    It’s really not. What we do, exploiting an animal directly for their milk, is not normal in the animal kingdom. You’re trying to argue that it is because mammaries are part of the meat that some animals consume. That’s a false equivalency.

      this is a bandwagon fallacy.

      i think it’s absolutely no different ethically, but what differences exist make our practices more humane: we don’t murder a cow every time we drink milk.
