A lawsuit filed by People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals,
Norfolk, Va., claims that ads created by the California Milk Advisory
Board, South San Francisco, are false advertising. The award-winning
campaign for the California dairy industry features "Happy
Cows" with the tagline "Great cheese comes from happy cows.
Happy cows come from California." The animal rights group charges
that these ads mislead consumers by incorrectly portraying idyllic
conditions for dairy cows. The lawsuit asks for a complete suspension of
the two-year-old print and television ad campaign.
