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.

According to their process page the whales are guided into a harness and then milked. Whether or not we should believe it, I cannot say.

The pics of the team seem a bit AI to me, also when googling their names there are no clear links connecting those names to whale dairy besides that website. This (and how unrealistic the process sounds) leads me to believe that this is not real.
