Perhaps we shouldn't try to apply our own cultural taboos to human sexuality. Who are we to assume humans were meant to be mono-sexual... of all the animal kingdom this article could only come up with 11 examples.

Atleast animals do not have all the nasty sexually transmitted diseases. An intelligent ani mal like human being should be having a sensible culture of amono-sexualism if it can save the human race form HIV/AIDS and other sexually transmitted diseases that have no cure. LET US USE OUR BRAIN

You obviously do not own a cat or you would be aware that FIV or Feline Immune Virus is sexually transmitted among cats and is a big killer among the stray population. Also HIV was originally thought to have come from monkeys in Africa. Sexually transmitted diseases are NOT limited to humans and are prevalent across many animal species. The deference is, it's a Darwinist survival of the fittest out in the animal kingdom, either the animal grow immunities or they simply die.

Black vultures

Good looks are not a prerequisite to a faithful relationship. In fact, black vulture society makes sure of that. They have been known to attack other vultures that have been caught philandering!
