I always hear vegans say silly shit like "humans are the only animal that drinks milk after they are grown, and from other animals!" Like, okay, and? Humans are also the only animal that constructs electrified structures with AC so they can live comfortably, anyone want to give that up?

Humans have evolved to tolerate milk even as adults. Some humans don't have this gene. We call those unlucky ones lactose intolerant. It's possible to train other mammals into developing this gene naturally, but the process evolution is very long. One way to shorten it is to modify the genes in labs.

As for drinking milk from other species, humans aren't the only animals who do it. Although rare, mothers instinctively breastfeed pretty much any babies looking for food. My cat tried sucking on my nipple not long after I adopted her. She realized I was dry (I'm male) and never tried it again. I've seen a cat breastfeed ducklings in a farm. You don't have to be a mammal to seek milk. Food is food. I also heard of cats and dogs raising each other, as well as non-human apes breastfeeding humans and vice versa. Animals sometimes adopt other children of other species. I wouldn't be surprised if breastfeeding is involved in some cases.

Vegans are wrong on so many things. They make a lot of things up to justify their beliefs and feel superior to others. They aren't superior, they're weak thanks to severe malnutrition. They also abuse children and other animals by forcing them to eat an unhealthy diet. Only moral vegetarians have a point, but they're approaching the problem from the wrong angle. They should be lobbying and campaigning to make lab-grown meat the norm. This would eliminate all slaughterhouses, thus ending most animal cruelty and helping the environment. Meat grown in labs is virtually indistinguishable from meat obtained from killed animals. I wonder how vegans would feel about drinking real milk that wasn't produced by mammals who recently gave birth.
