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

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

        Edit: from their FAQ:

        Is this a joke? No, this isn’t a joke, and we’re here to stay.

        Further down the page:

        Treating whales ethically and with respect is our #1 priority. All whales participate on a strictly voluntary basis

        I’m still not convinced it’s real…

        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.

            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.

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