| According to the roman mythology, the founders of Rome were Romulus and Remus. The twin-brothers were the supposed sons of the god Mars and the priestess Rhea Silvia. The story begins with the deposition of Numitor (their grandfather and king of the ancient Italian city of Alba Longa), by his brother Amulius. Numitor's daughter, Rhea Silvia, was made a Vestal Virgin by Amulius - which meant that she was made a priestess of the goddess Vesta and therefore forbidden to marry. However, the god Mars came to her in her temple and with him she conceived her two sons, Romulus and Remus. As soon as they were born, her husband abandoned them in a remote location. This practice was a form of quasi-infanticide tolerated in many ancient cultures, including the Roman and Greek, when children were unwanted. They were unwanted because Amulius was fearing that the boys would grow up to overthrow him, so he had them placed in a trough and thrown into the River Tiber. At that time the river was flooded and when the waters fell, the trough still containing the two boys, came ashore. They were found by a she-wolf, who instead of killing them, looked after them and fed them with her milk. The she-wolf was helped by a woodpecker who brought them food as well. Interesting enough both these animals were sacred to Mars. |

KOAK ROKA, Cambodia—A Cambodian man says his young grandson has lived partly on milk he suckles directly from a cow since the boy's parents left their rural village in search of work.
Um Oeung says 20-month-old Tha Sophat started suckling the cow in July after he saw a calf do the same.
Um Oeung told The Associated Press he pulled the boy away at first. He relented after his grandson protested loudly and the boy has suckled the cow's milk once or twice a day since then.
Tha Sophat has lived with his grandparents in Siem Reap province in northwest Cambodia since his parents moved to Thailand in search of work.
Um Oeung said Friday the cow doesn't mind the young boy suckling but he is worried about his grandson's health if he continues.

Oh I am so touched by this story. These poor children will be in heaven while those rich people will be in hell.
It's strange in Khmer society know because ah Hun's reign the country. Srok khmer will be melt down like hell because of sin created by Hun's family.
Raw cow milk is good for the boy's health. I rather drink raw milk, though I don't drink much milk as it is because raw milk is not available.
raw milk is herb to heal body system .I truly believed that the boy will be strong and healthy .
shameful for government to claim prosperity and see the boy suckles the cow on the world news.

I understand your point.. but will you suckle directly from cow nipple like this if you think is good?
This is not about milk... it's about society. The society in Cambodia is run by Hun family... that's why..Khmer will be in chaos very soon.. because sin from the leaders.
