Issues of consent in human-animal sexual relations
==================================================

This essay examines why many people cite consent as the primary
reason for discomfort regarding human-animal sexual relations. It
is specifically concerned with why consent is considered
important in the sexual arena of human-animal relations, but not
for many other areas including reproduction (for example in cases
of artificial insemination or sterilisation), choice of living
arrangements, for which consent is considered important in
human-human relationships. Zoophilia and bestiality are
considered with particular reference to Tim Ingold's model of
trust and domination and Kay Milton's ideas of Egomorphism. The
essay concludes that the study of reactions to zoophilia is
useful in better understanding how people relate to their
environment.
