Published 2019: Bestiality Is Much More Widespread Than You Think [PHIL-OSOPHY]

[P]eople having sex with animals is much, much more common than you think!…
It’s actually legal in places like Washington, D.C. (go figure), West Virginia, Kentucky, New Mexico, and Wyoming. The famed sexual researcher Alfred Kinsey estimated that eight percent of men and 3.6 percent of women engage in some sort of sexual activity with an animal, and that study was conducted back in the 1940s. The Journal of Sexual Medicine found that about 34 percent of men in Brazil, mostly from rural homes, had sex with animals quite often…
Today, a whole sub-culture of people are engaging in sexual activities with animals and refer to themselves as “zoos.” There are internet forums whose purpose is to share their animal stories and exchange advice. One of the largest sites is BeastForum that boasts over 1.2 million registered members and more than that in unregistered members…
Bestiality events are organized on animal sex farms or bestiality brothels, and like a Nevada prostitute ranch, groups of animals are corralled for viewing and then the cowboy and cowgirls just mosey on down their happy trails.
If you are a true animal lover, we need to start talking more openly about zoophilia.
Almost any internet search engine will lead you to very graphic and disturbing material describing and promoting the sexual abuse of animals…Detailed how-to guides for the sexual abuse of animals involving a variety of species can be found on the internet, along with information on laws, animal transmitted diseases, personal advertisements, “pro-zoophile” resources, and even a model letter for an animal abuser to use to “come-out” to his/her friends and relatives. Many web sites provide links to numerous different pornographic sites that include the sexual abuse of animals. One site provided almost 200 links, and this site alone reports receiving approximately 46,000 visits per day…Many “zoophiles” or “zoosexuals,” as they refer to themselves, spend hours communicating with other abusers in internet chat rooms where…advice is given, and detailed descriptions of abusive activities are shared…
Many abusers fall into one or more of the categories below (adapted from Carol Adams, 1995):
1. Opportunistic/Experimental…the act of a curious youth or a lonely man.
2. Fixated/Primary: In this category of animal sexual abuse, animals are the primary or exclusive focus of a
human’s sexual desires. These abusers often refer to themselves as “zoophiles”… The rationalizations used to justify their actions are the same as those used by pedophiles…
3. Domineering/Sadistic: Batterers, rapists and pornographers may force women, children, and other
vulnerable individuals to have sex with animals in order to humiliate, dominate, control, and exploit the human and animal victims. Children who have been sexually abused may act out their abuse on animals in an attempt to gain a sense of control. Some people may derive sexual gratification from the pain and suffering inflicted while sexually abusing animals. This type of sadistic sexual abuser will probably injure or kill the animal. Any type of animal sexual abuse can involve the use of force and physical violence and may result in the intentional or unintentional death of the animal.
Cases of sexual abuse of animals include many species, both domestic and wild. Dogs and horses are the
most frequently mentioned targets.
