Editing Zoophilia (section)

==Health and safety==
For zoos to add: This article should be updated with information about the risks of human-to-human transmission of [[Venereal Disease|venereal disease]] compared to animal-to-human and human-to-animal Zoonotic transmission. There should also be a new section about well-being for the animal partners. Bites and trampling are mentioned obliquely, but it should be made clear how different species interact (love bites from horses, risk of scratching from the front claws of dogs, salmonella on reptiles, etc).

{{Main|Zoonosis}}
Infections that are transmitted from animals to humans are called [[Zoonosis|zoonoses]]. Some [[zoonoses]] may be transferred through casual contact, but others are much more readily transferred by activities that expose humans to the [[semen]], vaginal fluids, [[urine]], [[saliva]], [[feces]] and blood of animals. Examples of zoonoses are [[Brucellosis]], [[Q fever]], [[leptospirosis]], and [[toxocariasis]]. Therefore, sexual activity with animals is, in some instances, a high risk activity. [[Allergy|Allergic reactions]] to animal semen may occur, including [[anaphylaxis]]. Bites and other trauma from penetration or trampling may occur.
