[Peta] Take a Stand Against Cruel Animal Tests. Zoophilia

[Guest guest]

Hello all

 

I was interested to hear a rumour that PETA advocates

zoophilia/bestiality (human sex with animals). Surely this is not the

case.

 

From what I understand, even though an animal may not be harmed

physically, and that animals may even appreciate the affection (the

pro-pedophile argument), it is surely not in the best interests of the

animal to have sexual relations with it.

 

If zoophilia is legalized, then animals (just like infants) are left

completely defenseless. People will abuse the rights of animals, and

animals will suffer as a result.

 

What are your views?

 

Regards

Chris
