Bestiality is defined as sexual relations between a person and an animal; : sodomy.
Having sex with animals was originally linked to people living in rural areas where they were around livestock, and there may have been fewer women. In today’s world it has become something else, and that is, people who actually prefer to have sex with animals over human beings. It has been reported that Bestiality involves roughly 8 percent of men, and 4 percent of women .
In 1948, Wardell Pomeroy and Clyde Martin, Sexual Behavior in the Human Male (W. B. Saunders) wrote that 50% of the population of America mostly young male farmers, claimed to have had sexual contact with various species of animals (Saunders, Year ). Today people actually have

Bestiality is about human and animal, are the animals victimless . There is no certain age or population that this addiction serves more of than the other. These are some of the different demographic categories of zoophiles found through websites: "white, black, Asian, Mormon, Amish, Catholic, atheist, pagan, Jewish, male, and female, and those who are legally blind ." Zoophile’s say this is not a fetish, it is the life-style of one who has a loving, and a sexual fondness for animals. Those who engage in sexual intercourse with animals practice what is called beast sex, which is a fondness towards animals in an intimate and loving way (love and sexual attraction to animals ). Bestiality was first introduced into the field of human sexuality research in 1886 . Since the 1990’s bestiality has been considered an alternative sexual orientation, (cited by Miletski, 1999). The population of bestiality compare themselves to the GLBT LBGTQ population, because they feel they are subject to the same retributions as homosexuality. They feel they have the right to their own sexual orientation, and hope to find an open-minded ally in the gay rights movement to support that, and become part of the bestiality rights movement .
Some say human-animal relationships are unequal relationships, ; some view this as taking advantage of minor boys or girls. Animals like
Almost everyone loves the sight of animals, or at least one in particular. We do not mean to think down on animals or take superiority over them, but it is the truth, it happens. Even though it should not happen, it does. Animals and humans should be equal in rights and superiority. We should also stop treating them as if all animals are pets because in reality, wild is wild. Feeding animals as if they are pets, just to get close to them, is
Another source states that “One survey says that a history of animal abuse was found in 30 percent of convicted child molesters and 36 percent of domestic violence offenders” (Dopplr). Many people do not value animals as much as humans because animals do not reason, think or feel pain like humans do. “Owners often neglect their pets because they don’t understand their pets’ needs”(American Humane). Animal abuse is not considered a violent crime because animals are considered property, even though animals feel a range of emotions. If the law on animal abuse was changed to a harsher punishment, people might then be less likely to commit the crime. People abuse animals generally because they are angry or seek the attention of their fellow peers. Dogs are the animals that suffer the most abuse because they are ferocious and people like to fight them for money. “From ` fighting to the general neglect just mentioned, approximately 64 percent of reported cruelty involves dogs” (Benthem). Sometimes animal abuse is not always reported for the reason that people are scared to act upon it. Abuse does not have to be physical harm it can also be when animals have inadequate food or water or left out in harsh environments. Many people do not realize that they are abusing the animal by not having enough food or water. There are restrictions on
Eating animals is normal for any carnivore, but abuse to these animals is unacceptable. There are religions and traditions when it comes to eating and killing animals, usually to be viewed sacred and not like they are nothing. Humans have morals and traditions that separate barriers with farm animals and pets.
ear Editor, In the article published “A Change of Heart About Animals.” In there, the author Jeremy Rifkin states that “ [Animals] they feel pain, suffer and experience stress, affection, excitement, and even love- these findings are changing how we view animals.” I agree with this pretty bold statement and I feel like many parts of society are very neglecting towards animals and how they are treated, there needs to be a change. Like Rifkin said, many animals in our daily lives are like people in more ways than one.
Eating animals poses two moral questions. Is it wrong to raise and kill animals simply because humans enjoy the fleeting taste of their flesh? Do our differences from these animals justify their slaughter? The response to both of these questions is simple. Never. Many people believe that their superiority over animals is a justification to eat them. Animals have been traditionally defined as slaves and non-rational beings without moral reasoning, but these beliefs have been refuted for centuries.Even if these claims were true, these differences should encourage more, not less, moral consideration since they gather that animals cannot give or withhold their consent or
Animal abuse is when someone mistreats or inflicts pain on an animal. Even not feeding them is a form of animal abuse. Animal abuse is a major problem in America. When looking at why animals are treated the way they are today, it is important to think about the history of animal abuse, the rate at which animal abuse is reported, why people mistreat animals, and current animal rights advocacy groups.
In the article Rifkin argues that animals “feel pain, suffer and experience stress, affection, excitement and even love”(Rifkin 1). Which is why we create animal cruelty laws that grant many of these creatures the rights that we would expect ourselves, essentially to preserve and protect these animals and diminish their misfortunes. Having owned numerous animals during my life I can say the bonds I developed for them was comparable to the same amount of love I have for my family member, I cherished them everyday, they enjoyed the interaction I gave them and ultimately they showed me affection. The reality is animals are all important to us whether it's on an emotional standpoint or to the ecosystem they live in. Currently we are witnessing the Holocene extinction event because we are disregarding the necessity of the animal life and only valuing our own, life on earth wouldn't be the same without their
Inconsistencies in attitudes and behaviors towards animals largely accounts for why animals are a social issue. In the Article Having Our Dogs and Eating Them Too: Why Animals Are a Social Issue by James A. Serpell various excerpts are presented in order to represent topics such as the reasons behind animal beliefs and their uses, aspects of the “benefits” animals present, and views of the putative relationship between animal abuse and interpersonal violence. Both Internal and external factors affecting how people use animals and their beliefs regarding human-animal relationships are presented in the article. Internal factors include things such as human superiority and the mental capacity of animals. External factors include group membership
The origin of the association between animal abuse and domestic violence remains unclear as do the factors that make the connection. This connection between the cruelties could be better understood in a larger context of the human-animal bond. “The evidence demonstrating the importance of the human-animal bond in human functioning and well-being will make the strong relationship that many battered women have with their pets understandable” (Domestic Violence and Animal Cruelty). Animals are a part of the home environment of humans. The bond shared between women and their pets make it possible for abusers to control women by abusing their pets. “The link between animal abuse and women
Early efforts to understand the range of human sexual behavior came from European doctors and scientists, including Sigmund Freud and Magnus Hirschfield (American Psychological Association, (APA), n.d). Sexuality is an important aspect of a person’s identity. Many challenges had were overcome for the LGBT population to express that part of their identity.
It is not okay to be subjective towards animals and treat them less than human beings. Since they feel emotions such as pain and pleasure it is not right to subjugate animals to cruel punishments or torture, because just as humans, we cannot take the suffering. It is a curiosity whether people who eat, test, or kill animals for enjoyment or for work, are as corrupt as a racist or sexist.
If any zookeeper is intentionally abusing animals in their care, then I believe they should be shut down immediately. No animal deserves that kind of treatment because it is inhumane and in this situation they deserve a better life in the wild. If all zoos permitted this kind of animal abuse, then I would full heartedly agree with Animal rights activists. But all zoos are not like this, and I believe that they are a safe and great place for animals to live. People can go a short distance to a local zoo and get to experience and connect with the natural world. If someone wanted to see an elephant, they wouldn’t have to look at pictures or go to Africa, but instead take a short drive. Thanks to zoos, anyone can see exotic animals in highly realistic habitats and learn more about how they
Unfortunately today there are many cases of animal abuse happening around the world. Animal cruelty or animal abuse can be defined as the infliction of suffering or harm upon animals for purposes other than self-defense. There are many different types of abuse such as using animals for research, using animals for entertainment purposes, abandoning animals to shelters, and animal neglect. We need to raise awareness and find a solution to these issues. Animals are suffering and we need to help them.
A Judeo-Christian interpretation from the Bible stated that “dominion over animals meant that any degree of exploitation was acceptable has changed for most people to mean that each person has responsibility for animal welfare (Aquinas T., 2006).”
Also, zoophilia isn't globally illegal. In-fact only 37 states of the USA banned zoophilia, and even less have high level charges. Do people think that anyone that performs zoophilia is grabbing animals and choking them into consent? If you do think this is true, then please revise your "facts", and ask/read yourself the following: (1) Why can people be arrested for "animal cruelty" if they themselves are presenting themselves to an animal (If you don't understand: humans will present themselves, generally to male animals, and if the animal accepts, also known as consenting, they will proceed to mount and "dominate" their human). (2) Why do you think animals don't run from a human when a human tries to perform a sexual act on them, such as, a blowjob, fingering, and fucking? As a human approaches an animal in a sexual fashion, they don't just grab the animal and slam themselves into them, as this is dangerous and can cause pain to the animal, and the animal will also panic and attack, but instead they very slowly rub the shaft or vagina of an animal to state that they want the animal, but they won't take them. After enough rubbing eventually the animal understands what is happening, and they will prepare themselves. A male dog will wait for the human to assume a position, as you can train animals to have sex the way you want it instead
