I didn't find it "ranty" at all....but you say in one breath that you believe animals can give consent, and then say basically that like a child they CANNOT because an animal will never be "smart" enough to give informed consent. That is the contradiction. I agree that no matter the evidence that an animal is happily living with their human sexual partner there will be those (likely a majority) who will NEVER believe it is a truly consentual relationship. BUT....this question wasn't about that....the idea that it will be accepted. It was does the poll respondent PERSONALLY believe that an animal is capable of giving consent.
Do you think that animals can give consent?

Deleted the post since I kept getting paranoid about it, and it was definitely too ranty since I launched off into a somewhat off-topic subject.
I don't think that's a contradiction because the level of consent they are capable of giving is always open to interpretation.
To the answer the poll, though, I do think they can give consent.
