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?

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?

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

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

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.

There's a store in London that sold human milk ice cream.

Yeah, in the same shop where they bought popsicles, an elephant was also scooping ice cream "with an ungloved trunk" as Judy points out while threatening to issue them a citation.

There's milk IRL which means somebody is being milked IRL too. Fascinating.

They won't tell you, but there are humans in underground farming facilities. That's just what zootopians accepted as a necessary evil towards less inteligent species. Some even buy them as pets and crossbreed them to have funny features.
