Perfect sense hardly appears to be an appropriate description here, when
1) No other animal drinks the milk of another animal.
2) No other animal drinks milk after being weaned.
In nature there is no model for the consumption of milk of another species, after weaning.
Women don't need to be bred for milking, as the only humans
that need milk are those that the women themselves have bred, and this is for the first years of life only.
- davidw 17y ago> No other animal drinks the milk of another animal. No other animal sits around getting involved in fruitless (and off topic) discussions on hacker news, either... Edit: As for me, I don't like milk much, but I'm a big fan of gelato, and various tasty cheeses.
- scott_s 17y agoWhat does it matter if other species don't do it? We're also the only species to domesticate other species. And that's precisely why some of us can digest lactose into adulthood: our ancestors domesticated cows, and evolved that ability because it provided an advantage. It sounds like you're parroting PETA/vegan talking points.
