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

According to the judge: 
(1) Plaintiffs do not have a fundamental right to own and use a dairy cow or a dairy herd;


(2) Plaintiffs do not have a fundamental right to consume the milk from their own cow;


(3) Plaintiffs do not have a fundamental right to board their cow at the farm of a farmer;


(4) The Zinniker Plaintiffs’ private contract does not fall outside the scope of the States’ police power;


(5) Plaintiffs do not have a fundamental right to produce and consume the foods of their choice;


(6) DATCP [Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection] . . . had jurisdiction to regulate the Zinniker Plaintiffs’ conduct.
This is the state that harbors Madison, which was recently the scene of teachers (and other anarchists) occupying the capital building for weeks to stop as bill designed to stop Wisconsin from insolvency from becoming a law.

Reminds me of the line in a Simon and Garfunkel song America, the last verse:
"Kathy, I'm lost" I said, and ends with "They've all gone to look for America"
