Thanks Prad, seems like we have at least a few of these battles currently happening on the home front.

I found this great website promoting awareness of puppy mills but was a little disturbed that one of their ways of fund raising contributes to the cruelty of another species.
"Turkey Hill MOO Money (ongoing)
A refreshingly easy fundraiser that can raise tons of funds for us. It's easy: Just drink milk, collect the lids, and get Moo Money! Collect your lids and email us for drop-off information."
http://www.unitedagainstpuppymills.org/awareness.html
They seem like a great organization that are trying to stop the abuse and misuse of puppy mill dogs but it really doesn't make sense to me that they promote the cruelty of another species to raise money for the organization. Does anyone find this odd?
I feel this is a little counter productive because they seem to be a good organization but I felt compelled to write an e-mail to point out to them that this form of fund raising is really unaligned with their mission to help animals and that there are other ways of fund raising that don't promote cruelty at all.
My email:
Hi,
I found the united against puppy mills site very informative and it inspired me to take action against such cruelty, but I really found this form of fund raising (moo money) to be very unaligned with your mission to help animals. If you haven't already seen, the milk industry is anything but humane. Mother cows are abused and used and then slaughtered when they can no longer produce milk and the calves which actually need the milk from their mothers are taken away, confined and eventually are slaughtered for the veal industry. Please for a minute think about bringing a precious baby into the world only to have it immediately taken away and placed in confinement until it is slaughtered, meanwhile being tortured and forced to give milk until you are run dry, then the farmers would no longer have use for you so you would be slaughtered for food. Please take a few minutes of your time to watch this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_kM387cI4rk&feature=player_embedded
Surely there is a way that you can raise money without promoting the cruelty, abuse, and misuse of another species of animal.

it is odd, but fairly typical.
the spca's have raised funds for years through barbeques and hotdog sales - last year, after considerable protest and letter-writing, did the finally see the folly of their ways (at least around here) and do something about it.
speciesism is not an easy attitude to get people to see and act upon.
i wonder if they'd consider drinking dog milk?

forgot to mention, the swan issue is only for maryland residents, so you can put in zip code 21202 if you want to send the letter.
Thanks!

Good idea but the problem would be getting ripe fruit delivered.
