The California Department of Food and Agriculture Will Not Oppose PETA’s Public Records Act Claim

August 2011

After PETA briefed our California Public Records Act Claim and the judge scheduled a hearing, the California Department of Food and Agriculture decided it didn’t stand a chance. It informed us that it will not oppose our claim and instead will turn over thousands of pages of records relating to the California Milk Advisory Board’s marketing activities, which had previously been withheld on trade secret grounds. We now move to the second phase of this litigation, which asks the court to put a stop to the board’s false and misleading marketing claims about the health and welfare of cows used in California’s dairy industry.

“Almost all of us grew up eating meat, wearing leather, and going to circuses and zoos. We never considered the impact of these actions on the animals involved. For whatever reason, you are now asking the question: Why should animals have rights?”

— Ingrid Newkirk, PETA Founder and co-author of Animalkind
