Just in case it needed to be said, I’m not actually seeking that particular ethical loophole for myself.
I just feel that, if one is somehow able to correct for power imbalances related to strength, intellectual capacity, political/professional influence, emotional maturity, or any of the other typical objections standing in the way of informed consent, there wouldn’t necessarily be anything particularly morally or ethically objectionable to fucking a chicken that had given enthusiastic consent. In and of itself. It may be an animal, but under those stipulated conditions, it’d be people, too.
There goes my political career. ![]()
