===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]].

=== Leptospirosis - 100-200 cases ===

Human cases of leptospirosis are rare in the United States. According to the CDC, only about 100 to 200 leptospirosis cases are reported each year in the United States. About 50 percent of all U.S. leptospirosis cases occur in Hawaii, the CDC said.

The largest outbreak of leptospirosis ever recorded in the United States occurred in 1998, when more than 1,000 athletes participating in summer triathlons in Illinois and Wisconsin were potentially exposed to the bacteria, and 110 became infected, according to the CDC.

=== Brucellosis - 94 Cases/year ===

https://cste.confex.com/cste/2016/webprogram/Paper6331.html - 67 of these cases were animal related, 80% of those cases involved swine livestock husbandry. 53% of the total cases were due to undercooked meats and unpasteurized dairy products from foreign lands.

=== Tularemia - 100 Cases/year ===

https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/preview/mmwrhtml/mm6247a5.html

=== Q-Fever - 120 Cases Per year ===

[[Q Fever]] in the United States: Summary of Case Reports from Two National Surveillance Systems, 2000–2012

=== Echinococcosis - 48 cases/yr***===
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3274497/ - Not much information on US infection rates, only reported 48 deaths in 18 years.

==Zoonoses Acquired Through Sexual Contact==
Infections transmitted from animals to humans are called [[zoonoses]]. Few zoonoses can be transmitted through casual contact, but many are more likely to be transmitted through activities that expose humans to semen, vaginal fluid, urine, saliva, stool, or blood of animals. For this reason, sexual contact with animals can present a risk of transmission of zoonoses. It may be of interest to people who practice [[bestiality]], for each of the diseases mentioned below (and others not mentioned) and for the different regions of the world. Some of the more common zoonoses are listed in the National Agricultural Safety Database (NASD) and by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) in the United States.
