The Lies of the "Happy Cows" Website

If you think the commercials are bad, check out the California Dairy Board's "Real Milk" website. It's enough to make any true animal lover enraged, disgusted, saddened, or-- most likely-- a combination of all three. It's a beautifully designed site full of content that perpetuates the claim that California cows are happy.

As of this writing, I must ask... What's more sickening? The desktop wallpaper featuring soon-to-be-killed cows with charming dairy-board-given names like Alicia, Anna, April, and Bob? Or perhaps it's the "Happy Cows" audition clips featuring singing cows trying to impress (of course, nothing they can "say" will save them from exploitation). Maybe it's the "Happy Cows!" game and coloring book that are blatant attempts to get kids to be happy about eating their hamburgers and drinking their milk (Why tell kids where their food really comes from?).

The list goes on and on. It's one thing to see the commercials which are obviously a simple attempt at humor and trickery. But to see all the "Happy Cow" propoganda and all the lies in one place (and to note how it seems so targeted towards children)-- what nerve these people have.
