I actually disagree with almost every thing you said up there, but respect the way you put it across. I can't argue any more eloquently than restate my position which is no explicit consent = no dice, as shira put it so well :)
We raised ourselves above the animal kingdom, given ourselves morals and ethics to love by, and we have a duty of care to those in our power and who depend on us for surviva. No explicit consent = rape, and that's enough for me!
I do see your point (and i saw his badly argued one in the original post) about ownership and use of animals. That would be why I'm vegan ;)
