I am a dairy farmer and I believe there is wrong and right in every business. I agree that if a cow is not happy she will not give much, The 260 milk cows I manage give on average a day 97 lbs of milk a day with and average Somatic Cell count of 90k this is all possible through A.I. it is like having every women bred with Bill Gates or Michael Jordan, Also fed a high energy ration similar to all of us eating like Michael Phelps's 14,000 calories. Cows could be happier but so could Humans
When I was a boy a cow milked 8,500 pound....to day she milk 22,500 pound. This milk is not healthy, like anything else when the amount goes up the quality goes down.
I actually am not religious, so I think that they are in humanity's hands... and I think that we should not be so selfish as to only think about ourselves.
What gave you the impression that I do nothing with me life? I am a full time student and I work 2 jobs. I think you should stop making assumptions lol.
And was the "screw you" because Im not religious? Or because you are simply inarticulate?
So do you think cows are here specifically to be slaughtered and sold? I don't believe that. But even if that were true (for the sake of argument), why does that have to mean that they must be treated in a cruel way as well?
Watch the Penn and Teller episode of Bullshit about peta. They bring up some interesting facts. The trouble with California is it is hot there. Cows need shelter from that hot sun and cooling fans etc.
im a organic dairy in north carolina this an embaressment to the dairy industry anyone who treats animals this way needs to have there ass kicked all the way to hell
Just because you don't see something doesn't mean that it doesn't happen. Peta is not the only animal rights activist group out there defending and exposing the truth of the treatment of animals. There is nothing wrong with defending animals and it need not be at the expense of humans. There is enough to go around and its not for someone else to dictate where your passions lie. Consider checking out the brutally truthful documentary Earthlings.

you people are stupid I have never seen a dairy where they do stuff like that most of that video didn't even look like it was on a dairy but of course what ever peta saws you guys think it is the truth. And any way Instead of peta spending their money on stuff like this they could help people in africa who are in terrible conditions instead of making up lies about the dairy industry
not a fan of peta! BUT this is the truth, i am sooooo glad it was on the first page when i put in "happy Cows" Those commercials are FALSE advertising; the dairy industry is DISGUSTING.
you peta pe.... you guys don't deserve to be called people, well any way you guys have leaders who are cows like that bay watch chick with the artificial udders its no wonder you guys jump at the dumbest things like when oboma killed the fly. Go save the whales and leave california cows alone... i just killed a fly.. Ha Ha Ha
i like how these peta people just get told what to think... have any of you actually been to a dairy farm and seen this mistreating of animals...didn't think so in stead you watch a video of a cow slipping on concrete and think she is mistreated
come to my dairy farm and show me my cows being mistreated
Oh I don't need to come to a dairy farm. You don't think just there mere taking away of the calf from the mother is cruel?
Cows bond with their babies just like we humans do. Tell me the mother cow doesn't bellow and cry for hours to days over her STOLEN child so you can STEAL her milk from her that is meant for the BABY--if you say she doesn't you're lying.
I'd ask Peta to buy me a farm and some cows if they want the cows to be happy. I'd treat the cows and the calves nicely. I'd buy the feed for the cows milk them and feed some milk to the calves and sell some milk to pay for the feed for the cows and to feed myself and my family. I'd hire college students to help operate the dairy farm so that they do not have to borrow to much money to pay for the college. So what do u say Peta. I'll also help the economy.
you assholes are sociopaths, devoid of emotion and empathy! the meat and dairy industry is the cruelest of all inhuman corp. dont eat meat ! no more medical experiment, or testing on animals!
How about we learn the REAL facts of the California dairy industry...
Take an ag class and educate yourself. That's the problem with all you PETA people...everything's taken to extremes, and nothing is ever justified by statistics.
There's a difference between having an animal as a pet and raising an animal for market. Maybe you someday you'll figure that out.
well that makes sense so i can understand your view... but at the same time its not just a market product it is a life! all you people care about is having your filthy meat and you dont care how its gathered so long as you get the taste its so selfish and you dont even realize it.
Yeah I know. One is compassion and the other is exploitation and speciesism--animals are NOT commodies, or "products"; they are LIVING BEINGS with just as much right to LIFE and love as any other species, human or not!

Get a freaking life. It is just a television commercial. Only you empty headed morons at PETA would believe that cows can actually talk. It comes from having no sense of humor. Humor is essential to healthy psychological function. Besides they taste great on the grill. I also love venison steaks, the hunt, the kill, the gutting, the butchering. Fabulous.
Yeah, you idiots think that cows have the ability to be either happy or unhappy and I'm the moron. Go watch Bambi, I know you think fascist imbeciles believe it is a documentary. Those cows look delicious.
Homocysteine is not something i develop? its not a disease? it is a chemical! so i dont know if you just searched "what kills vegans" or what but your so far off its just funny that has nothing to do with being a vegan or whatever its lack of b vitamins (b vitamins are not just in meat) you clearly dont know what your talking about so maby you should just stop your embarrassing yourself.
I hope you develope heart diseas now aswell, go ahead and google though find more lies on how i will die =b
Oh, I know how people such as you die, miserable and alone. Why are you continually talking about death? Are you suicidal? Maybe, and btw, Maybe is spelled M-A-Y-B-E there genius, maybe all of those special moments you and "daddy" shared are catching up with you. Anyone as hostile and hateful as you are obviously is dealing with some serious pathology. That aside, I don't get in pissing wars so go screw the cat or dog, or you mom or dad, or whatever you do to make yourself believe you count.
hah ohh... so your what like 10? i assumed i was talking to a mature person at least but clearly by how your talkin I was wrong and this is youtube dude not a spelling contest clearly you get what i mean by maby dont be stupid about it.
Not all the cow are like that, even. I would'nt call it false advertising.. only 'selective'. North of San Fran are gorgeous, rolling, green hills/cow pastures that are justified by the commercials. Anything but a pigsty.
Yeah, but those pastures barely have any cows. They have massive, luxurious hills. I don't think even 10% of Californian cows get that life. I don't mind slaughtering. It just has to be done within a milisecond. None of this, "oops I tried to cut your head off and now you're running around half alive".
True. But still, it's not 100% false, because it does exist. I think that these adverts are mainly sponsored by the dairy farms in that area, though.. That's what my cousin, who lives in Petaluma, said... and I got California Cheese pins there, too. xD! Not that that means anything.. rofl.
OK, three months late, but I live north of San Francisco and can tell you that there are several dairies with hundreds of cows in those gorgeous rolling green pastures. Some of the areas seem 'devoid' of cows because most of the rest of them are filled with herds of beef steers, not dairy cows. Around the dairies the cows are, in some cases, allowed free-roam to graze, which is why you don't see them close to the highways - they are out grazing! :)
I just cant take this shit from PETA and the belivers of them its just to much to explain in 500 words there is a dairy farm is british colombia and they are milking 6000 cows they are not treated like shit my sister works there im visiting next spring ill make a video and show you everything from getting the cow up for milking to feeding to showing
California Cows are raised right! I've lived there 9 years of my life they are raised like any other farm would raise them they have big fields of Alfa Peta is stupid/
I'm sorry, but the only people who seem to disagree with videos and opinions like these are people who 1. Support the industries 2. Don't know crap about the industries 3. Live on small and actually humane farms or 4. Don't actually care about cattle.
To give an idea of how random and accidental meat diets became popular, consider only 800,000 years ago there wasn't widespread use of fire among man. Inclimatic weather was a condition imposed on adapting man to trade more nutritious fruit diet for meat at times. The better part of the previous 5 million + years doesn't account for such a dependence upon meat while biochemistry still doesn't justify meat diet outside tradition.
To be fair, I'm not sure who the bigger liars are, california cow commericals, or Peta, they both suck. Wisconsin dairy is the best!
