I can see you have no love for Zoos based in things written on the net, but what you read is only part of the story...
What I have no love for is the conduct. So far as Zoos are concerned, on a personal level, I don't hate them at all. They have nothing to fear from me as I would never physically attack a Zoo. Indeed, I've known exactly who the "Damping Factor People" are for quite some time now. (FYI: the Greek letter zeta stands for something called "damping factor" in electronics.) I just wish they'd stop their selfish exploitation of other animals, that they'd show some real love and respect for their fellow man by applying the same standards to non-Zoos and cease and desist with the trespassing onto others' property to "sex" the livestock, and have more respect for their fellow animals by ceasing inflicting pain and suffering on same.
With their innocence, playfulness, [my animals] are beautiful creatures, and they are just right for me. Intimate love is just one more part of the relationship that we share. I've cried while looking into a [my animal]'s face, seeing their beauty, and feeling their love.. These are things someone just has to experience for themselves to really understand.
If he (you?) was being 100% sincere about this, what I find so ironic is that this individual should have more incentive than ayone else on these boards to oppose this exploitation, and to disassociate himself from zoophiles completely. How does it make him (you?) feel to read about how someone selfishly hurts and exploits another member of "[my animal]"'s co-speciesists? How does it make him (you?) feel seeing his "intimate love" cheapened into a dirty joke on web sites like I linked to? How is it that he (you?) isn't royally pist about these exploiters who don't care whether or not they hurt another of "[my animals]"?
I did exactly what was suggested elsewhere here and checked out some Zoo sites. I certainly had no incentive to do so before. Perhaps the zoo supporters weren't expecting that? So far, I didn't like what I've seen: the rank hypocrisy of their saying that asking to fuxxor another zoo's animals is a big faux pas, but "Fence Hopping" is perfectly OK so long as you don't get caught. I don't like the attitude that doing anything you can to get what you want when you want it is OK. Nor do I like the self-justification of using "love" as an excuse for purely self-serving gratification.
So you tell me: what's the rest of the story?
