Editing Bestiality Pornography - The misrepresentation of Zoophilia (section)

== Introduction ==
Pornography has been around for centuries. From cave paintings, to to film, and electronic media. 

The oldest artifacts considered pornographic were discovered in Germany in 2008 CE and are dated to be at least 35,000 years old.<ref>[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pornography#cite_note-FOOTNOTEScience13_May_2009-23]Anthropologist Paul Mellars of Stony Brook University in New York state says the focus on exaggerated sexual features fits with other artifacts found from the period, including phalluses carved out of bison horn and vulva inscribed on rocks. "It's sexually exaggerated to the point of being pornographic", Mellars says. "There's all this sexual symbolism bubbling up in that period. They were sex-mad." Conard used radiocarbon dates from bones and other artifacts found nearby to date the figurine. "It's at least 35,000 calendar years old, but I think it's much older than that", Conard says.</ref> Throughout the history of erotic depictions, various people made attempts to suppress them under obscenity laws, censor, or make them illegal.

The history of Zoophilia has varied from the prehistoric era, where depictions of bestiality appear in European rock art, to the Middle Ages, where bestiality was met with execution.

One of the oldest films relating to Bestiality was "Animal Farm." That was smuggled into Great Britain around 1980, with little information about its makers.. The film was later traced to a crude juxtaposition of smuggled cuts from many of Bodil Joensen's 1970s Danish movies <ref>[[Zoophilia#Pornography]]</ref>

=== Production ===

Due to source limitations, not much information can be obtained on past productions. Certain studios that may be familiar to some readers are [[Petlust]]. A production studio featuring guys with animals. Zooskool (Now ArtofZoo) featuring women with animals. Along with some other producers. 

===== Sourcing =====
The methods by which animals are obtained for these productions are often undocumented. Speculation suggests that older producers might have used farms where owners welcomed filming, dogs provided by the actors/actresses, or other undisclosed sources.

=== For the money, or the love? ===
Much of the zoophilia pornography produced by "commercial producers" is assumed to be driven by financial motives. This speculation arises from the observation of certain scenes, such as old Brazilian films involving horses, which did not accurately represent real horse semen. The disconnect between the depicted content and reality suggests a focus on commercial appeal rather than authenticity.
