I’m against legalizing bestiality because the animal consent problem hasn’t been solved, but probably actually will be quite soon thanks to Al (at least for the higher animals with complex languages). So why not wait a few more years. I don’t see disgust as a good reason. It was an evolutionary adaptation of the agricultural era against the spread of zoonotic illnesses, but technology will soon make that entirely irrelevant as well.
Thinking killing animals we don’t sustainably farm for food is bad is pretty uncontroversial
Thinking it’s bad: not controversial. Thinking something should actually be done about it: not that popular. Spending money / imposing costly regulation to prevent it: very unpopular.
it’s extremely controversial
