    So drinking a real-world cow’s milk is ok, but drinking a Zootopia cow’s milk would not be ok because… the Zootopia cow is presumably a full member of society who earns a living by consensually being milked?

    They had a nudist colony in the movie where they very clearly showed rears and crotches that had nothing there. So why was Judy so flustered by their nudity? 🤔 Perhaps it wasn’t because they were naked, but that there were all freaks that lacked buttholes and genitals.

    Humans obviously. They just didn’t show the farms because they didn’t want to scare the children.

      So you don’t think it’s weird to have a farm of humans that have children every 9 months and get milked in mass production?

    Probably the same as who gets milked in real life. Animals drink milk too I don’t understand why people are constantly thrown off by this, it’s just as normal if not more normal to drink milk in the animal kingdom.

      Farming milk involves forcefully insemination cows to get pregnant so they produce milk in the first place. Often times in factory farming, their calves are taken away for “repurposing”. Combine that with the typical living conditions for the average milk cow and it wouldn’t be hard to imagine why people that have any idea of how the industry functions would be thrown off by this.

      Imagine human women being treated like this for the milk they produce so that you get to enjoy a cheap pleasure.

        We sell breast milk without forcefully inseminating women just fine, this leap of logic doesn’t make any sense. We treat cows as livestock because we view cows as animals not people, whether their treatment is cruel or not is a different irrelevant argument, but in Zootopia they’d just be seen as people and would have control over the supply so obviously cows wouldn’t be treated the same way in Zootopia as they are in real life. They’d only have to milk themselves and sell it just like when women sell breast milk in real life. If anything it’s even less weird and disturbing to think about than in real life.

        Tell me you know nothing about farming without actually saying it.

        Cows and other livestock are raised in farms to raise more cows anyway. Farmers don’t keep male cows around for fun, and cows aren’t pets. All non-breeding stock gets eaten.

    Who’s to say cows can’t be milked in Zootopia?
    If you can earn money by donating blood and organs (i.e. part of a kidney or liver), guys can earn money donating sperm, women donating eggs, then why couldn’t a Zootopia cow (or other mammals for that matter) donate their milk?

        Cows produce excess milk, and many animals will continue to lactate if milked for an extended period even after giving birth and no longer being pregnant. If it makes them money then why not?

      I’m more weirded out about people thinking “breast milk” is gross, even calling it that instead of human milk is weird.
