Because they benefit from eating animals (they enjoy eating them) whereas they don't benefit from having sex with animals (they don't enjoy having sex with animals).

This is exactly why many indigenous cultures put an emphasis on thanking the animal for their meat.

There is no logical consistency except what allows the continued survival and flourishing of life and the human race.

Having sex with animals could get you sick and cause all sorts of problems. Eating animals on the other hand can extend your life beyond a few days and perhaps even into years after you can no longer drink your mother's milk and has very few downsides, especially with the invention of cooking. Sure, we don't need the source of sustenance that is meat today when we have several times more food than is necessary to feed the whole globe and then throw a lot of it away, but this wasn't true for the vast majority of our history. People only a few hundred years ago had to scrape for every protein they could find.

There's no special moral reason because we didn't decide. It's just an instinct, though one that we can examine and ignore if we want.

So you interviewed those people individually and determined that they are in fact the same people? Excellent work!

Wait... you didn't? Then go away.

It's like how soldier rapists are bad, but soldier murderers get a medal.

Humans are fundamentally absurd, no exceptions

Food is necessary for survival, sex isn't

False premise. Zoophilia isn't condemned because animal rights etc. It's condemned because 'ew WTF we don't want people doing that, to the extent that we will make laws against it.'

It's the same reason that we have laws against incest. Had laws against homosexuality.

I'm not saying it should be allowed because we (some of us) grew up and realised that laws against homosexuality were stupid. Just that, that is the reason. Collective societal disgust. It's only justified by using animal rights (and rightly so, because EW) the same way we justified antihomo laws because it goes against some obscure biblical / Koranic rule.

Guess I’ll just leave this here…

A number of US states agree with op here, some it's legal to have sex with animals within limits, anything over 20 pounds rings a bell for one, alabama maybe. They might have changed those laws because they were getting made fun of idk.

People raping and killing for their own enjoyment is sick. Someone else doing the dirty work for our enjoyment (i.e. eating meat), well that's different. If somehow zoophilia were proven to enhance meat flavor, we'd probably be OK with it
