OK , I will throw my 2 cents in here on this one. I know of three species
that drink the milk of another species without technology or human
intervention. My border collie, with no encouragement from me, decided to
nurse two very young kittens we brought into our home. Also, my friend was
just telling me her baby horse, who was put in with the cows, nursed
regularly from a mama cow. I have seen dogs ( puppies) try to nurse from a
cow -although i can't tell you if it was a success- but the attempt was
there. Of course, most dogs and cats will drink it if offered.

All in all, I still am not a big proponent of milk in general (other than
breast milk for babies) , but do occasionally eat raw goat cheese. For
those that do well with it -great! However, I do think you are the
exception rather than the rule.

I am quite intolerant of cow milk (gassy rumbling within the hour, diarrhea
and flatulence-yippee!) and have gotten gastroenteritis (food poisoning)
from raw cow's milk  twice as a child.
