I mean, it's not really bestiality if it isn't sexual. A gynocological exam also isn't fingering.

[–] nutbutter@discuss.tchncs.de 73 points 1 month ago (51 children)

A gynaecologist "treats" the patient, benefitting the patient.

Forcibly impregnating someone is also called rape.

[–] remon@ani.social 46 points 1 month ago (13 children)

Artificial insemination is a treatment.

[–] _tasten_tiger@feddit.org 96 points 1 month ago (3 children)

If the recipient asked for it and the donor is giving it out of free will with the explicit intention then yes it is a medical treatment.

[–] ryannathans@aussie.zone 27 points 1 month ago (4 children)

Ah yes so when I give my dog antibiotics for an infection against his will it's definitely not medical treatment

[–] M137@lemmy.world 91 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Making an animal pregnant isn't solving a medical issue. How do you not see the difference?

[–] Barbarian@sh.itjust.works 39 points 1 month ago

Personally I view it the same as giving medicine to a baby. They don't understand, sometimes you have to make decisions in their best interests.

Key point: in their best interests, not for personal gain.

Are you planning on eating said dog?

With humans yes, but in the case of non-human animals these decisions are up to the owner.

edit: clarification for the ultra-dense.

Not a vegan but if you think what happens to cows is a medical "treatment" then you are a dumbass

it is not a needed treatment for the health and well being of the cow, it is a unecessary treatment forced upon the animal

Artificial insemination without consent is rape. Natural insemination without consent is rape.

Cows cannot give consent to humans. No animal can. Hell, even if we discovered another human-like species but couldn't have meaningful communication with them, it'd still be rape.

Is your gynecologist jerking you off?

[–] RobertoOberto@sh.itjust.works 19 points 1 month ago

Eww, no. Gross.

My gyno jerks off my cows like a civilized person.

It is sexual, it sounds like they jack them off to acquire genetic material to impregnate the female livestock with

[–] DahGangalang 45 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (10 children)

Trying to be "facts forward" so make of this what you will. Source: I was in FFA in highschool in a beef intense-ish area.

The method of collecting semen I'm most familiar with is when they take a female cow in heat and tie her up, then bring a male bull they want to collect semen from into the same pen. The male will smell the female is in heat, gets erect, and will attempt to mount her.

As the male is trying to mount the female, people in the pen with the cattle will have a large rubbery "sleeve" on a pole (imagine a cow sized condom on a stick) that they will maneuver around the bull's penis as it mounts the cow. He does his thing in the condom thinking he's inside the female (usually less than 30 seconds) dismounts and then the ranchers have their semen for artificial insemination.

I've been out of that area for over a decade now so a new method may have emerged since then, but in my Animal Sciences class, that's how we were taught semen is harvested for most livestock.

Edit: I distinctly recall the "artificial vagina" being on a stick (and laughing about it in class), but best video I can find on the quick: https://youtu.be/-4ma3WeOxbo

TBF that one sounds like no lines are crossed

[–] DahGangalang 10 points 1 month ago

Eh, I feel like the female cow is still getting a raw deal. Less raw than the classic "breed this bull with this cow" arrangement, but still somewhat not good.

Unless they are jacking off themselves at the same time, it's not sexual.

[–] FinjaminPoach@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago (4 children)

I get what you're saying but it's sexual assault, no?

Is artificial insemination of livestock sexual assault?

...

[–] testfactor@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago (3 children)

If non-human animals cannot consent, isn't all sex between any two non-human animals rape?

If that's the case, isn't this preferable to just letting the animals just rape each other indiscriminately?
