I would argue the opposite, a human child could be more damaged by sexual abuse than an animal even with therapy because our understanding of sex, love, interacting with opposite gender, self worth and parenthood are much more complex and rape throws all of those into disarray.I've always considered fucking animals to be the lowest of the low because as terrible as they both are humans are ultimately much better at recovering from trauma than animals. A molested child can receive therapy and still has a chance to lead a normal life when they become older, whereas most animals that experience trauma never gain the mental fortitude to recover at all.
choleraWould you rather die of plague or of cholera? There are questions that should never be asked - or answered. The situation is fucked either way.
