Page "Peter Singer" Paragraph 41

Commenting on Singer's article " Heavy Petting ," in which he argues that zoosexual activity need not be abusive, and that relationships could form which were mutually enjoyed, Ingrid Newkirk, president of the animal rights group PETA, argued that, " If a girl gets sexual pleasure from riding a horse, does the horse suffer?

If not, who cares?

If you French kiss your dog and he or she thinks it's great, is it wrong?

We believe all exploitation and abuse is wrong.

If it isn't exploitation and abuse, it may not be wrong.

" A few years later, Newkirk clarified in a letter to the Canada Free Press that she was strongly opposed to any exploitation of, and all sexual activity with, animals.
