That isn't true, Babble. Dogs lack the ability to provide informed consent to a binding legal contract.
And this is the problem which comes with not reading the THREAD...
The argument that animals and children cannot consent is a ruse... which seeks to cast a deceitful facade which appeals to popular opinion; to establish the respondent as being in adherance with conventional wisdom... that such cultural thresholds are resting on bed-rock, which
they in NO WAY seek to alter... even as they advocacte to lay the foundation to provide for precisely that... In this case, that "
CONSENT!" is an all incompassing standard which can never be altered... when in truth... consent merely stands upon a simple and
quite changable legal threshold; a threshold which is established upon a scientific consensus... a consensus which is subject to change... particularly where the 'scientists' who determine such things are long standing advocates of that which contests that very legal threshold. All that's left to do at this point, is to soften the popular consensus that such deviancies are unacceptable... and they're doing that through the advocacy that homo-sexuality is not a sexual deviancy; that homo-sexuality is not 'abnormal'... that Homo-sexuality is merely an 'alternative lifestyle.' And one which is PERFECTLY suited to be anoited with every bit of cultural legitimacy as hetero-sexuality... thus suitable for marriage.
Thus
your reasoning requires that where science DID determine such was possible, you, Angreaprostate... would therefore be obligated to accept as appropriate, the ensuing sexual relationships with Animals and Children by those who science would necessarily have concluded were NOT suffering a cognitive disorder, which provided for sexual gratification through coitus with Children and Animals.
Now you're free to contest that conclusion... and all you'll need to do so, is to show that consent is not a malleable legal threshold which rests upon manipulatable scientific concensus... and work it from there...
Best of luck to ya.
