What consequences are involved here, though? With two different species, there's no chance of pregnancy. Animals also don't have complicated systems of morals relating to sex, so it's not like the dog's going to be excommunicated by the First Church of Canis Major or anything.
There certainly are consequences. Four years ago, my cousin's three year old daughter started playing with our male dog's "privates". For the next three hours, the dog avoided this girl by either laying down to protect his privates, or by retreating. It was quite obvious that he did not appreciate this sexual assault. Furthermore, dogs belonging to zoophiles turn mean, really mean. They become so unrecoverable that it becomes necessary to have the dog put down. Being used in this manner is something that does incredible harm to dogs. This is serious.
The thing that bothers me most, though, is that if you want to get our anonymous zoophile friend up there to see your point of view, and have any hope of changing his mind, .
There's about as much chance of talking a zoophile out of molesting animals as there is talking a child molester out of molesting children. Those who would violate a child are cut from pretty much the same cloth as one who would molest an animal: both place the premium on their own selfish gratification, regardless of the hurt inflicted on another. About the only difference is that the zoophile's victims don't testify against him in court. "I don't think it's going to work very well to accuse him of being a violent rapist" Why the H311 not: that's precisely what he is!
