===Bestiality IS Safe Sex===

*In considering all the logical reasons one would want to engage in [[bestiality]] or [[Zoophilia]], we took avenues to examine how safe the practice would actually be.


Barring physical injury (Kicks, bites, scratches) from improperly handling of the animal or with relation to scratches a common occurrence, in these situations, we decided to look into possible [[Zoonoses]] and infection rates that followed within the US. Information from the CDC and from other sources can be used to estimate infection rates. Listing the most common zoonoses then try to mingle that information with the number of [[zoophiles]] POSSIBLY living in the united states.

There are too many [[bestiality]]-related studies to name when it comes to a percentage of the population who are zoophiles or at least had [[Sexual Contact with Animals|sexual contact with animals]]. It has been stated by Kinsey to be as high as 5% of the population who had contact with an animal sexually too as low as 1% consider by other studies. To give a rough estimate of [[Zoo]] population in the US, we will be as restrictive on the size of the group we use. We will use .5% of the US population as a base (half of the lowest estimate) and that's 1,625,000 people who are practicing bestiality in a year.

Now we need to number the cases of serious [[Zoonoses]] in the US. Information chart for zoonoses common in the US. This will not be including fecal-borne illnesses as this assumes your animal is fit health, you are cleaning your animal beforehand, and also are not involved with fecal or scat fetishes. A lot of these "[[Zoonoses]]" are directly related to fecal-oral ingestion. The rest of these illnesses are very much [[Zoonoses]].
