Probably the same as who gets milked in real life. Animals drink milk too I don't understand why people are constantly thrown off by this, it's just as normal if not more normal to drink milk in the animal kingdom.

It's not the drinking milk thats weird. It's the fact that they would have to be farming milk from intelligent animals to get it. Like if cows could talk and were as smart as humans I think people would find farming milk from them a little weird.

The milk drinking is just as weird, since no other animal continues drinking milk after passing their baby state. Only humans do that.

any predator will eat lactating mammaries. birds and reptiles are also known to drink mammalian milk.

Not as strange as Mongolians, who drink horse blood.

This is not even close to true. Even adult cows will occasionally grab a sip from another cow or even themselves.
