Children are 'trained' to seek it, even want it. Rape victims have been known to feel pleasure from the sensation, it's one of the big taboos, and one of the reasons many rape victims have so many problems dealing with the act.
We have no way to know if the animal wants the act. Instinct =/= desire. We ASSUME, based on human communications. We cannot know there is consent, and where we cannot KNOW there is consent, there is abuse.
Under the age of 16, in the eyes of the law, children CANNOT consent, so my comparision is valid.
Having sex with an animal, or training an animal that having sex with humans is ok, is abuse of our position of power over them. Animals do not know what the act means to us. Ergo, they cannot consent to it.
Wanting something doesn't make it right, giving something to something that wants it doesn't make it right. Having sex with something/someone that CANNOT consent = wrong.
