  Well.

  I hate to break it to you… but the whales probably aren’t milked more than once.

  My guess is it’s sold by whalers.

    They talk about their process. It involves a whale harness, and divers to do the milking.

    I’m honest still wondering if this is an elaborate joke 😆

    What do you think happens to dairy cows after their milk production declines? Or their male calves?

    That’d be my bet. I’d bet they aren’t even “milked”. The probably just take it out of the body manually. I assume whales probably carry a lot of milk though, so if someone is killing whales I guess it’s good it’s being used for something… although that gives more profit to the whalers so maybe not.

      According to their process page the whales are guided into a harness and then milked. Whether or not we should believe it, I cannot say.

        The pics of the team seem a bit AI to me, also when googling their names there are no clear links connecting those names to whale dairy besides that website. This (and how unrealistic the process sounds) leads me to believe that this is not real.
