Ruleization

We have three options here:
All dairy products are actually non-dairy equivalents that happened to just take the original names.
There are equally intelligent milk-producing species that either keep themselves in a milk producing state or are otherwise forced into said state.
Or
There is an unseen slave caste of lesser intelligent members of species that are harvested for their products.
- Option 1: the best way to do things, but probably counts as a microaggression
  Option 2.1: probably what Disney would go with
  Option 2.2: the fanfiction explanation
  Option 3: the grimdark version
  
  Perhaps it was option 2 or 3 originally which is why all the names are the same but over time transitioned into option 1 in a sort of abolition movement.
  
  How would option 1 be a microagression?
- lmao #3 is how they do it in bojack horseman. There's an intelligent chicken who has a "lesser" dumb chicken farm
  
  And those "lesser" chickens are created by injecting chickens after birth with something that makes them essentially mentally disabled, though they are still sentient
- based on all the shit that cars 2 not only implies but explicitly shows on screen (genetically inferior racial underclass hell-bent on destruction of the civilised world, engine transphobia, sentient beings welded in place to do their work, force-feeding a man until his heart literally explodes out of his body, cartholicism), i would not at all be surprised if it turned out to be 3.
- Option 4.
  It’s a planet of the apes situation.
- There is an unseen slave caste of lesser intelligent members of species that are harvested for their products.
  This is why you don't see monkeys in zootopia

They keep humans as livestock.
- please, please, do not reply with a link of a fan comic about this,
  i don't want to read it. but I have no self control

  Commenting for the link to the comic... for scientific reasons
  
  i don’t want to read it. but I have no self control
  Here you go
  
  You want to willingly stay uneducated???
- They keep females to keep the numbers up, and males to make ice cream.

Maybe it’s like Beastars where animal products like eggs are just a pretty normal type of labor

Probably the femboys
- Best Milk 😋🤤
  
  Furries AND femboys? So that why it is an utopia

Zootopia? Based on what I've seen online, who's getting milked? Anything that moves.
- There is even spontaneous milkage just squirting around all the time it seems (at least that's what I'm told, by an unaffiliated & deprived third party).
  
  What were they deprived of?

I've had some non dairy ice cream that's pretty good
- So it's the almonds getting milked 🕵️
- Coconut milk?
  
  Coconuts, oats, cashews, almonds. I've heard good things about ice cream that uses avocado as the base too.

There isn't ice cream. They sell water based flavoured ice. Don't know what the English word for that is.
- I think snowcone if it's crushed ice with flavour syrup added (though Snowcone might be a brand name that Americans just use for all of them)
  Or sorbet if it's frozen fruit puree
  Was thinking of th giant ice block at first, forgot about them scooping health code violations
  
  What about these? Especially the one on the left? They aren't snowcones or sorbets. You might say popsicle but that leaves out the one on the left.
  Someone said water ice. And that's the same we call them in German. But I've never heard that word anywhere. Maybe it's a UK thing or so.
- In the US, I've heard it called shaved ice/snow cone if it's freshly ground ice with flavor added by a person, popsicle if it comes in a single serving, and sorbet (often pronounced "sherbert") if it comes in a tub. Usually sorbet tastes the most uniform and has the softest texture, but shaved ice at the County Fair on a hot sunny day hits like nothing else! (Also hits your wallet like nothing else too but that's event pricing for ya)
  Sometimes we call the squeeze tubes otter pops but I'm pretty sure that's a brand name we use as a generic term.
  
  sorbet (often pronounced “sherbert”)
  Sorbet and sherbert also called sherbet) are actually different. Sorbet is just fruit puree with sugar and water as needed. Sherbert also contains dairy, which adds fat and gives it a richer texture.
- You mean popsicles?
  
  But popsicles can be made with ice cream. Or are these called something else?
- Sorbet
- Ice lolly.
- Literally called water ice
  
  Not to be confused with water ice, which is just ice.
- Shave ice?
- Gelato ?
  
  Gelato is explicitly creamy.

Also why does Mickey Mouse keep Goofy's intellectually disabled relative as a pet? It's the sort of messed up thing I'd do, but not suitable for a children's character.

The almonds

Vegan?

No, no, ...
The question (and shorter answer) is who isn't getting milked.

We have human milk ice cream, why do you think it’s weird in Zootopia to have milk from other mammals
- (The unironically correct answer imho, it's just labour/a service of someone, same as manufacturing, or art. Basically analogous how bees could sell/give/share honey surplus.)
