Those opposed to public breastfeeding, may find this equally disgusting

That's just a little *too* off, for me.

I mean: It's not sexual, so it's technically not bestiality - but somehow it just don't seem right.

I don't really care, looks like it helps the animals. :mrgreen:
 
For those people who are opposed to women breast feeding in public, may find this equally disgusting. I am not opposed to public breastfeeding, but I really can't get my mind around this. What are your thoughts?

Cultures differ.

Hunter-gatherer tribes often believe in animism, "the worldview that non-human entities—such as animals, plants, and inanimate objects—possess a spiritual essence."

Based on this belief system all sorts of relationships can exist between humans and nature. This is a tribe that has little contact with the world, and I have no problem with how they live their lives in their natural habitat.

That's, just weird. It's probably a fake, but if it is real, it goes to show the benefit of civilization, that we don't live in the woods treating animals like our children.
 
Ok, as many seem to think this is fake, I went to YouTube and, apparently, there are some women who do breast feed animals. A woman in India breast feeds a calf, there is a woman who breast feeds a monkey and a woman who apparently breast feed a joey (baby kangaroo). Not a rare thing it seems. So, I have to wonder if the original story just may not be a fake.

As long as they're not doing it on the subway or at the table next to me in a restaurant dining room, I don't much care. What people do in the privacy of their jungle home is purely their own business.

I don't believe it's fake - there are many instances in nature where one species cares for and suckles the young of a different species. Dogs and cats have been known to interchange frequently and this type of activity in zoos has occurred over the years. It's not really relevant to the societal norms issue, however.
