'to get milk' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't tell whether it can be defined by this definition.

'animal trainer securing right' is the wordplay.
'animal' becomes 'beast' (synonyms).
'trainer' becomes 'pump' (as in shoes).
'securing' indicates putting letters inside.
'right' becomes 'r' (abbreviation).
'beast'+'pump'='beastpump'
'beastpump' going around 'r' is 'BREAST PUMP'.

'means' acts as a link.
