Zoo social movements

In the past, there have been efforts from the zoophile community to organize themselves in order to bring the topic into society and contribute to a normalization of the topic. Historically, unfortunately, it has to be said that these efforts have not brought any improvement, but rather, through the distortion of facts by the media, and animal protection organizations, have led to the legal and social circumstances generally deteriorating. By and large these efforts were and are exceptions, as there are a variety of reasons that prevent the scene from addressing the issue on a societal level. In particular, the social stigma and the associated risks, as well as the fragmentation of the scene.
