Editing Bestiality (section)

===Bestiality vs Zoophilia===
	
	
	
While it can be argued that these two terms are interchangeable. Some individuals within the [[Zoo community]] hold different meanings to the word. Though the word has sparked debates in the past. Generally bestiality is referenced as the act of a human having sex with a non-human animal. Sexual activities may or may not involve penetration, but they are sexual behaviors done for gratification.
	
	
The easiest way to distinguish bestiality and zoophilia is to say that bestiality is a practice -- it's something people do. Zoophilia is a preference or experience, something people feel. Not everyone who engages in bestiality is a [[zoophile]], and not all people who identify or would be classified as having zoophilia actually have sex with animals.
	
	
Another important distinction to make is that only having erotic feelings or fantasies involving animals is not against the law, whereas in many places, having sexual relations with a non-human animal currently is illegal.
