zoophilia
Zoophilia is a sexual attraction or fixation of a human toward non-human animals. It is considered a paraphilia, which is a type of mental disorder characterized by abnormal sexual desires. Some people with this attraction may act on their feelings by engaging in sexual activity with animals, which is generally considered illegal and unethical. Others do not act on their attractions and instead use fantasies or pornography involving animals. Zoophilia is generally considered socially unacceptable and is a topic of much ethical debate.

Zoophilia
Zoophilia is a paraphilia involving sexual activity between human and non-human animals or a fixation on such practice. The term "zoophilia" derives from the combination of two nouns in Greek: ζῷον and φιλία. Although sex with animals is not outlawed in some countries, it is not explicitly condoned anywhere. In most countries, bestiality is illegal under animal abuse laws or laws dealing with crimes against nature.
