A collection of information built upon what we believe is the future of the zoo community based upon the mistakes of the past.
What is Zoophilia?
Zoophilia is the sexual attraction to real life animals.Bestiality is the action of having sex with an animal. People can be zoophiles without performing the act of bestiality.It is a lifelong attraction that cannot be "cured".
Attraction =/= ActionHold those accountable for enabling and performing abusive actions.

What is this site for?
I made this site to face current issues related to zoophiles and zoo-adjacent people. I have been witnessing the crumbling of the pro-c zoo community, and the waters rising around it. They are losing ground at an unprecedented rate and seem to be overall oblivious to it. I've been watching the MAP community organize and form definitions that are important and relevant to their community. I've been watching them archive things relevant to their own people. Relevant to MAPs themselves. Not kids. Not some sort of agenda or propaganda. Things relevant to their community and the people within it. I've attempted to find similar things from the zoo community but it is so inundated with a fixation on pornographic content, fetishism, and an obsession with animals at the expense of self identity.Identity Politics
There is a complete unwillingness to work on clear and concise identity definitions for different subsets of zoophilia and how different people should define themselves in an ever growing world of sexual identification in online communities. People need words and labels. They dont have the time to explain paragraphs and paragraphs who and what they are, and nobody reads wordy documents. People need simple images, simple sentences, and simple definitions for identities and ideologies.Anger and Betrayal
The communities people relied on are increasingly hostile (such as the furry community, art community, and most online communities) and abusive. Education is nearly non-existent and agenda is prevalent. People are being labelled as zoophiles who do not even have a sexual attraction to real life animals, and people are being pushed into and relegated towards communities that prey on them. Whether it be the map, paraphile, or the larger zoo community. These are problems with no easy solution, but the abuse needs to stop. The overall issue is bestiality. A divorce from bestiality is the safest route to advocate for acceptance and change.Darkness vs Light
People who participate in the Pro-c zoo community usually have to protect their irl identity for the safety of themselves. They form false identities and whole other personas that are divorced from their real life self. I've noticed quite a few live isolated from the rest of society or only interact with the pro-c zoo community only.

Against sexual contact with animals. This includes bestiality porn. This is based on personal beliefs that may include what others should live up to. There can be any reason behind being anti-contact. PRO-CONTACT (PRO-C):

FLAGS
TRAUMA RECOVERY FLAGThis flag's colors symbolize the sunset and how the sun is setting on trauma related to a person's sexual identity.It is a general flag for all paraphiliacs and sexualities.This flag is for trauma recovery. This flag stands AGAINST conversion therapy. It is a fighting flag for equality in mental healthcare treatment and civility related to that.People should not be mistreated for attractions that they had no choice over. This is the flag that symbolizes the pain people may go through on their own journey to discover themselves and how they are not alone.This is a general flag that can be used by any group.-flag made by RZAF-
ANTI-CONTACT ZOO FLAGThe colors represent:
Peach - the human responsibility for kindness towards animals and each other.
Yellow - sunlight, the animals of the air.
Light Blue - Animals of the water.
Teal -Animals of the land and forest
White - representative of not having sexual contact.The circle represents unity, community, and the inclusion zoophiles themselves.this is the flag for people who choose to not promote bestiality and choose to not practice bestiality. It is also the flag for people who cannot ethically have sexual contact with animals due to size or physical barriers, and wish to not promote bestiality.-flag made by ZAPF coalition-
NON-PRACTICING ZOO FLAGThe colors represent:
Peach - the human responsibility for kindness towards animals and each other.
Yellow - sunlight, the animals of the air.
Light Blue - Animals of the water.
Teal -Animals of the land and forestThe Zeta symbol represents the ZETA principles and the adherence to them. All flags with the Zeta symbol will have that connection. The flag WITHOUT the zeta symbol means the same as the anti-c flag.this is the flag for people who choose to not practice bestiality. It is also the flag for people who cannot ethically have sexual contact with animals due to size or physical barriers, and have no problem with people practicing bestiality.The difference between this flag and the anti-c flag is that it aligns with the zoo community's standards on practicing/non practicing. A zoo who is non-practicing may choose to practice bestiality in the future.The zeta symbol in the mirror is very light yellow to convey that. If you want to display the flag with a completely yellow zeta, that's fine as well.Due to the potential for controversy in the future, the flag may be redesigned if the community feels a need for it to be. Personally my thoughts on the matter should be that people who are zoo's who do not practice bestiality should be able to express themselves with the anti-c color scheme. If people feel differently, I will change it to reflect the community.-flag made by ZAPF coalition-
ZOO COMMUNITY FLAGThe colors represent:
Brown - Animals of the earth
Green - Animals of the water
Blue - Animals of the sky.The Zeta symbol represents the ZETA principles and people who adhere to them. All flags with the Zeta symbol will have that connection. Or are supposed to.this is the flag that originated in the zoo community and was made by the zoo community. The original version was flipped upside down (brown on the bottom) and had the upper case zeta. This is the current version that people agreed on. It was made in 2019.It is a pro-contact flag and supports bestiality and is not against beast porn.-flag made by the zoo community-
ZOO COMMUNITY FLAG (ALTERNATE)The colors represent:
Brown - Animals of the earth
Green - Animals of the water
Blue - Animals of the sky.It is unknown what the star symbol is meant to be. Overall this flag is used more covertly than the one with the zeta symbol on it. It also looks a lot more appealing to others.
Sometimes the stripe in the center is smaller. This is a standardized version. interesting fact.. the star symbol is a default photoshop star.It is a pro-contact flag and supports bestiality and is not against beast porn.-flag made by the zoo community-
2016 ZOOPHILE FLAGIt is unknown what the colors representThis flag wasnt the earliest, but it was the redesign of the earliest by the same creator. It was a person on deviantart who's name has since been lost. This flag has been adopted by the zoo community and the larger zoo affiliated community due to people being more familiar with it and it having more popular colors.It is a pro-contact flag and supports bestiality and is not against beast porn.-flag made by zooflags on deviantart-
ZOOPHILE ALLY FLAGThe colors are based off the 2016 flag.This is a brand new flag and is for people who identify as a zoo ally. This is a neutral flag that does not touch on contact politics. It is simply here for people who are not zoophiles to ally themselves with zoo's.This is a neutral flag that is not about contact discourse.-flag made by Zoophilestruggs-
THE FUTURE
The future is becoming increasingly anti-contact and anti-bestiality. The old zoophile community is increasingly becoming alienated from the younger generation and is divorced from mental health issues. They are ill prepared for kids, young adults, and mental health. These shortcomings combined with a changing LGBT environment render the current zoophile community as oftentimes hostile and dangerous at most, and negligent and out of touch at the very least."THIS IS PROPAGANDA"
Our goal is to not replace the pro-contact zoo community. People will continue to have sex with animals no matter how we feel about things. It's important that the pro-c community keep each other accountable while also not trying to coerce, neglect, or prey upon individuals who are anti-contact or non-practicing. They are responsible for their own community and we will hold them to their own standards they put forth in the ZETA principles."BUT ANTI-C AND PRO-C ARE MAP WORDS!"
Cope. MAP verbage has been around since the 90's and is more appropriate to use as they are more accurate for contact discourse, which is a cornerstone in zoophilia arguments."BUT ANIMALS CAN CONSENT!"
Consent does not factor into any of this because the pro-c zoophile community is the issue, and the behavior in and around it should be the focal point. Abusive fetish porn is shared freely, zoosadists are rampant, and people live in the darkness afraid they will be found and exploited. They live in fear behind alts and false personas, which allows this abuse to take place.THE PROBLEM IS BESTIALITY. A DIVORCE FROM BESTIALITY IS FREEDOM
ANTI-CONTACT ZOO COMMUNITY
Here are the principles and standards that are put forth by the anti-contact community.Live in the Daylight, Not the Darkness.Humans first.
This community focuses on zoophiles themselves. It does not fixate on animal rights. There are many organizations and groups that an anti-contact zoo can participate in that support the rights of animals. This community is about relationship based sexual interactions with animals. Community Unity
Many people believe that animals cannot consent or can consent. It is an argument not worth fighting over as it divides the community and isn't applicable to the goals of this community. The core overall for the anti-contact community is to be against bestiality for any reason a person may believe in. Education
Invite discussions to be had in a civil manner about how attraction does not equal action, and how responsibility and accountability should be enforced. Understand that toleration of abuse (human or animal) within the anti contact community should not be encouraged or hidden. Remember to live in the daylight. Not the darkness. For people who choose to practice bestiality, there's a different community for them that they can participate in.Kindness and Transparency
Show mercy, but be wary of people who have practiced bestiality in the past. People should be able to get away from the pro-c zoo community. People change. People make mistakes. Hold people accountable for their actions but be fair in judgement. Be reserved and supportive.Consent Arguments
This community puts humans first. The damage that bestiality has on a human takes precedence as a human cannot take care of an animal if they cannot take care of themself. Bestiality is dangerous due to laws, social stigma, pornographic fixations, the high rate of abuse, and blackmail from the pro-c community itself. It is too dangerous to recommend.-----------------------------------------------This is a developing community. It is small, but it is loud. May your voice be heard. This is all we have.-written by ZAPF coalition-
PRACTICING ZOO COMMUNITY DOGMA
The ZETA principles are the standards by which the practicing zoo community SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE TO. It is created BY the community FOR the community. I do not support nor condone these. This is simply here as a reference point.-----------
What does ZETA mean?
Zoophiles for the Ethical Treatment of AnimalsBestow upon animals the same kindness one would wish bestowed upon oneself.Consider the well being of an animal companion as important as ones own.Place the animal’s will and wellbeing ahead of one’s desires for sexual gratification.Teach those who seek knowledge about zoophilia and bestiality without promoting it.Discourage the practice of bestiality in the presence of fetish seekers.Censure sexual exploitation of animals for the purpose of financial gain.Censure those who practice and promote animal sexual abuse.---------
These principles exist as a guide for the practicing community to keep each other accountable to an ethical standard. They are animal oriented and focus on the act of bestiality and physical companionship.
