I'm a zoophile.

It is not, after all, the 'anti-speciesist', the 'animal liberationist', the radical zoophile who 'attributes a mystical persona' to animals. We simply say that if it is wrong to cause avoidable distress then it is wrong to torture, enslave and kill creatures not of our species for our own, frequently trivial, profit.

[…] the process theist may not regard the killing of non-human animals for food or other reasons as generally acceptable. Call the process thinker who regards the killing of non-human animals for food as (usually) morally wrong a zoophile. Even if the zoophile regards human beings as more capable of experience and insight than another animals, and as therefore more valuable than other animals, she may regard non-human animals as moral patients. She may well not regard predatory animals as full moral agents; she will then have no reason to see their killing of other animals for food as itself morally wrong, because predators are not themselves subject to moral assessments. But she may still find it difficult to square God's encouragement of predation with an attractive account of divine goodness. […] A moral theory may, of course, incorporate both consequentialist and non-consequentialist elements: the process thinker is not required to choose definitively between the two. However, to the extent that the process thinker who is also a zoophile reasons as a consequentialist about non-human animals and their interests, whether or not she does so about humans and their interests, she will face the problem that consequentialism appears problematic as a moral theory, and that the goodness of a God who acts as a consequentialist with respect to animals is not perhaps overly attractive morally.

The manifestation of severely inflammatory, infiltrated and asymmetrical-disseminated plaques with well-defined borders in children should immediately suggest a zoophile dermatophytosis, especially when there is a plausible ‘history of animal contact’. An infection with T. mentagrophytes typically involves a severe eczematous skin reaction and sometimes the appearance of pustules. The areas of face, neck and arms are the most frequently affected in zoophilic dermatophyte infections.
