An Inclusive Litany

2/14/02

Florida's Lakeland Register reports on a campaign against a fundraising event held by Florida Southern College called "cow bingo." Participants in the game buy squares on a grid laid out in a field, and the winner is the first one on whose square a cow leaves a deposit. Confronted with accusations of "demeaning cattle" from the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, the college released a statement: "To our knowledge, no laxatives were used on the cow."
