    All mammals produce milk, not just cows.

    Assuming zootopia never had a cows milk industry, dairy wouldn’t be wrongly assumed to just mean bovine milk.

      That’s what I’m saying. I’m interpreting “original names” to mean that they used to be made out of cow dairy products (instead of just happening on the same names we use), so option three is the only one where the cows in society might be totally unconnected to the dairy industry.
