Yes, but not so much, and only when she wants it ofcourse.
Note that not every zoophile does this.
...What? Just like everyone else?
Or are you asking about sexual contact?
Sexual contact isn't harmful in the first place. (Unless you force it.)
Also, they aren't sex toys and have feelings so it doesn't hurt to be too careful.
But then again, I only finger her and do oral on her.
Really, you acted like we were aliens or something.

Yes, this is a thing
Not everyone does, some people try to pretend they are not a zoophile or just attempt to ignore it. Sometimes, that doesn't exactly work as intended. Other people do act on their impulses but typically with consent of their animal.
I believe this can be split into two categories: physical and mental injury.
Physically hurting a small animal is much easier than let's say a horse, so size does get put into consideration. Even with that, watching and knowing animal signals should solve all problems. This does mean a zoophile would need to know the animal quite well, but I don't think that is much of an issue with most people.
As for mental injury, that is rather simple, paying attention to animal signals and doing everything with consent will minimize any chances.
As a side note, zoophiles do not have to do anything sexual with animals, it is person's decision. The relationship can just be loving and taking good care of your animal(s) and nothing more.

Yep
Yes
I'm always gentle and very careful with her, constantly questioning if she's enjoying it or not and the moment I have any doubt, I'll stop. She's been my everything for so long and she's given me so much in terms of companionship and support. I'd not be able to live with myself if I ever hurt her, the very thought of it makes me sick.

Yes. There's some argument as to whether it's a kink or a full-on orientation, so how much of a thing may vary. But it's not a joke and for some people is as much of their identity as, say, being attracted to human females. That sounds like a difficult path.
Not everyone. For some it's something they fight against , or an attraction that doesn't demand to be acted on. And not everyone can organize their lives and privacy to have a dog (or a horse) in their lives like that.
Animals aren't intelligent but they aren't potatoes. They do communicate! If they don't want to do a thing, they growl, don't cooperate, or act distressed. Obviously we can't totally understand animals, and how can you distinguish an animal being okay with sexual attention from a slavish domestic loyalty? "Consent" is a big subject of discussion in the zoo community, and an ongoing concern. But it's an issue in human society, particularly college campuses. So maybe consent is challenging even when you can allegedly understand your partner.

1.Yes
Impulses, like the impulse to have heterosexual sex? I find the way you ask this question to be quite loaded. But yes, lots of people have sex with animals. Good scientific study seems to find about 4-8% of the population do, but it is really hard to do good science around this topic.
I am far more worried that the fencing for my horse is going to cause problems. I'm curious if you go into the horse riding forum and question the appropriate use of aids, fencing, feeding, and so forth, because those things DO injure horses every day. Sex, not so much. Now, if you are imagining tea cup poodles or chickens or something, yep, most probably would hurt the animal. Sex itself is not a violent act but can be had with violence. I'm curious, do you go out of your way to find meat that has been raised ethically and with concern for the animals physical and metal well-being until the time of death? Are you really so concerned about the animals, or is it the SEX with animals that's the problem?

probably
some of us

Yes
Yes, Carefully and in Consideration of the Animal.
Treat them with Care, Respect and if they say No... Stop.
What? Zoophilia? DUH! Ofcourse it's real! "Uueeehhh are gayz reel :ooo?"
Yes, but not so much, and only when she wants it ofcourse.
