"I like to think I'm fairly open minded, but I can't abide cruelty to any animal."

My reaction stemmed from this statement, which struck me as trying to condemn all beastiality as abuse, which is about on par frankly with calling all sadomasochistic activity abuse. It's bollocks.

I'm not asking everyone to like it, this is obviously not for everyone. And yes it's illegal in many locations. And I will be the first in line that there are gray areas as far as consent goes, especially if we're talking female animals.
