Breastfeeding a Calf

Bestiality isn’t neat.

There is always something weird going on in India.

I’ve bottle raised a calf. I can’t imagine letting a calf nurse on my own breast. Not for the gross factor, but for the risk of injury factor. A calf nurses WAY too roughly for a human. They suck with major force, even a sickly weak calf would probably be too much for a woman’s breast. And the way they shake their head and rush you, ramming you to take the nipple. Nope no way. I might express breast milk into a bottle to share with the calf, but wouldn’t let it just suckle.

Hahaha @ Arnold.

Yeah, I’d be more worried about the calf just being too rough.

That’s gotta hurt.

What’s sad is “there’s no difference between a calf and an infant”.

Poor Arnold.

Cows aren’t exactly sacred in India, although it depends on where you are and what your definition of sacred is.

Although I do find this weird, I think it’s great actually…
While another commenter said it’s “sad that “there’s no difference between a calf and an infant”", I think the point here is being missed.

This woman values LIFE, wether it’s an infant or cow or whatever. She is doing what she can to help this calf. It’s mother died and this woman has the compassion to try and nurture it. That’s wonderful. Even though the method is kinda gross to my brain. Nevertheless, it reflects something about human nature and our capacity to love and care for other beings.

So there’s my mushy comment for the day!

@ted

you’re taking that calf infant quote too seriously. shut up.
