2. Papua New Guinea women breastfeed pigs
What you’re looking at is considered normal among certain indigenous tribes throughout New Guinea. Are the pigs getting hungry? No problem… Susan will go out and feed ‘em.

4. Kate Garraway Posed Feeding a Calf to Promote a Documentary on Wet Nurses Called OtherPeople’s Breast Milk
Here’s food for thought: why is it accepted for a cow to breastfeed our children, while the idea of a woman breastfeeding a calf is seen as absurd? Does it violate the rules of nature? Why, then, are we giving our children cow milk if interspecies feeding is so appalling? These are some of the questions that Other People’s Breast Milk explores… and, as might be expected, there was massive outcry over the promo picture above.

Kura “Kat” Tumanako has a baby girl (named Honey Pauline) and a bull terrier puppy. They’re like brother and sister… sort of. To make up for the differences in appearance, Kat is trying to solidify the brother-sister bond by breastfeeding them both. It remains to be seen whether the idea worked.
8. Woman Breastfeeds Endangered Golden Monkey
You can count the number of golden monkeys in the world on one hand. If it wasn’t for Mrs. Chen Yongiian, we would all have to fold over yet another finger.

Mrs. Youngiian agreed to feed the monkey indefinitely, diminishing the chance of his sickness.

In the 1930’s, the “Pennsylvania Mountain Lady” epitomized the savage lifestyle of America’s hillbillies. But what’s so wrong about breastfeeding deer next to your child? Then again, don’t answer that.Hans Proebsting said...
- Number 12 is more likely a New Guinea Highlander. Judging from the bilum being worn by the lady at the back, I would suspect West Papua. Definitely not Amazonian.
