Not your fault; common misconception. I was just using the biting thing as an example. Just as you can tell weather or not an animal wants anything else or not you can tell weather or not it wants sex though it's movements, expressions, and the noises it makes. For example, it the animal is whimpering and has it's tail between it's legs, and is trying to slip away, you can tell it's in an uncomfortable situation.
Having sex with someone who is special needs and does not have the capacity to understand what is going on, whether or not they enjoy it, is considered a sex offense.
Consent isn't simply whether or not a person enjoys something. It also takes into consideration the person's perceived capacity to understand what is actually going on beyond the "feeling" of having sex and to properly act on that understanding. Hence, why a 16 year old is illegal for a 47 year old man to fuck but the same man can fuck an 18 year old girl. The 16 year old girl isn't even legally allowed to move in with him should she get pregnant, abort the child (in many states) and, in some cases, even make her own private medical decisions. He's basically fucking a legally powerless individual so it being against the law gives her some type of power.
The animal can get hurt or killed in the acts performed upon it or contract a disease. The animal can't go to the doctor and may not even understand why or how it is hurting.
IIN that people use this argument so often?
