artificial insemination is a veterinary procedure. it's not rape
and getting a giant steel horn implanted in your forehead would be a cosmetic procedure, but i guess you'd be pretty upset if someone did it to you without asking?
artificial insemination would fit the legal definition of rape in several jurisdictions in the world if you did it to a human.
and if done to cattle, it's a veterinary procedure
so you think all humans have rights to do any kinds of violent, invasive acts to any animal, as long as they call it a "veterinary procedure"? is there anything a human could do to an animal which you would classify as "rape"?
i doubt it.
yeah this is turning out to be as wild as I expected
it can be icky without being immoral.
i think rights are a fiction. i don't believe they exist at all.
