It's not the drinking milk thats weird. It's the fact that they would have to be farming milk from intelligent animals to get it. Like if cows could talk and were as smart as humans I think people would find farming milk from them a little weird.

The milk drinking is just as weird, since no other animal continues drinking milk after passing their baby state. Only humans do that.

Your comment is proof that my cat is human.

any predator will eat lactating mammaries. birds and reptiles are also known to drink mammalian milk.

This is not even close to true. Even adult cows will occasionally grab a sip from another cow or even themselves.

Not as strange as Mongolians, who drink horse blood.

How is it more weird to get milk from intelligent animals that are capable of giving consent?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

Humans sell their own breastmilk to other humans for human consumption all the time in real life, it is completely normal for humans to drink human milk as well as the milk or other animals. The only difference in Zootopia is that every animal would be providing their milk consensually and likely selling it themselves. There's nothing weird about that.
