WHY DO PEOPLE SEXUALLY ABUSE ANIMALS?People sexually abuse animals for a variety of reasons. Many abusers fall into one or more of the categories below (adapted from Carol Adams):

Opportunistic/Experimental:

This type of abuse is often viewed as the

act of a curious youth or a lonely

man.

Fixated or Primary:

In this category of animal sexual abuse, animals are the primary

or exclusive focus of a

human’s sexual desires.

Domineering / Sadistic:

Some people may derive sexual
