Species specific milk

Each mammal receives milk form its own mother and that milk is species specific, tailor-made for the specific needs for growth and development for that species. In natural surroundings there is little chance to see a baby-animal consuming milk from the mother of another species. Humans don’t think something to be weird fast, so there are quite some orphaned animal babies who are happily drinking at another species mother’s teats. We even harvest tons of milk from cows to feed our own young. Milking human females to feed calves is a not so often viewed picture, although singer Pink doesn’t see that as an impossibility. Why is it then that so many people think it gross to feed a human child human milk from another mother?
