    Never saw the movie so I’m gonna assume humans in Zootopia are livestock. You can calculate the rest lol.

      Well the main plot line is about some drug they use to make the animals go wild again, so that theory might not be too far from the truth.

    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.

          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.

            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

            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.

        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.

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

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

    There’s an actually quite good Netflix show version of Puss in Boots that basically no one I know has watched that makes this gag.

    The barmaid of San Lorenzo is a cow, and she isn’t just the (off-camera) provider of the protagonist’s leche, but she held ice packs to herself to prepare milkshakes one time. volcel-judge

  • I imagine being a cow in Zootopia is quite lucrative. Not only do you produce a product people want to buy, you can also satisfy more carnal urges by allowing customers to be the ones milking you.
