  To be fair most dairy farms take pretty good care of their ladies, better care even than if they were in the 'wild,' so to speak. Maybe not the massive money maker farms but the smaller family run farms take good care of their cows

  Weirder still if you were to see a lactating human feed a calf by breast. >
  
  In some cultures it's considered abnormal for adults to drink any kind of milk. This is believed to be why a large percentage of East Asians become lactose intolerant as adults. >
  
  I'm from Southeast Asia and I agree. My grandma spent her early years in an extremely rural island and they never drank cow's milk even though there were plenty of cows. Probably because they have ample food from nature so they didn't need to explore more sources. >
  
  Countries near the equator have people with a high level of lactose intolerance because they get enough vitamin d from the sun for the bones so they dont really need to digest milk fully for calcium. Meanwhile in europe where people dont get that much sun milk was the only good source of calcium. Hence why asian countries have people with a high level of lactose intolerance.

  It would also be weird if a bull started drinking from a heifer. >
  
  It would also be weird if a bull started drinking from a human. >

  It would also be weird if a human started bullieng a drink >
  
  It would also be bullshit if a bull ate a human and pooped him out. >
  
  Or like, why aren't we fermenting breast milk for homemade decent probiotics? >
  
  Have you ever smelled curdled breastmilk? Blech. Flashbacks to my infant son not being able to hold any of it down and just smelling like puke for about a month before we found the wonderful, lifesaving world of goat milk. >
  
  Like anything that has a fetish community, fetishists make things that logically sound normal weird. Admiring parts of the human body of the opposite sex makes sense too but admiring someone's feet is always a fetish thing. >
  
  Vulnerable body parts get covered up. Covered up body parts become a novelty. Novelty invites sexualization. >
  
  it is weird to drink another species milk you are just conditioned to think it is not  
  you literally drink breast milk from cows  
  can't forget you pay a person to fist a cows ass so they can impregnate them  
  do you think that isn't weird? >
  
  We eat other species' meat, which is normal; but eating human meat is weird. 
  Which is not weird, because that is cannibalism. >
  
  Other animals are casual cannibals >
  
  I would prefer not to consume bovine lactose at any temperature. >
  
  Breastmilk if for developing humans - infants - and adults are already fully developed.  We drink other animals milk because its delicious and what can they do about it. >
  
  I mean, cow's milk is also designed for infants >
  
  Similar to a wet nurse >
  
  I’m not of the majority, but drinking milk from another animal is pretty freaking strange too. Especially if you first imprison the animal an its whole family for generations and then fondle its large nipnips to get that sweet thick milk. Milk that the animals body produces for its babies.
  It might actually be less strange if you imprison the animals for generations as sneaking around out in the wilds to get a squeeze from a cows or goats nipnips would also be pretty freaky.
  There are some pretty good drinks that don’t require us to get pervy or sadistic with any number of generations of a species of animal. Those are good drinks too.
