We may not view it as breastfeeding, because the milk is secreted by a mother cow and she is mechanically suckled but, even if we drink her milk in a glass we are still technically breastfeeding.
If we recognise that a human mother’s milk is specifically designed – and intended – for no one but her new-born baby, why do we fail to see that a mother cow’s milk is likewise specifically designed – and intended – for no one but her new-born baby? And, since no adults of any other species on the planet drink breast milk after weaning, why on earth do we think we need to?
