      I could imagine the dairy and veal industry being a very sore subject for cows in zootopia, and casual references to dairy products might be a painful barb for them.

          It is, but they retain the same names as dairy products did. If it was option 4, the cows in society would be separate from the milked creatures, so they might be totally unaffected by thinking about the dairy industry. It is unpleasant for different reasons, though

            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.
