    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 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.
