Subject: No Right to Drink Milk from Own Cow - National Complaint Letter and
Fax Campaign
JUDGE: NO RIGHT TO DRINK MILK FROM OWN COW
PROTEST WITH NATIONAL COMPLAINT LETTER AND FAX CAMPAIGN
On September 9th, 2011 Wisconsin Judge Patrick J. Fiedler signed a court
order declaring that owners of dairy cows in Wisconsin do NOT have the right
to drink the milk from their own cow!
The order applies to a case between plaintiffs Nourished by Nature, LLC and
its members, dairy farmers Mark and Petra Zinniker, Gayle Loiselle and
Robert Karp VERSUS defendant Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and
Consumer Protection (DATCP). Nourished by Nature, LLC and the Zinnikers
contracted for a herd of cows wholly owned by the LLC to be boarded at
Zinniker Farm. Loiselle and Karp also contracted with the Zinnikers to
board their wholly owned cow. In February 2010 the plaintiffs filed suit
against DATCP seeking a court ruling that their boarding contracts were
legal. Last month Judge Fiedler denied plaintiffs motion and rejected their
arguments that they have the fundamental right to possess, use and enjoy
their property. The plaintiffs filed a Motion for Clarification which
resulted in the September 9th order.
Judge Fiedler's ruling disregards the fundamental right to life and liberty
of farmers and citizens. The preamble of the Constitution declares that
government was founded to secure the rights of its citizens.
The Wisconsin Judicial Commission has the power to remove a Judge from the
bench and that is our goal, but we need your help!
Judge Fiedler stated that, This court is unwilling to declare that there is
a fundamental right to consume the food of one's choice without first being
presented with significantly more developed arguments on both sides of the
issue. He said his decision translates further that, NoPlaintiffs do not
have a fundamental right to own and use a dairy cow or a dairy herd. and
NoPlaintiffs do not have a fundamental right to consume the milk from their
own cow.
ACTION TO TAKE
We need hundreds of formal complaints signed against this judge. If enough
people fill out the form, this will force an investigation from the Judicial
Commission. Marc Lovicott, a reporter from Channel 3 Madison, WI, has said
that if more than 100 complaints were filed he could guarantee that he would
put the story on prime time. We need to stress that this judges ruling was
unconstitutional and lacked judicial professionalism.
