How is bestiality wrong, but killing animals for sport or trophies is considered okay?

I don’t think any of that is okay.

In the event animals are to be killed, for food or safety, I believe it should be done as humanely as possible, with as little fear and awareness of danger/death by the animal as possible, with as little pain for the animal as possible. Sometimes, euthanasia is the proper moral choice for an animal that is only going to suffer until it dies anyway.

As for using an animal for sexual gratification, I don’t believe forced sex is okay either, with humans or animals.

From an axiology/value theory point of view, how can one say that a diverse society is better than a uniform one, especially given the negative effects of diversity (racism, sectarian conflict, problems arising from extreme cultural relativism)?

I have no problem with keeping pets, I have always had dogs and cats. I have no problem keeping them confined or on a leash (as long as that does not physically harm them), that is for their safety; and prolonging an enjoyable life.
