First reality TV star Kloe
Kardashian called the group bullies
for pelting sister Kim with flour. Then Jennifer Lawrence, star of the hit
movie The Hunger Games, dissed
the group in a Rolling Stone cover story.
And now one of PETA’s
outlandish billboard ads has been rejected on the grounds that it wasn’t
truthful. According to a story in the Fresno
Bee, the ad, stating that “Real Milk Comes from Really Sick Cows,” was
to appear in Hanford, California, near where a dairy cow with Mad Cow disease
was found last month.
Hal Kilshaw, vice president
of government relations for Lamar Advertising, was quoted saying the PETA
billboard was misleading. “Millions of people drink milk every day and don’t
get sick,” Kilshaw said.
As a fallback, PETA put an ad
promoting vegetarianism on a local television station.
