It doesn't matter what you're attracted to, attraction is not an action, it hurts nobody. It becomes a problem when you hate yourself for it, & it causes you trauma, or if you act on it & it is harmful. Love yourself for who you are, don't be ashamed of the way you were born.
Normalize all sexual attractions, because believe it or not, pretty much everyone has "abnormal" attractions and kinks.
It's not abnormal, quite the opposite, we are suppressing ourselves, trying to force conformity to the most basic attractions.
We were meant to be diverse.
Just because I'm attracted to canines, doesnt mean I want to get it on with your dog. We zoos aren't sexual predators, we dont want to have sex with every non-human we see, that's ridiculous.
If you think we do, it makes me worry how you see every human in front of you.
You are normal for your zoosexual attractions. Way more normal than "normies" lead you to believe. Zoos are everywhere, weve always been around and always will be.
Being socially acceptable DOES NOT equal normal.
Being socially acceptable DOES NOT equal morally right or wrong.
If someone tells you they can help you become a recovering zoo, turn the other direction & dont fall for their trap.
They are manipulating you into repressing your emotions & attractions, which will lead to trauma & self-hate.
Zoos are people too, good people who love and care about nonhumans more than anyone else. If that statement disgusts you, and your ideology leads you to believe we arent people, or, we are monsters, and we shouldn't exist.
We are zoos, not criminals. We arent here to take your dog or a stray on the street for sexual pleasure, we don't take advantage of non-humans.
Yes, there are zoosadists and bestialists in our community, that's who your thinking of and, EVERY community has "bad apples".
For as long as humans exist, zoos will too. Always have, always will.
We have always been here, & theres more of us than even we know about.
With that said, it's very safe to assume that interspecies attractions AND interspecies intercourse, IS NORMAL.
Zoophiles are the coolest. Zoos love nonhumans more than any other group of people.
So it's only natural that zoos would learn about nonhumans and treat them with the utmost care.
I'd trust a zoo with my cat over an anti any day.
To any zoos going to mff or any future gathering, if you plan to be open or use zoo stickers, etc. Do not wander alone, stay near people, and if possible, stay with other zoos, there are truly evil people in this world, who couldnt care less about your wellbeing.
There are at least 371 zoo furries on the twitter platform ALONE. That's a small army. I hope to see us continue to grow and thrive. We are valid and lastly, we ARE the furry Fandom.
Zoosexuals are just like anyone else. The only difference is we have a deeper connection & love for other species. Some of us have non-human lovers, & that is a beautiful thing, not a tragedy.

To the newer zoo accounts...
I cannot find you all, I will likely miss some of you, that's not purposeful, so if you see this, & you struggle in any way, please come talk to me. I care alot about you, I would be more than happy to give you my time, you dont have to be alone.
Zoos don't get turned on every time they see someone walking their dog. I'm a zoo, not a sexual deviant. I don't find all dogs attractive, & even if I do find a dog attractive that doesnt mean I want to have sex with it or get turned on.
We're zoosexuals, not rapists or deviants.
You are not broken because of your attractions. You a beautiful the way you are. There's no reason to hate yourself or be ashamed for the way you were born. So, learn to love yourself everyday. You deserve it.
You shouldn't be so worried about trusting zoos around your companions, Alot of us would run through traffic to save YOUR dog. Become one of your dogs best friends faster than you thought possible, bring treats, maybe even buy them a toy.
We're the last you should worry about.
Believe it or not, antizoos are a minority, hateful, angry evil people tend to be the loudest and most distracting, it can be easy to forget that most people have no problem with zoos.
Furries, you ruined your own fandom by freaking out at every little thing that offends you. When I became a furry over 10 years ago, it was nice, people enjoyed it, things were pretty good & everyone wasnt as obsessed with cancelling people and ideas at the drop of a hat.
Met someone gaming, talked about zoo advocacy, they were confused at first, but were open minded, & was able to see the good in it. No problem with interspecies relationships when I explained body language & consent.
Doesnt take much to be a good person. Just be open minded.
It's okay to be confused about your sexuality and attractions. It is a complicated and ever changing, evolving thing. It's okay to take it slow, it can take a long time to learn about your own sexuality, & you will continue to learn about your attractions for a long time to come.
I am a furry, part of the furry fandom. I'm also a zoo, part of the zoo community. Both of which nobody has a right to say I can't be a part of, both of which I am proud of.
Zoofurs exist, and were here to stay.

The furry community is one centered around nonhumans, so obviously most of you will have some form of zoophilic attraction. You are quite literally surrounded by zoos and zooey people. It would make your life a lot easier to just accept that, or, leave the fandom.
It's incredibly sad to still see anti-MAP zoos, and I shouldn't even have to explain why.
You think it's cool to jump on the bandwagon and ridicule & exclude MAPs when you yourself should know how that feels, being a zoo? How?
If you're one of those people REFLECT.
The furry fandom is not a governing force, it is a group of individuals that have the same interest. The fandom can not decide who can be a part of it, because it is the individual who decides what the fandom is for them. Anyone can be a furry, and you can't decide for them.
Having a loving and Consentual intimate relationship with a non-human animal is not abuse.
However, cutting dogs balls off, forcing them to eat the same shit everyday, beating them, and tying them up to chains in the hot sun is abuse.
Learn the difference.

A zoosadist doesnt care about the health, happiness, safety & longevity of non-humans.
A zoophile DOES. They care more about non-humans rights, health, happiness, safety, and longevity than any other type of person.
GET IT RIGHT

We are way more common than you'd think. There are zoos in every profession & walk of life.
Zoos are like anyone else. Being a zoo does not mean you are mentally ill / unintelligent, I think that's plain to see. We are good animal-loving people deserving of acceptance.
#Zoopride
I admire the strength of the zoo community. I've never seen a stronger, prouder, & more loving group of people anywhere.
We're constantltly kicked down, threatened, made fun of & generally harrassed...
Are we the ones preaching hatred, harm, assault, death, and crimes onto others? Are we the ones that seek out minorities to bully them, threaten them, harrass them? Are we the ones that make art of our enemies being slaughtered for some sick entertainment?
Who's the danger?
You are not perfect, you will never be perfect. But you dont need to be perfect. You need to be you, you need to be the unique you that you were always meant to be. Be honest with yourself about your feelings and who you are. Just make an effort to be better everyday is all.
The zoo community could really use your support. Take a stand for something, and HELP US. I personally, am really fucking tired of being ignored by everyone that cares, & only getting insults and attacks from the few that hate us.
Hey zoofurs, you're a furry, so do you accept yourself in the Fandom as a zoo?
I've heard alot of people say furries will never accept us, but like, I'm a furry, and I accept myself as a zoo in the furry community.
Banning zoos from cons is just another form of segregation. It's no different than segregation, in fact, that's exactly what it is.
Punishing others for a sexuality they never chose to have is disgusting and abusive. Humans have a nasty habit of repeating history.
Be strange, be weird, be spontaneous, be you, who you really are and need to be.
But whatever you do, don't just normalize yourself to fit in to the world around you.
Its been quite a while since I organized the making of this flag...
I'm proud to call it our symbol, & I am very glad to have watched this community grow & evolve for the good & the bad. I love the people of this community, & I hope to live the rest of my life alongside you.
HEY! I love you, and you are the main reason I still exist. Even if you havent been an activist in the zoo circles, just being a part of this amazing community is enough for me to love you, so keep going, stay strong, love yourself & be proud of your sexuality.
Zoophilia is okay, zoosexuality is okay. There is nothing wrong with the attraction. Be loud and proud about it. Not because being proud gives free rent space in ignorant peoples heads, but because its healthy for the mind!
Zoosexuals really aren't as bad as you've been led to believe by society.
We are good people, smart people, loving people. We care about & respect non-humans on or above the level humans care for other humans.

Happy zoo pride everyone! Happy pride to all misunderstood, lesser known & lesser loved sexualities!
You are loved & valid, your attractions are a beautiful part of you, respect it, & respect others sexualities.
We're all living on the same earth, remember that.
Love you all!
Telling a zoo to "Go get help", that they are "sick" and to "seek a psychologist" is a really common sign you have no idea what you are talking about.
Half the zoos I know see a psychologist & a psychiatrist.
(((( N O N E O F T H E M ))))
See an issue with our sexuality
I want to thank
@ZooierThanThou
& it's hosts for awakening in me the courage, pride, & strength to stand up for the zoo community & myself.
It was indeed them that brought me here, & I can't thank them enough for their own courage, pride & strength.

Stay strong, be caring, be proud, & connect with other zoos.
We are a family, we need to stick together.

Zoos dont want to have sex with every non-human we see. It's a sexuality, we have preferences too. Even those we would have sex with, we dont see them as a sex toy, we dont emediately think "oh I wanna fuck that".
Nothing you do will silence us, nothing you say will intimidate us.
We've gone through alot, for longer than any of you have been alive. antagonizing us only makes us stronger, louder, & prouder.
We will always perservere.

I need to be in contact with zoos that care about mental health, uplifting the community & being a supportive shoulder in the community. Please contact me if you are interested in having & being a part of an organized support system for new zoos & zoo curious people.
For many Zoos, pride in our sexuality runs deep and is a big part of who we are. For some of us it is part of our lifestyle. Love that, just don't base your whole life on one thing.
Its painful being someone who cares deeply about non-humans, knowing the horrors many of them have to endure. Its painful to care so much about non-humans, & have a plethora of people target you, solely because they lack understanding & self-control.
You're not alone, you may not know it yet, but there's a big community of kind zoos online.
You are not sick for your sexuality, the world is sick & needs healing.
&
I may not know you yet, but I love you, you are valid, be proud of who you are.

If you're a zoo advocate or influencer, I encourage you to prioritize educating people about us before insults or arguments.
We are a very misunderstood group of people, if there is even a small chance to teach & come to an understanding, take it.
You wouldn't believe the amount of zoos that are furries. No this doesnt mean zoos are furs & vice versa. We're just a big part of the fandom.
We've helped make conventions possible, we've performed at conventions, we're part of the working body that is the furry fandom.
Keep in mind antis are just mentally unstable children. They hate and attack solely to fit in or feel better about themselves. It's a waste of time & effort engaging with them. Ignore them & enjoy talking to other zoos & sensible people.
Everything's cool until you tell the furries that liking knots is zooey. Then they lose their minds.
To be fair. If you're zooey you're zooey, doesn't make you a zoo. Either way it's cool. Like what you like.
We aren't here to be stepped on. We are here to be heard, to build a community, we are here for ourselves and nonhumans. And we won't be silenced. We will always be here, no matter what.
Never been told a lie by an animal.
Never been abandoned by an animal.
Never been bullied by an animal.
But I have been by humans, and you antis wonder why I'm a zoophile.
#Zoopride

#Zoophile
Even the devil deserves a friend. Nobody deserves to be abandoned completely. Unfortunately, people on the internet think you should be dead for a simple difference in views.
Used to think antis were just ignorant bigoted children, but the more they interact with us the more it seems they are mentally unstable people with a creepy stalking obsession. No sane person makes a dozen accounts so they can keep harassing someone.
You're sick, go get help.
If you can help it, don't interact with antis, it's pointless and only serves as a distraction for the better things we could be working for and towards. We need to focus on ourselves and non-humans more. We've entertained them long enough.
If you'd like to know the origin of our beautiful flag and it's meaning, this post will enlighten you, for any of you new zoos out there.
Be proud of who you are, and continue being the amazing community you are. Love you.
For the dog lovers...
What breeds do you find most attractive?
Mine are medium/large fluffy dogs such as Huskies, samoyeds, Australian shepherds, malamutes, akitas & herding dogs.
Pushing zoos out won't actually get rid of them, they will just be quieter. We have always existed & always will, and it's not even our choice to be this way. If you support the cancelling of zoos, all you are is a bully making people depressed, & encouraging a toxic environment.
In a way, I think I should thank the furries for making so many videos on sappho, I know you want to spread as much hate as possible, but you are also giving us exposure & helping zoos find the community they never knew existed. So yeah, thank you.
Zoo allies, please do not refer to our sexuality as a paraphilia. I personally find it insulting and I know quite a few other zoos that do as well.
A paraphilia is very different from a sexuality.
Zoophilia & interspecies sex is part of nature & what is natural. I learned a long time ago that you cannot fight nature, you must learn to coexist with it. Nature is to be respected & protected, not destroyed. Because when we destroy nature, we destroy ourselves.
In case anyone is wondering, I did come out as zoo to my family, & anyone else it comes up with. It's not a secret. Living with the burden of not knowing who is really there for you is too much for me, and I'd rather have people hate me, than not know me.
Yes they accept me.
Regardless of how you feel, we exist, and we always will. We will always be a part of the furry Fandom, taking part in the making of the cons you love so much, or, working at a vet clinic, saving your "pets" life, etc. We are people just like you, you can't just "get rid of us"
The issue with older zoos emediately blocking new zoo accounts needs to stop. We are supposed to be accepting & welcoming of new members of this community and we have said we are, but we are proving the opposite.
Younger zoos and zoos that made new accounts feel unwelcome...
Your mental health is very important. Respect it, respect yourself & who you are inside, so that you can proudly bring that person out to connect with other hearts & minds.
Never, Ever, give up fighting for the creatures, people, and nature of this planet.
fight for nonhumans with every fiber of your being, fight until we no longer need to fight. that's what this world needs.
that's the price of peace.
So uh, I'm still a Zoosexual. The harrassment and death threats did not & can not change my sexuality. I'm still proud to be a zoo & I'm still on twitter.
So.... I think it's pretty obvious how little of an impact antis do on me personally. If anything antis make me prouder.
Yes, zoos jerk off to zoo porn, not all but many. Hell, I was watching zoo porn yesterday. The bitch was having more fun than the man was. He beat the pussy up and she loved it.
Hey my furry friends, did you know that if all zoos somehow dissapeared, every con would also dissapear. You guys think the Fandom is run by some puritan group that doesnt exist.
When we say that the Fandom is nothing without us, we arent exaggerating.
I encourage zoos to connect with other zoos, bond with eachother, strengthen our community. We are a family, we need eachother. Love eachother to the best of your ability because anything can happen, the world could end tomorrow.
Never force an animal, human or non-human into a sexual situation. I've said it once before, but that is called rape. Always make sure your partner is okay with it.
If you forcefully have sex with animals, you are not welcome in the zoo community.
Memes really have rotted kids brains to mush. 99% of the people attacking us are just cringey children obsessed with memes and fitting in. Get a personality, learn how to read a book, maybe do something with your life other than cyber bullying, its pathetic.
Imagine a human couple and a zoo couple sitting together and discussing their daily lives, not only okay with non-human relations, but it no longer being a taboo in society.
I look forward to seeing this kind of attitude in the future, and what a beautiful day it would be.
Learn to love your body for how you were born, whether it be a small wiener, flat chest, big feet, 9 fingers or a huge nose.
Societal expectations are a joke, don't feel like any less or more of a person because of the physical attributes you were born with.
