Since when did horses play fetch?

Review: "I have never been so moved to vomit! Although I am glad to learn that beastiality is finally a felony in Washington state because of this tragedy... I am so disgusted that it happened and has the potential to happen again. What is wrong with people?! Can't we show love to our pets merely by taking them for walks and playing fetch?"

How it misses the point: Robinson Devor’s “Zoo” is a pensive, melancholy documentary about people who fuck horses. It centers on the infamous “Mr. Hands,” a man whose equine escapades resulted in internal bleeding and eventually death. Through dramatizations and voiceovers, the movie portrays horse-fuckers (or “zoos,” as they prefer to be called) as sensitive and misunderstood. They say things like, “It’s an intense connection with another being” and, “We cannot talk with them about art and music, but our love goes deeper than that.” A strong case is made that horses enjoy fucking people. And the movie ends with a horse trainer conceding that she can begin to understand what motivates zoos.

The above review misses the point because the documentary is critical of those who just point and gawk at behavior they do not understand. Occasional clips from local news stations heighten our understanding of how the zoos are demonized, and the above reviewer falls into the exact same trap. It’s as if he/she watched the movie and paid zero attention to its content. I’m not totally convinced that horse-fuckers are just like you and me, but I can see how they’re misconstrued as cruel.

While you may not approve of his proclivities, watching "Zoo" will help you realize that there is more to this horse-fucker than serious deep dicking.
