Yes, I'm sure it's an attempt to draw attention to their cause. It worked for me... This was my thought process, and maybe it was just what they are going for:

1. Has to be a joke.
2. How gross and ridiculous.
3. Besides, they could never get that much milk from women.
4. They'd have to have factories with rows of women sitting with their breast pumps, pumping all day long. How demeaning. No one would want to do that.
5. Hmm, we do that with cows. Cows probably wouldn't do it either if they had a choice.
6. Well, okay. I guess where they're coming from, but I will still drink cows' milk that comes from the most humane source possible.

True, the extreme animal rights people are nuts. Just like extremists of any view, really. Did anyone see the reports that Pamela Anderson's claimed she didn't know her Uggs are made of animal products? Give me a break.
