@ZoocraticMethod There is a difference between moral agency and the moral right to agency. Anthropomorphizing animals does them a tremendous disservice.
@ZoocraticMethod I prefer to live and experience love and sensuality, unburdened by expectations, and preconceived notions but guided instead by safety and sustainability.
@DeadpanSnarker1@DogMikeZC No one can fault his accomplishments or effort. One can still make poor decisions even when their heart is in the right place. We all make mistakes. Taking responsibility, being accountable matter. He violates the rules of DSI and is arbitrary with foundational enforcement.
@LogicThylacine Educational, legal, and psychological resources that are organized in such a way as to be easily findable by newcomers. (We have some of that) There should be a system of accountability where we eliminate the mentality that the end justifies the means.
@zoowithnoname@DogMikeZC Popularity should not be a shield against accountability.
Building a successful group does not abdicate him from the consequences of long stretches of absence or inaction on pressing matters.
Organizationsal secrecy and attitude of "the end justifies the means" have no place.
@shoes67884028 @EveryHourly @hereforthezoo Animals die for more than just food. There are ethical ways to subsist. Do you believe industry recognizes animals as beings worthy of kindness consideration and agency?
@Br14776690Sus You've got it backwards, I'm on *their* side. I afford them kindness, consideration and support their right to exert agency in their lives.
@dogdontconsent @Br14776690Sus Not at all. What it *does* show is that sex is not just for procreation. What drives sexual activity, if not procreation? Could pleasure influence the sexual lives of Kingdom Animalia?
@ZoocraticMethod@Sheppernoodle Actually, I've always viewed the curse of being a zoo to be the sad fact that we often outlive our loves, grief and mourning become familiar partners in life. I willingly pay this emotional price as I live my life for them and their wellbeing.
@ZAgainstGroomrs@ZooeyDotPub I understand the impetus behind your crusade, but in your blind rage, you miss, in this instance, the *encouragement* of continuing the conversation off of the general chat. If you wish to be taken seriously, you really need to present a clearer connection to reality.
@EveryHourly @hereforthezoo I wonder how many animals are killed every year to satisfy humanity's hunger? Point remains, sex is motivated by pleasure, not reproduction. Do you have something against animals enjoying a little strange?
@Mechahorse3030 @LaikaLaGata I doubt you've put in the real work to make any intelligent scientific contribution to psychology or even sexology. Go back to your armchair and stew in your depends.
The whole idea of being dependent on labels, what a crock.
@Captn_hawk@zeta_yena @Zoolandur @ExposeTheFV Well, as long as it's not a disorder, I suppose there's no reason to get help. Thank you for the clarity.
@BanduChomp @Zoolandur What are all these animals thinking, having non procreation sex? You should tell them they should stop immediately!

@Mechahorse3030@Chezetaki@ZoocraticMethod What are noradrenaline, dopamine, and serotonin doing in the brains of dogs? If you deny them their agency, if you deny them emotional lives, then you certainly are an "anti" -at best.
@Mechahorse3030@ZoocraticMethod Funny thing about observations and data, sometimes they do yield an understanding or at least a glimpse into the natural world around us. When people start with the axiom first and then build their "argument," that's when truth can become a casualty.
@Mechahorse3030@ZoocraticMethod Let's see your list and possible mechanisms for this "boatload" of motivations you speak of. Do you have anything new for behavioral biologists? (By boatload, I'm assuming you mean more than 3, 4, or 5?)
