Wisconsin Judge Rules No Right to Own a Cow or Drink Its Milk

This seems insane. So you're a dairy farm if you own a cow? What if you own a sheep or a goat? Are you a dairy farm then? How about a horse, or dog or a pig? English common law has allowed people to own livestock forever. What is the legal reasoning employed? That a cow is a threat to public safety?

The fact that it was a Dane County (Madison) judge says it all.

In a decision denying basic property rights and even exceeding the FDA's contempt for the rights of private contract and food freedom of choice, Dane County Circuit Court Judge Patrick J. Fiedler has issued an order holding that owners of cows do not have a fundamental right to consume milk from their own cow.
