Yeeks.

Not right:
Mother suckles pet monkey

At least she's not suckling her five year old kid, like the lady we saw at the airport McDonald's last year who was suckling her son and then he sat himself up and finished his fries. There is a time to cut the cord when it comes to breastfeeding, and it is months and months prior to the point where your kid can sit comfortably in a normal adult-sized chair and feed himself a happymeal. B Stacy B will back me up.

Ewww! I saw a lady at a restaurant changing her son's diaper in the bathroom. He was like 6. He jumped off the diaper changing table and said "Mom, I'm hungry". If they can do that they're way too old for diapers.

Triple Yuck-to all those stories.
Atleast if you're going to do that don't do at a McDs where people are having enough of a hard time getting the food down.

this is exactly why i'm 100% against breastfeeding. it might be natural, but it's fucked up.

and if you don't like it, all you militant mom's can suck it! well, not literally...

There is something about breastfeeding older kids like that, that totally creeps me out. I mean, it's one thing when it is an infant but I get completely grossed out when it is a child over a year old. In my opinion, of course.

It looks like this monkey could sit up and help himself to some fries at the airport McDonald’s so this scenario is doubly worse. There is no good reason this monkey needs to be breast fed, none at all. And speaking of old, doesn’t this woman appear to be past her best breast feeding years??

I'm with kristina. The notion of "feeding" is a foundation of the term "breastfeeding." When feeding isn't part of the equation, the conduct is "breastslurping."

Irrespective of the merits of such conduct, society has a strong interest in discouraging its public display. And when the public slurping of hoo-has involves two different species (or one person between the age of 12 months and puberty, the other person not), the law should allow for some sort of violent public vigilantism. A Singapore-style caning of this monkey-philic freako would be a good start.

ewww McDonalds!

Ref to what danceswithtrout says: Breastfeeding is also refered to as nursing which means its more than just food. Babies suck for comfort as well as nourishment.

I'm way more grossed out by a 3 or 4 year old with a pacifier than I am with a breastfeeding toddler/preschooler.

Just a note on the first comment about being too old for diapers: Just be aware it could be a handicapped kid wearing those size 28 diapers.

a former neighbor was at my doorstep when her son, (who was old enough to be in the yard playing by himself) ran up, said "I'm thirsty!" and lifted her shirt up and went to town. I was more than mortified.

Becky, with all due respect: If you have a problem with a toddler using a pacifier why then don't you have a problem with a child using his mom's breast AS a pacifier? You said nursing is just for comfort, right? Just a question...

Oh, and I actually saw a child change their own nasty 10 pound Pull-Up one time. If your child can take off the Pull-Up, dispose of it in the trash can, get themself a new one out of the diaper bag and put it on you MIGHT want to consider potty training.
