    Humans drink human milk, and the milk of other animals. Animals drink the milk of their own species on a regular basis. I will never understand why people get hung up on this in Zootopia as if drinking the milk of other creatures OR the same species is something humans and animals don’t ever do in real life. It’s like y’all just want it to be weird.

      Humans don’t usually sell their own milk to others or turn it into processed foods; it’s reserved for nursing their own babies. There are no lower animals in Zootopia, they are all anthropomorphic and behave like humans. So them having ice cream is akin to human women selling their milk for the masses to consume. It’s a little strange.

        I can’t say its to the masses per se, but there are many women who sell their excess breast milk online for other mothers, so kind of close?

          Do people make breast milk ice cream? Probably. Whether or not it could become normal to be sold to people depends on how delicious it is.

          Given that it’s not normal, I imagine it’s not delicious.

            Apparently human breast milk is sweeter than cow, so it would probably make great ice cream.

            I doubt it has anything to do with deliciousness and more to do with taboo and the fact I doubt there’s many volunteers to sit around being milked.

            Human milk has a higher sugar content than cow milk so it probably tastes pretty good. I think the lack of supply is due to the taboo of it and the lack of lactating women who want to get milked all day

        Humans don’t usually sell their own milk to others

        They do though, there’s literally a market for breast milk, especially with women who for whatever reason can’t produce their own.

      Don’t you know you’re supposed to dissect every single frame of a movie, so you can point out all of the inaccuracies and vaguely relevant plot holes!

        This isn’t even an inaccuracy or plot hole, it’s something that we already do in real life.

        I misread your reply, and I think my (slightly tweaked) version is more accurate - Don’t you know you’re supposed to dissect every single frame of a movie, so you can point out all of the insecurities it makes you feel that are vaguely relevant to the plot?

        Actually adult cows occasionally drink milk too, it’s just rare because farmers usually don’t allow them to.

      Animals drink the milk of their own species on a regular basis

      Baby animals. They don’t go around and rape their own kind, kill the kid and steal the milk on a industrial scale.
