Left on Left: A class action lawsuit alleges that Ben & Jerry’s ice cream is made from dairy not sourced from “happy cows” as advertised, but with milk from factory farms.

How does the plaintiff know that the cows that produced the milk were unhappy? Let me guess: someone conducted a bovine satisfaction survey?
Ben and Jerry are just a couple of disgusting rump-rangers who are producing and selling a completely unneeded product that is very bad for anyone who eats this horrid sugar and fat garbage.
The two sweat-hogs are producing mega amounts of methane and carbon and much electricity to make their idiotic ice-cream. They should care more about the planet and close their business. No one needs their product whatsoever. Their lives are pointless.
Did mention that these two multi millionaire hypocrites are communists.
Because Ben and Jerry personally fondled the teats prior to the 2000 buy-out, and so were in a position to note the moos of pleasure. Cold, metal hands couldn’t provide the same stimulation, therefore the cows couldn’t be as happy. At least, so the beastialists would tell us.
I won’t go arm’s deep to probe other means that Ben and Jerry could have used to ensure happy cows.
Oh? Was the AM/FM radio shut off in the barn? Cows need music to keep happy.
Ice cream made from sour milk?
I met a sour cow last week. I was helping a buddy ship. We were separating the cows from their calves. Had one that got her head up and put me over the fence. Ha
No harm done.
Maybe that old girl is part of B&J supply chain….
Glad you were ok after the toss.
Maybe she just wanted to see your ankles?
Did you hear the one about the farmer who said to his helper
“Throw me over the fence a bale of hay?”
So the helper threw him over the fence and then went to get the hay.
Corny, wah, wah wah wah!
Yeah, we all ‘herd’ it before.
Evidently, the helper didn’t fully cowmprehend his boss’s instructions and will soon be mooving on. How dairy think that it would end differently?
Boot! Dos types go out on their dairyères!
The Stupidity that is running a muck!!
Seriously, though…just like that, this has emerged all of a sudden? Vermont is a beautiful small state that relies on dairy farming. Any business owner there is grateful for patronage. Could the gang Greenies be trying to shut down the state and reinvent it? I spent some time there in the past, it is a small place where everyone knows everyone. People will defend themselves from this. Their moto should be like that of the neighbouring state, New Hampshire, that is:
“Give Me Liberty or Give Me Death!”
I wouldn’t be surprised if this “muck” is the Greenies horning in. Greenies better watch themselves.
Fortunately I don’t have a cow in that fight … as I wouldn’t purchase a Cherry Garcia if I were starving and dying of heat in the desert. Screw those communists.
*Ben and Jerry are Lefties. They need to get the kind of social justice poison they support visited upon them good and hard.
* owned by theEuropean British-Dutch conglomerate, Unilever
“owned by the European British-Dutch conglomerate, Unilever”
The frivolous and vexatious law suit will have zero affect on Ben and Jerry. The two prickish potentates from the supreme court of virtue signalers cashed in some time ago laughing all the way to the bank.
BTW can you still buy the flavors ‘Mao Better Mango’ or ‘Stalin’s Groovy Grape Gulag’ at their iced cream shop?
nold, the really funny flavor was Jerry-Lin. Apparently that flavor had pieces of Chinese fortune cookie in it for the crunch and Lefties howled racism over it. LOL So, changed the fortune cookie chunks to waffle cone fragments. Still, love when the Left eats it’s own.
I scream, you scream for …that Utopian Dream!

Getting it.
The hoop snakes appear to be getting smaller in those parts.
Interesting to see the potential disaster of rolling into Unilever. Class action indeed. Stupid lawyers should in turn sue their stupid clients for getting them into a mess. After all bovine defamation is a serious offense, a known cause of flatulence, and therefore harmful to the environment.
Time for a ‘magical’ product endorsement to appear.
If I bought photoshopp the streets would be green in minutes.
The lawsuit will, no doubt, be only the beginning. While I was growing up in B. C., I remember a brand of condensed milk that was produced in the Fraser Valley some 50 years ago. Pacific, I think it was called and I recall seeing ads for it on the telly.
Its slogan was “Made by contented cows” or something like that and the label on the tins showed a pasture populated by the presumably blissful beasts.
Should Unilever be found guilty, I’m sure that there will be numerous retroactive suits in B. C. How many lives were ruined by milk produced by cows who had a sub-optimal state of happiness? (“I coulda been a contender, but I wasn’t because I drank your milk.”) The courts could be tied up for decades.
You will need to pry my B&Js Cherry Garcia from my cold dead hands.
Even well treated, family raised cows have bad days. When it’s -20F, windy and the global warming is falling from the sky you don’t need to be a bovine psychologist to see they are not happy. They still need to be milked. The Pistachio Pistachio will taste just fine.
Ignore the Neo-Puritan scolds.
In the cold and windy Maritimes the Holstein cows, which are the best milking cows, stay in the barn during the winter. They are happy cows.
Off the topic but furthermore, when in heat, they take no more bull, they get artificially inseminated. (saw this being performed years ago, takes a giant of a man with long disposable gloves. I’ll spare you the rest, go imagine)
Dairy cows are not subjected to the elements. Staying warm requires energy – the same energy that is used to produce milk. Dairy cattle in polar climates are housed, sheltered from the elements. In Alberta you only see dairy cows out in the summer.
I wonder, how many cows were incinerated after the making of these commercials.

PETA sued a Dairy a few years ago over their Happy Cows ad they lost big Anyone who has anything to do with PETA is total idiot
Their religion requires that they attack a new target everyday; they are running out of targets. They need to invent increasingly contrived charges, to keep the wheels on the victim train greased.
Ben & Jerry’s is no longer owned by socialists!?!?! Fantastic news! I’m going out to get a pint as soon as possible!
Apparently there used to be a law in Manitoba that every stall in new barns required a man door and a smoke detector, so the cows can be alerted and exit if there is a fire. Law was gone with the NDP when they got the boot.
Back in the 80’s the ruskies sent a delegation over to study how we do ag. One bunch was entertained by a friend of mine. He said they couldn’t get over the fact that cattle (beef) were left out on their own with nobody guarding them. Beef cattle are hardy and as long as they have pasture and water they can pretty much look after themselves.
The russians also said that the dairy industry operates as follows. Each cow is assigned a milk maid. Ivanka is then charged with the animal husbandry of her cow. She feeds and milks that cow (by hand) and only that cow. The ruskies were taken aback by the efficiencies in the Canadian dairy industry.
Oh and he said they have B&J’s in russia as well….. sort of… Boris and Joris. One flavour…potato…their biggest seller
During the time of Perestroika (restructuring) and Glasnost (openess) in the Russian government, when Gorbachev toured around Canada he went to visit the Heinz Factory in Leamington Ontario. He allegedly was so awed by the tomato canning factory that he had claimed to people that were with him that the Russians back home would be very impressed with this whole mechanized process. In a typical Russian way of expressing things, that is in mostly negative terms, regardless of a positive situation, he had exclaimed that this canning factory would never happen in Russia. In English it went something like, “never in Russia!”

It actually IS your grandma’s humane society.
Just the part of it you weren’t allowed to see.
