There is no such thing as a victim of zoophilia.
"Zoophilia" is an attraction someone has, and if you think that makes them a victim, you are perpetuating the idea that attractions can be mental illnesses. This is a myth.
In 2013, the American Psychiatric Association explicitly stated that having an attraction is not a disorder, and that to qualify for a related disorder, one must suffer as a result of one. They said that paraphilias (attractions) are not even diagnosable conditions. Having an attraction is healthy, normal.
Encouraging people to hate themselves for attractions that they did not choose, *causes* diagnosable mental disorders. You are quite literally making people sick by pressuring them into self-loathing. People say "get therapy", but this goes against everything therapy is about.
If you're saying "victim" while talking about people who have been exposed to porn (or worse), then that is an entirely separate issue, and you need to call it what it is. Because mislabeling it as "zoophilia" still impacts people with such attractions, and ultimately leads to harm.
Whatever you do in life, you should always try to reduce suffering around you, not worsen it. Be kind to people. Help where you can. If you don't know how to help, then at the very least don't be cruel. We have enough bullies on the internet.

And yet people turn a blind eye to the harm that stigma causes when it's an attraction they don't understand.
Paraphiles of all kinds are ostracised by people they thought were friends.
By people that might not even actually hate them, but act that way because they're afraid of being attacked themselves.
When sincerity takes cruelty's place, all will see just how many of us are truly out here - and how everyone feels about that.
I'm not even sure which of those needs to come first...
So, here I am.
Here we are.

Sena - The dog who was nothing but skin and bones, and the power of the will to live 💓✨
I still cannot forget the first image of Sena. A tiny female dog, reduced to nothing but skin and bones, with almost nothing left on her body. She was found in a rural area of Thailand just two days before New Year’s Eve. No one could understand how she was still breathing.
When Beth and her boyfriend received Sena from the veterinary clinic, they had prepared themselves mentally, yet they were still shocked. They thought she would only survive a few more days. Beth even asked herself: “Am I being cruel by trying to keep her alive?”
The first hours were filled with tears. Then, a few days later, a miracle happened. Sena’s tail started wagging. Just a small wag, but it was enough for Beth to understand: she wanted to live. She was fighting.
After only one week, her fur began to grow back. Sena grew stronger day by day, more playful, learning to ask for belly rubs, running to the sofa and wagging her tail nonstop. From a creature that had nearly given up, she became a fluffy dog with bright eyes and full of life.
What struck me most was not only the physical transformation. It was the way such a fragile being still held on to such a fierce will to live. In the animal world, this is not rare. Many animals that are abandoned, starved, or severely injured still try to survive until the very last moment. They do not complain. They do not give up easily. All they need is one small chance: a meal, a shelter, a gentle hand, to begin again.
Sena is the clearest proof. When she received proper care and genuine love, her body recovered at an astonishing speed. Love and attention do not only heal physical wounds; they also awaken the desire to live within.
Beth said she would do it all over again in a heartbeat, no matter how painful the process was. Looking at Sena today, with her thick fur, bright eyes, happy and trusting, I understand why. Because sometimes, saving a life is not only about pulling it back from death. It is about giving it back the right to truly live: to run, to wag its tail, to be loved without fear.
Sena is not just a rescued dog. She is a reminder that in the animal world, the will to live is always stronger than we imagine. And all it takes is one person willing to stop, to open their heart, for a living being that seemed beyond hope to start over once more ❤️

New paper! We surveyed 2,197 zoophiles worldwide on neurodevelopmental conditions: 23.8% ADHD dx, 15.7% autism dx, 17.7% social anxiety. Only ~1/3 reported none. First study of its scale on neurodiversity in this population.

When you truly love an animal, you never give up on them.

So many ill and frail people endure through pain and even suffering, because that's what they *want* to do - but it's totally normalized to take that choice away from animals.
Just a quick update, and an *important* notice regarding our moderation practices moving forward.
<Tl;dr: The group is now locked, and applications are closed. Fewer warnings will be issued prior to removal for rule breaking./>
There's no news from up high on what's happening with communities here on Twitter. They seem to still be in the process of removing them, but strangely, they've started with our admin controls following the most recent update to mobile apps. We still have access for now, but there's no telling how long the workaround will remain open.
Because of this, we've locked the community group to new members, and it will remain locked indefinitely; at least until such time that they reverse their decision on shutting down communities... If they ever do. We won't be accepting any new applications, and in fact we don't actually receive notifications for applications at all, anymore. Apologies to anyone who's requested to join in the past week.
If you're not currently in here, do not fret; it's looking like 'here' will cease to exist soon, anyway. I still encourage everybody to use the #zooproud hashtag in place of (and in addition to) posts in this community feed - and also to report any unsavoury posts utilising that tag; we have no control over what gets posted to it, so we have to rely on *platform* moderation, meaning grok. With enough of us doing that though, we hope to clean up at least one of our hashtags.
Importantly, with the difficulties we foresee in moderating this space; at least for some of the rules; we won't be issuing warnings for violations any longer. This means people will be removed from the community group without warning if they willfully or ignorantly break our clearest rules - including (but not limited to) things like adult accounts posting to our feed, insulting or abusive posts, or people trying to poach members to unapproved group chats. We've been against these from the start, so the rules shouldn't come as a surprise.
Warnings may continue to be issued in less clear cut cases, or for people with a history of genuine behaviour. People with previous warnings, however, we do expect you to have reviewed the rules after your last warning. The rules haven't changed in some time, but we encourage everybody to check again before your next post.
Why? We just can't afford to keep issuing warnings for every fresh infraction, because there's no telling how long we will still be able to do so. This community could remain up for a year after we lose the ability to remove posts (who knows!), but if we see that our space is continuing to be abused in that time, we would simply rather request deletion of it to retain our integrity. We don't want that to happen; we want this space to stay up as long as possible, even without moderation; so we need to be very strict moving forward... while we still can. We hope you can understand this.
As for group chats, there's currently a Zoo Proud chat room on telegram, run by us: t.me/zooproud (blank profiles will not be accepted, make sure your pfp and profile is public) - and the only approved third party space we allow promotion of is Zooey Dot Pub; visit join.zooey.pub to apply. We hope to see you in one of these sfw zeta spaces!
Evil seems to be exclusively human.

People always ask me how I achieved the relationship I have with my dog, and one of the things I always say is that I never played jokes at her expense; no games where I pretended to throw something; no exploiting his trust. If it's not a joke they can understand, then don't.

“Made the mistake of checking our cameras while we were gone. Never drove home faster”
CW: Death of dog, grief, police.
"Sorry for your loss"... It was the most hollow, unfeeling remark. Totally impatient with her distress.
Most people can't empathize with those who truly care for their dogs. Not just zoos; cynophiles.
I'd be on the floor, crying with her.
FTP: LAPD killed her dog. He was wearing his Knicks jersey.
His name was Jameson. A golden doodle. One of the sweetest, most gentle breeds alive.
A neighbor called a noise complaint. That's it.
20+ officers showed up. Then a helicopter. For a noise complaint in an apartment complex.
And they shot Jameson dead. In front of his owner. In front of her child.
No warning. No de-escalation. Nothing.
The media is barely covering this. No headlines. No outrage.
Like it never happened.
If this was your dog... your child watching... how would you feel?
Jameson deserved better. That little boy deserved better. His mama deserved better.
