I will agree that the writer of this is not looking at both sides or perspectives of this situation; if bestiality were legalized (sex acts with animals) it would open up doors for certain individuals that shouldn't own animals in the first place; people that may be abusive or sadistic may get away with abusive acts if these laws are taken away or they'll see it as grounds to cause harm because they believe there will be no penalties..
All of which is not something we as zoos should want to happen.. we should be about protecting animals from harm, that should be the highest priority here; after all doesn't being zoophile entitle that you are a lover of animals??.. so what if there is laws that say you can't unzip your pants and screw the pooch, those laws were made for a reason; truth is the laws aren't directed to zoophile's only; we are not the main focus; the main use of these laws is to prevent zoosadists from causing physical harm to animals with forceful acts..
On the other hand if the laws were modified with strict requirements such as requirements for proof of abuse it would be "just" for zoos and still punish cruelty to animals as these laws were intended to do; will it ever happen?? Probably not but it is a slight possibility; look at Canada and their legalization of certain acts of bestiality such as oral.. Should we be risking our asses to bring change though??? No it's not worth it unless you live in a state where there is very little to no penalties for zoophilia, even then it's still a risk not worth taking...
The main reasons bestiality is still illegal and has been for a long time is religious views; the fact that it's taboo and different (the eww factor) and the fact that people believe animals are lesser beings that don't have the ability to consent to sex; but the biggest reason is that animals have been severely injured by zoosadists and behavior such as that has to be punished.. now on the subject of zoophiles that have consenual sex trying to get rights...
It's very unlikely to work.. Let's just put it this way; you could give all the proof and knowledge you could possibly come up with of why consenual zoophilia isn't wrong to someone that is non zoo, but if they aren't ready to accept it or are against it; that information will go in one ear and out the other, no matter how obvious it is that alot of zoosexual acts are consenual and rarely cause harm..
Fact is People will only understand from their point of view it's basic psychology; if someone isn't ready to believe something they will not believe it, no matter what you do; fact is its common for people to dislike people that have sex with animals; they have been taught it's wrong, our sexuality will never truly be acceptable; it is the reality of things; either accept it or risk getting caught trying to fight it....
