From the TMZ website:

PETA has sent a letter to the co-founders of Ben & Jerry’s Ice Cream urging them to replace the cow’s milk they use in their products for, ahem, human breast milk.

PETA claims human breast milk would cause less suffering for dairy cows and would make a healthier choice for humans. For their part, Ben and Jerry’s say they applaud PETA’s novel approach — but believe a mother’s milk is best for her child only.

The collective intelligence of PETA continues to astound. First, let’s release lab animals who have no chance to survive in the wild. Then let’s not milk dairy cows, so they’ll burst an udder and die. Now let’s substitute breast milk for cow’s milk. “Excuse me, waitress? I need more cream in my coffee!”.

Just imagine the logistics… How many gallons of milk does America go through every day? How much does an average lactating woman produce, and how many are lactating at any one time? I think there’s a supply chain shortage here.

All this goes in the same vein as animal testing. I’m against NEEDLESS animal testing. 3000 rabbits do not need to die to test the latest shade of Maybelline lipstick. However, I’d really prefer they did try newly engineered drugs on animals or convicts before using me as a guinea pig.

I do have a solution for those anti-animal testing basket cases: Let’s just not let them use ANY products that are tested on animals. “Oh, you have cancer? Sorry, we killed some mice testing this stuff. You can’t have any. And you’ve got about 2 weeks to live, so you may want to wrap things up.”
