETA gets their point across by making outlandish statements. They know that Ben and Jerry's won't use human breast milk in ice cream. Their goal was to get people to discuss the treatment of dairy cows, which they consider to be cruel. And by the looks of the discussion on this thread, they have succeeeded. I know PETA goes about their mission in ways that many consider crazy, but it works. They are very smart. |
