I recall some comic in which the bad guys were demon worshippers who raped animals as part of their rituals.

I was once to a tabletop roleplaying game session, and its plot included a zoophile who was in love with a horse. There was an evil nature spirit prowling around and killing humans, and it manifested and threatened this zoophile, but the horse interceded for him and he was unharmed. It is not exactly something that was displayed by the media, but I think it was worth mentioning.

I'm obliged to mention the stage plays on the subject here, because I think they would otherwise go ignored compared to movies and television. I'll go in chronological order (roughly).

"Equus", by Peter Shaffer, depicts a young man hospitalized after stabbing six horses in the eyes. Through a series of interviews with a psychiatrist, we learn about his troubled childhood, his broken home, his development of feelings for horses religiously and sexually, and the way these things compelled him to act. Needless to say, this is treated pathologically, but the psychiatrist has doubts that trying to change this young man will help him instead of destroying him.

"Sylvia", by A.R. Gurney, is the story of a man who brings home a dog from the park, to the annoyance of everyone else in his life. Unlike the others, this one is explicitly asexual (he has the dog spayed after her first heat), but he is clearly extremely attached to this dog, and defends her passionately even to his wife. There's also the odd sexual joke about the situation, and one character even calls himself a "biophile" to describe his love for nature and animals.

"The Goat, or Who is Sylvia", by Edward Albee, examines a middle-aged man who falls in love with a goat. He eventually confesses this to a friend, and the rest of the play revolves around him explaining himself and dealing with the aftermath. The zoophile here is somewhat sympathetic, trying to explain his love to people who are disgusted and embarrassed by it.

"Awkward Conversations with Animals I've F*cked", by Rob Hayes, is about a man who sleeps with a progression of animals, and his struggles to relate to them the following morning. It's played for laughs, but gets extremely dark by the end.

Overall, zoophilia in plays has so far been treated as a tragic flaw leading to terrible things. I think it should be otherwise, but so far the general public disagrees. I think it could well be treated in a more lighthearted way in a farce, for example, the better to examine these individuals honestly.

In the fourth season of Sailor Moon (SuperS), a child character falls in love with a talking Pegasus. Of course, this is quite innocent. And the horse form is apparently not his true form. She doesn't know that at first, yet she falls in love. The season really focuses on this relationship, even the outro song seems to be about them.

Well:

The famous sheep scene from Woody Allen´s "Everything you always wanted to know about sex". The first mainstream contribution dealing with zoophilia also was the most benevolent... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tzr5Cubph9Y

Australian tv show called "Rake" episode "R v Chandler

It stars Sam Neil the plot consists of Sam Neil's briefcase getting stolen and in side was a video of him his wife and their male german shepard. The video was turned into police and they could not make out Sam Neils wife only him. He was brought up on charges and "Rake" the attorney defended him. One of the attorneys tactics in the case was to force the court to watch the video over and over and over again to prove that "whats the big deal...." it was humorous and quite frank and open. I highly recommend the whole season...

I just made a post about it actually,
