DawnWatch: "Happy Cows" ads stay as govt is immune from false advertising laws
Those of us in California are familiar with the amusing but misleading 'Happy Cows' advertisements from the California Milk Producers Advisory Board. The theme of the cartoon-style campaign is "Good cheese comes from happy cows. Happy cows come from California."

In some areas, the same fish might get caught between five or ten times. Recent stud...

DawnWatch: New York Times on Alaska Zoos elephant treadmill plans
The Sunday, January 9. New York Times has a story about the Alaska Zoo's elephant, named Maggie. She is a lone elephant - unconscionable for such social animals, and suffers from Artic climate, so different from an elephant's natural environment.
