I've composed myself a bit now, so I just wanted to reply to this:
Other animal, or other animal from the same species? Non-human animals have sex with other species of non-human animals, we should get that straight. It's not humans who invented it.
Why is it okay for a dog to have sex with a seal, but not with a human, provided that it's for mutual enjoyment and neither part is being forced to take part in the act? Is it because the human "knows better than that"?
But what if he/she doesn't? What if he/she is severely mentally impaired and just wants to act on the urge, and there happens to be an animal around also willing to act on its sexual urge? And the two engage in a mutually satisfying sexual act? Would it be wrong then?
If animals do in fact have sexual 'needs,' and it's not simply an instinct to reproduce (not being a veterinarian or biologist, I cannot say for sure.) then they can be free to complete the act with another animal who shares the same desire. The second a human allows or initiates a sexual act between the two, it is not only rape, but a crime, as it should be..

I am not 'obsessed' with anything, it is simply an example. No matter what the sexual contact is, an animal does not have the capacity to consent to the act, and unlike a human, they do not know any better. They are spurred on by their instincts to reproduce and will do it with another dog, a fire hydrant, or yes, even a human's leg. That doesn't mean it's alright to masturbate the friggin dog. A human has the ability (unlike the dog) to stop and think "gee, is rubbing the dogs penis, having sex with them etc a good/moral/legal thing to do?" .
