Because I have to say this, which is sad: I personally think bestiality is gross My personal disgust response does not stop me from asking questions about the origin of cultural taboos I ask questions about a wide variety of taboo topics despite my personal disgust responses

You should check our “Righteous Mind” by Jonathan Haidt (if you haven’t). First few chapters provide some clarity on the moral dilemma.

because animals can't consent in the way that consent & language are understood. being assaulted by a human is sadly a common form of abuse that often leaves dogs with deep psychological scars.

My take: Disgust is a compound response, of separate yet related revulsion scales of biological instinct, socialization, aesthetic (learned), aesthetic (innate), fear, and empathy (imagining you're doing the act). Taboos are often based on a feedback loop of this comp. response.

Wheres the evolutionary advantage to animal attraction? There isnt so we developed disgust. It doesnt have to be all socially acquired.

I think disgust is a biologically (or/and evolutionary) imposed barrier designed to prevent behaviour that may be harmful or incongruent to furthering the development of the species. Such as eating poo, or sex with non-human animals.

Your socialisation claim is gratuitous. This is a chicken versus egg question. Gay sex *still* disgusts me (as do a lot of other consensual sexual practices), but that doesn't mean I disapprove of it. Why *wouldn't* disgust sometimes be innate? Is my dislike of celery socialised?
