I mean, it's not really bestiality if it isn't sexual. A gynocological exam also isn't fingering.
A gynaecologist "treats" the patient, benefitting the patient.
Forcibly impregnating someone is also called rape.
Artificial insemination is a treatment.
If the recipient asked for it and the donor is giving it out of free will with the explicit intention then yes it is a medical treatment.
With humans yes, but in the case of non-human animals these decisions are up to the owner.
edit: clarification for the ultra-dense.
You are aware humans are animals? The differentiation "human" is artificial and made up...
non-human animals ... I didn't think it needed spelling out.
Not a vegan but if you think what happens to cows is a medical "treatment" then you are a dumbass
it is not a needed treatment for the health and well being of the cow, it is a unecessary treatment forced upon the animal
It is rape!
Remember there have been at least one-doctor that did this to women, not in his offices to become pregnant (warning, SP?). A famous case was a doctor that raped/impregnanted (SP?) a lot of women looking to become mothers, with his own sperm. The obvious results/proof came after birth,
Artificial insemination without consent is rape. Natural insemination without consent is rape.
Cows cannot give consent to humans. No animal can. Hell, even if we discovered another human-like species but couldn't have meaningful communication with them, it'd still be rape.
Key word.
It's not rape if it's your dog
I would really like to see you try to get your dog pregnant.
There's websites for that.
If it applies to one animal it should apply to all, but go ahead and be a special snowflake instead
no. different things are different.
The attitude of someone who mistreats animals ☝️
I don't mistreat animals. this is libelous.
Like, what a fucking stupid answer that can apply to anything and nothing at the same time.
Animals are animals, and humans are animals. Kangaroos are not cows, but both are also animals - different things ARE different, but at the same time, in some aspects, they are not.
Pretty fucked up to try to equate animal husbandry with rape.
If you believe that animals should have rights like humans do, then animals can be raped. If slavery was still legal, would you write "it's pretty fucked up to equate slave husbandry with rape"? Just because we have historically done something, that doesn't mean that what we're doing is in any way moral.
Animals can have rights and be protected from unnecessary cruelty without anthropomophizing them and granting full human rights. You're equating full, sapient humans with a species specifically bred for a base purpose without higher levels of thought and expression.
I don't even think that statement is anthropocentric hubris. If ultra-advanced aliens showed up tomorrow and started domesticating humans for food or some other purpose, I would have the default expectation of them having the same or similar morals. Maybe we'd get access to decent healthcare and good libraries before we went to the slaughterhouse.
Cows get more rights than trees or crops because they have an ability to express pain and convey emotion. They don't have the same rights as humans because they could never give a passionate argument for suffrage to a jury.
And to be clear: there are plenty of real, tangible reasons to end animal husbandry and make everyone vegan without even touching philosophy.
Your ancestors, probably
Kind of racist to suggest that slaves were a different species
It is sexual, it sounds like they jack them off to acquire genetic material to impregnate the female livestock with
Trying to be "facts forward" so make of this what you will. Source: I was in FFA in highschool in a beef intense-ish area.
The method of collecting semen I'm most familiar with is when they take a female cow in heat and tie her up, then bring a male bull they want to collect semen from into the same pen. The male will smell the female is in heat, gets erect, and will attempt to mount her.
As the male is trying to mount the female, people in the pen with the cattle will have a large rubbery "sleeve" on a pole (imagine a cow sized condom on a stick) that they will maneuver around the bull's penis as it mounts the cow. He does his thing in the condom thinking he's inside the female (usually less than 30 seconds) dismounts and then the ranchers have their semen for artificial insemination.
I've been out of that area for over a decade now so a new method may have emerged since then, but in my Animal Sciences class, that's how we were taught semen is harvested for most livestock.
Edit: I distinctly recall the "artificial vagina" being on a stick (and laughing about it in class), but best video I can find on the quick: https://youtu.be/-4ma3WeOxbo
TBF that one sounds like no lines are crossed
Eh, I feel like the female cow is still getting a raw deal. Less raw than the classic "breed this bull with this cow" arrangement, but still somewhat not good.
Unless they are jacking off themselves at the same time, it's not sexual.
I get what you're saying but it's sexual assault, no?
No.
If I were to artificially inseminate a woman with sperm from a spermbank without her consent, would that be sexual assault?
Unless that women is a literal cow, yes.
right mate, I am sure you can draw any equivalences with bestiality and such yourself, so I won't explicate on them. I just want to say, you don't have to defend the man-made horrors within our comprehension of animal product industries if you don't want to be a vegan. I am not a vegan, because I can't afford to. You can just say "that shit's fucked up".
There is a lot of horrible things in animal agriculture, this one isn't really one of them. I've seen the process with my own eyes ... the cows don't care, they barley notice. I feel more for the people who have to do that professionally.
Is artificial insemination of livestock sexual assault?
...
Yes, it is.
It is sexual abuse on Living Beings, let alone sexual.
If non-human animals cannot consent, isn't all sex between any two non-human animals rape?
If that's the case, isn't this preferable to just letting the animals just rape each other indiscriminately?
Aka the nudist defense.
Is your gynecologist jerking you off?
Eww, no. Gross.
My gyno jerks off my cows like a civilized person.
I'm not sure on the specific definition of "bestiality" and whether "sexual pleasure of the executing party" or whatever you want to call it is a necessity, but consent should certainly be a part of it.
Animals are, similar to children, students etc, fundamentally incapable of giving consent. If your gynecologist sticks a finger up your vagina without your consent, then it's rape.
