Wet-Nursing that'll blow your tiny minds....

Sooo, I was using a search engine to find some pics of animals breastfeeding, I was expecting animals nursing their own babies......look at some of the images that showed up ;-0
Oh my golly gosh!!!!!
Ummm....not sure what my thoughts are, I'm not disgusted in it, but am a little taken back by it. 
I have cross-nursed 3 children who were not born to me, but hmmmm, not sure about crossing over into the animal kingdom! lol
Have a squiz for yourself.....

ok that is disgusting..... there is no reason to feed another species unless for there own personal enjoyment.. i hope the animals bite there nipples off.. freaks.

Own personal enjoyment?
Freaks?

Geez, I think I obviously underestimated your open mindedness Ebz, and I take it that this pretty much sums up what you honestly thought of my own cross-nursing. That's dissapointing, but I guess we can't all have the same views.
Personally, I looked at these and noticed that majority of the women are tribal/native/indiginous, however you want to label them, they are from cultures that are not tainted like the western world. Their boobs are not sexualised, as you can clearly see from the completely topless shot, her boobs aren't hidden simply coz they're not concidered "rude bits" that need to be covered.
When I did this blog, I was taken back by the shots, but not disgusted, while not sure whether I could do that myself. Today, having found that possum, I know my answer. Had it taken anymore then the two hours that it did, for the lady from wildlfe care to get here, I had already pondered over expressing some of my own breastmilk to give the little critter some nurishment. It seemed distressed, and had this turned into an overnight stay with us, I am positive that offering it my own breastmilk would have been what I would have done.
It's there, why not?
Does that make me a freak?
So be it.

your responce just made me laugh jen.. how the hell was that a personal attack on you... i cant believe you just saw that as that... over reacting much??
i hardly call feeding another HUMAN the same as feeding a monkey or a cat, cmon on now your being a bit stupid and by assuming i thought you were a freak like i have labelled them on your cross nursing adventures and that has pissed me off, i offered u nothing but support when everyone else persecuted you for it and turned there backs on you, but hey think what you like, as i said to you i would happily feed a child in need without second thought... not a fucking ANIMAL...expressing milk to feed it sure, but no way for safetys sake if nothing else would i let an animal attatch itself to me, thats just going way to far in my opinion.

Likewise, it's pissed me off that you have responded like this.
I'm NOT stupid and I'm not ok with you laughing at my reaction, that's nasty.
You may not have directed the label "freak" AT me, but none the less, it's almost as ignorant a view as those horrid people who labelled me a freak. As I already said....majorit of these are women who's society has not sexualised breasts, so their view of what their breasts are for are completely different to the society we live in.
The only freaky thing about breasts in my own opinion is the people who are sexually obsessed with them....makes me wonder if they were weaned too soon ;-P
