Humans. Every other evolutionary species was there only humans were missing. Why? We were being farmed.

If we're talking a "zoo" utopia I'd imagine it involve some sort of retribution.

What's an "evolutionary species" versus a "species"?

So… animals can’t drink animal milk but humans can?

[–] UnfortunateShort@lemmy.world 33 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (2 children)

Humans even drink human milk. Crazy how that works

Nothing funnier than people starting to realise how weird it is to drink milk

[–] zipzoopaboop@lemmynsfw.com 25 points 2 years ago

I'm more weirded out about people thinking "breast milk" is gross, even calling it that instead of human milk is weird.

It's not, almost everyone has drunk human milk. It's actually not that bad.

I was fucked by Nestlé and didn't got to taste my mom's boobs.

They had a nudist colony in the movie where they very clearly showed rears and crotches that had nothing there. So why was Judy so flustered by their nudity? 🤔 Perhaps it wasn't because they were naked, but that there were all freaks that lacked buttholes and genitals.

[–] paddirn@lemmy.world 28 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Almost any meat or dairy products they’d be eating would questionable in that movie. How are the carnivore animals surviving? Do they just eat tofu? Or is there some sort of population of slave animals that are kept un-evolved that are born & bred for meat/dairy products?

[–] joyjoy@lemm.ee 10 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

How are the carnivore animals surviving? Do they just eat tofu?

This is exactly what the movie explains. There's an underground black market dealing with kidnapping and illegal meat.

Or am I confusing this with Beastars?

[–] Wild_Mastic@lemmy.world 16 points 2 years ago

Pretty sure this is beastars

Humans obviously. They just didn't show the farms because they didn't want to scare the children.

[–] magnolia_mayhem@lemmy.world 23 points 2 years ago (2 children)

The cows. None of this is weird.

Probably the same as who gets milked in real life. Animals drink milk too I don't understand why people are constantly thrown off by this, it's just as normal if not more normal to drink milk in the animal kingdom.

[–] Geth@lemmy.dbzer0.com 16 points 2 years ago (6 children)

Farming milk involves forcefully insemination cows to get pregnant so they produce milk in the first place. Often times in factory farming, their calves are taken away for "repurposing". Combine that with the typical living conditions for the average milk cow and it wouldn't be hard to imagine why people that have any idea of how the industry functions would be thrown off by this.

Imagine human women being treated like this for the milk they produce so that you get to enjoy a cheap pleasure.

It's not the drinking milk thats weird. It's the fact that they would have to be farming milk from intelligent animals to get it. Like if cows could talk and were as smart as humans I think people would find farming milk from them a little weird.

[–] Geth@lemmy.dbzer0.com 13 points 2 years ago (4 children)

The milk drinking is just as weird, since no other animal continues drinking milk after passing their baby state. Only humans do that.

All mammals drink milk, that's literally the defining biological trait of them. Hoomans are also mammals.

Who's to say cows can't be milked in Zootopia?
If you can earn money by donating blood and organs (i.e. part of a kidney or liver), guys can earn money donating sperm, women donating eggs, then why couldn't a Zootopia cow (or other mammals for that matter) donate their milk?

[–] thisisbutaname@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Because they'd have to be pregnant first, and they'd rather feed their calves.

Also, why am I taking this seriously?

[–] Th4tGuyII@kbin.social 6 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

You're not wrong, maybe cows choose formula and sell their milk?
Fuck knows ¯\(ツ)

[–] crawancon@lemm.ee 8 points 2 years ago (1 children)

maybe there's a zootopia Nestlé that all the animals also fucking hate and want to go away because Nestlé is a cancer on this earth as well as anyone that works for them.

fuck Nestlé

[–] Th4tGuyII@kbin.social 5 points 2 years ago

Seriously, Fuck Nestlé.

Can't get rid of them because they hide behind a litany of brands (and companies) in order to avoid their bad reputation, making it almost impossible for the average person to properly boycott them without knowing just how many brands (and companies) they own.

Can someone please explain to me what predators eat in Zootopia? Surely they can't survive on plants alone.

[–] Jomega@lemmy.world 14 points 2 years ago (3 children)

Bugs, birds, reptiles. In Zootopia, only mammals are anthropomorphic.

You can make a movie about people without showing any animal but show the characters eating meat.

So if in Zootopia they were eating Humans we wouldn't see the human life stock farming. So we can't assume they don't eat humans.

[–] Spendrill@lemm.ee 5 points 2 years ago

Human beans.

Ice cream in zootopia is vegan.

[–] PersnickityPenguin@lemm.ee 14 points 2 years ago

Vegan ice cream

[–] kuneho@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago

They have a system for this in Beastars. I think the same could work here.

[–] FanciestPants@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago

In Sing 2, Bono's character that I can't remember the name of is wearing what looks very much like a leather jacket.
