A note in the margins

Marginalium
My commentary on something from elsewhere on the web.
“only in very recent years that some people have begun to undermine the absolute prohibition on zoosexuality. Are their arguments dangerous, perverted, or simply wrongheaded? … Do they have a ‘paraphilia’ … Or are they just normal people who happen to have a minority sexual orientation? Given the fraught debates about consent in human-on-human sexual encounters, it is worth asking whether nonhuman animals can ever consent to libidinal relations with humans”
Consensus opinion certainly does not endorse having sex with animals. Bourke is right though that it is strange therefore that we’re happy in the main to endorse factory farming and the conditions that come with it.
