I try to look at all topics reasonably and rationally with an open mind in an attempt to evolve myself and to bring others closer to this kind of mentality too.
Because I often quote myself so that I don't have to write these things again and again I have to search my posts every time I need them.
The search is broken though and the highlight function is premium only so I'll just post them below here.
You can use them too of course. :D
@Atlaswuzhere2 So animals can consent to other activities with humans and to sex with each other, but not to sexual contact with humans? That doesn't make any sense.
@MiataTshi If (A) the human understands an animal, and (B) adapts to the animal's way, and (C) the animal reacts positively, not negatively/apathetic, and (D) no force/extortion/dressage/drug is used, and (E, mostly result of A to D) no harm is risked, then sexual contact is ethically okay.
@flickerminded@Narugit It's not possible to compare animal and human child intelligence because their brains work too differently. That comparison stems from a misinterpreted study from Stanley Coren. He didn't measure intelligence, but trainability, which mostly comes from obedience, not intelligence.
