Why do vegans say?

that no other species drinks another species milk? It's simply not true and easy to find even UTube videos of cross nursing?

Or why do they claim humans are the only animal to "farm" other animals? it's simply not true either.

Ants also "farm" fungus and some other insects.

Don't they know how silly it makes them look when they say such easily refuted things?

As a dairy farmer I have seen adult cows suckle on each other tho the one having milk taking from her has to be willing as not all cows will allow this. It's usually between friends this happens.

Also the cows can drink their own if they have big enough udders.

As well as many other animals would eat/drink when the body demands it. Eg deer, elephants and cows for instance have been seen to suck/eat bone marrow of dead animals. I have seen female deer chew antlers while still on the stag.

There is a YouTube clip of baby ducklings who amazingly got adopted by a cat who just gave birth, the ducklings where actually suckling because they came across the food source.

Edit

Another argument veg/vegans use us the fact we don't have what other predators have to kill pray therefore we should not be eating meat. There insist ant we are herbivores so I am waiting to see what herbivore uses a tractor and machinery to creat food!! If we can't use the tools our brains advanced enough then why are they on computers or driving etc, it's like sticking two fingers up to our intelligence.

Yet, as has been shown, Daisy, your arguments have been "easily refuted".

The human was taking the calves food and offering it to the cat. On his own, the cat might not have gone to the cow and suckled the teat. As for the photos you shared, infants were nursing for survival. Humans taking food from calves for the human's pleasure, is not necessary. Humans can live quite fine without milk after they self-wean.

Humans can CHOOSE whether or not to eat meat. Also, we can CHOOSE how kindly we treat the animals that humans are to care for.

Also, animals wet nursing other animals has been done by humans as well. There was a time in which the rich were too good to breastfeed their own children, so they hired wet nurses to do so. (In the Bible, for example, Moses's mother was hired to nurse the baby. In this case "nurse" means to care for and breastfeed. Granted, in the case of Pharaoh's daughter, she adopted the baby.) Wet nursing is still done today, even in the US, though sterile milk banks are more common.

Why can't you just be a mature human being and accept that others have different choices than you? Or, is your life sad and pathetic enough that you have to TRY and refute other's decisions anonymously through the Internet? (I'm currently just killing time draining my lap top battery and waiting for my MIL to come so I can go to the grocery store-- Alone.)

Because I'm an uninformed teenager bent on spreading vegan lies in order to suit my beliefs. I also adore lying to people about mice not getting run over in the grain fields, only animal products having B12, and plants not having feelings.

ADDENDUM: Oh, did I mention I'm a raging hypocrite too who uses plastic bags, and lives in the real world instead of Veganfantasyville.

Daisy is this a picture of wild animals, in their natural habitat? This video is of highly domesticated animals, in a man-made place, being controlled by man.

Milk is designed by nature to be species specific. All the mammals need the milk of their species, because their species milk has the correct amount of growth hormones and nutrients.

You shouldn't even try to justify that drinking cross-species milk is natural. Because it will never be natural. It is an abomination against nature and against the health of all mammals.

If we killed every animal on the planet we wouldn't have to argue about this anymore.
