Sorry für den Doppelpost, hab noch was schönes gefunden:
"The moral problem with human beings' consorting with animals, Mr. Singer suggested, is not human indignity and depravity but rather cruelty to animals. But as he put it, ''Sex with animals does not always involve cruelty.'' And if cruelty is the problem, isn't raising them to kill them generally worse than coupling with them? The San Francisco Chronicle summed up Mr. Singer's position on animals thus: ''You can have sex with them, but don't eat them.'' [...]
Ingrid Newkirk, the president of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, not only stood by Mr. Singer but also imagined a few perfectly innocent human-animal sex acts: ''If a girl gets sexual pleasure from riding a horse, does the horse suffer? If not, who cares? If you French kiss your dog and he or she thinks it's great, is it wrong? We believe all exploitation and abuse is wrong.'' But she added, ''If it isn't exploitation and abuse, it may not be wrong.''
Mr. Singer said the fuss over his review was largely ''hysterical'' and a big waste of time. ''This country is in the grip of a Puritan worldview,'' he added. When it comes to bestiality, the stakes are relatively small: while factory farming kills billions of animals a year, he said, human-animal sexual interactions involve only hundreds or thousands."

können - wie Menschen -, ist unbestritten. Das heißt aber noch lange, dass dies bei sexuellen Handlungen zwangsläufig der Fall sein muss - wie bei Menschen.
