    Animals are, similar to children, students etc, fundamentally incapable of giving consent

    Well … I agree with most of your points. But animals are not humans, so consent works fundamentally different. Domestic animals are owned, so humans act as the legal guardian. Yes, there should be regulation regarding general animal welfare.

    But I don’t think artificial insemination of livestock falls into the category of bestiality. It’s a fun meme and shitpost, though.

      I don’t think artificial insemination of livestock falls into the category of bestiality.

      If the perpetrator of the act (or the beneficiaries from the act) derives pleasure from it, isn’t it bestiality?

        I think I know where you’re going with this … mh. Depends of what kind of pleasure. If it’s sexual, that would be bestiality, I guess.

          If someone likes doing it because their arm feels good inside the cow’s anus, fisting a cow wouldn’t be bestiality?

            Sure, but I think there is only a very small number of people that are in this business for that reason. Most of them just want to get their job done.

              Say Alice fists a dog and films it, let’s say she derived no pleasure from fisting the dog, just wanted to get her job done. But she then posts the video online for many others to derive pleasure from it. Did she commit bestiality?
