    I lived in Enumclaw when this happened. Everyone was surprised, but no one was sympathetic. These people are sick and need help. IT became a joke for a while- hey, i went to Enumclaw to ride a horse the other day.

    Take a walk on the wild side. Don't you want to know how a father, and successful engineer for Boeing, could end up dying by receiving anal sex from a horse? I've heard of people having sex with animals before and I always assumed that they were under the influence of alcohol and or drugs, or they were insane. It's interesting to hear people, who are apparently able to blend in with society, try to rationalize how they can have a sexual relationship with an animal. Furthermore, the incident that this film focuses on involves a man (Mr. Hands, the engineer) who allowed himself to be mounted by a horse. It's not a case of some randy drunk who rapes a dog; thats a different situation. These "zoo" people seem to have a genuine love for their animals and insist that they do not force the animals to participate. Thats not hard to imagine, as many people have had a dog ride their leg. If you allow a dog to ride your leg, is that bestiality? Are you abusing the dog? FYI ,I don't know, I don't own a dog or a horse, and I love my cat, but I can't imagine a sexual attraction to any animal. If you follow some religion, the issue might be clear to you - it's just forbidden by your god. But for those of us who are willing to examine human behavior from a more objective standpoint, this film will raise interesting questions about the nature of love.… Expand

    Devor doesn't endorse horse-on-man sex, but he does attempt--with sympathy--to account for the appeal.

    Zoo avoids any taint of exploitation, but it errs on the opposite extreme. I came away from it wanting a little less Art and a lot more simple reportage.

    Quiet, sensitive, resolutely unsensational documentary about virtually the most sensational subject you can imagine.
