The New Hampshire, the student newspaper at the University of New Hampshire, rejected an advertisement from PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) that spoofed the Got Milk? ads.
__________________Instead, they wanted to do Got Beer, claiming beer was better for you than milk. Now, I don't really care if they believe this. BUT. We've got a serious alcohol problem on our college campuses that caused more kids to fail out, become alcoholics, and even die because of irresponsible alcohol use. And PETA think this ad is a good idea? Read for yourself: http://www.milksucks.com/beersurvey.html odd. |

I think that's ludicrous.

I thought milk does the body good. I consume massive quantities everyday. I think their main concern is not milk but the ethical treatment of animals, and their willing to make any claim or push any idea(no matter if its rubbish) in the pursuit of their goal.

PETA does things to get attention drawn to their beliefs.
This campaign gets them huge publicity, and starts disscussions on the matter. I hardly think PETA is to blame for any alchohol abuse on our campuses, no matter what they say about it, that has more to do with the gov't and the beer companys. |

So if you can not get people to care about or listen to your cause(s) use shock tactics. Good idea. I would looooove to see the room of rocket scientists they have volunteering there time on the PETA ad Champaign team.

PETA is not concerned about your health.
One of their goals is to take away the right of humans to eat meat and dairy products (yes, The_Wanderer, even all of those cheeses that you enjoy). ~U2Alabama |

Beer somehow being better than milk is outrageous....but then again so is throwing red paint on people with fur coats. Encouraging alcoholism is far more ethical than letting the American Farmer make their living. ![]()

your arguments are all well and good but
you seem to be forgetting that PETA, an organization for which i am neither here nor there, is making the statements based on a published work from harvard university
evidently the book to which PETA refers to is a cook book published by harvard researchers with the obvious backing of of the school. to clarify, if it should become neccessary, i am neither for or against this idea of beer being 'better' for an individual than milk. if any of you are involved in advanced research of any kind you will know how easy it is to twist things. once these studies hit the media, or worse, advocacy groups(PETA) the twisting becomes exponential. it just seemed to me some of you were ignoring the statements made in the PETA release

not wanting to eat meat, or specific kinds of meat is all right, you know, to each man his own. but to say all dairy products are bad because you're hurting cows is ludicrous.

If they want to draw attention to their cause through this ad campaign that's fine. But I think it hurts their cause if they place a Got beer? ad in a college paper in which
-a majority of the readers are under the legal drinking age -know someone who was physically taken advantage or raped while under the influence -know someone who has experienced or died from alcohol poisioning all three of which are quite prevelant on college campuses. I'm still waiting for PETA to do ads that we should fight against funding to Native American organizations because they hunt for food and make animal skin teepee and wear fur. And those damn Eskimos kill whales and polar bears for food and clothing. And all those Australians who "throw shrimp on the barbi" are evil. And plants have feelings too.......no more salads! |

Sting2 is right, it's not the act of milking a cow, it's the conditions that the cows (and any other meat/dairy/leather etc. animals for that matter) are kept in.
__________________It's no secret fact that factory farms are known for having horrific conditions, and putting family farmers out of business, and it's tese types of farms more than any other where our products are coming from. Any way to get the laws and regulations changed to meet more ethical standards for the animals is their main concern. And whether you agree with them or not, it gets the dialouge moving. |
