Interesting but kinda "eeewwwwww" as far as writing style and word choice. I think he thought he was being funny to some extent. It does go to show that we do what we do to domestic animals as a matter of course in order to suppress these sexual aspects.

Who doesn’t giggle when they see a small dog humping someone’s leg?

well, me for one. If anyone knows why so many people find this kind of thing funny I'd love to know. I literally cant get my head around it.

This article smacks of english style humour. I cant tell if he's serious or not.

I never really understood it either. I think it is people's mindsets about sex. It is some super special thing that should never be public but then the dog comes over like it is nothing which goes against that idea making them laugh. I think it is for a similar reason that people thinking drawing penises on things is funny. I would not know though as I find neither funny. I have seen people who think even literally being 'raped' by and animal is funny which I thought was pretty messed up. As one zoophile once said, animals are much more mature about sex than humans.

The people at #opbeast would probably euthanize the animals in this article.

So, uh, I should be alright as long as I have enough oxygen, right? Just asking.

I'm not a fan of how it's written, but it's a pretty interesting read. One of the comments that stuck out to me was a person suggesting animals don't have a concept of species. An interesting thought and argument, at least to me.
