Zoobilee Zoo

My weekend ended with bestiality. Or zoophilia. Are they the same thing? I'm not sure, which is where I think the documentary Zoo failed. Failed to meet my documentary needs, anyway. The movie tells the story of a group of people who, through the powers that be on the Internet, get together to occasionally get it on with farm animals. Unfortunately, a high-profile (high-ranking Boeing employee) horse lover dies from internal bleeding after a night of animal relations goes wrong.

The movie was interesting enough, I particularly liked a point of view provided by a horse advocate, but it didn't give me much insight into this world of unconventional attraction. It was more of a long, slow news story than a detailed look into a people and passion I (still) know nothing about. Much more could have been explored: How common is zoophilia? Are some animals more popular than others? More prevalent in men or women?

Maybe I'm a weirdo for wanting to know this stuff, but when I watch a documentary, I want to learn more than I could find on my own by browsing the Internet.

Final thought: I wonder how long it will be before I get fired, considering I wrote this at work and googled "zoophilia" while doing so.
