as a zoo, i have wandered about different pockets of the zoo community for years now. many are too lax on abuse, many are bigoted, many pretend to see animals as more than sex objects but betray their true beliefs in how they speak about them. i brought this up to some of my friends, and many of them saw what i was talking about. [email protected] and i together created this term. the orginal "zeta" movement has seen far too many zoos claim to be part of it while not truly insisting upon the ethical treatment of animals.
the moon represents anti-abuse zoosads and necrozoos, therianthropy and alterhuman zoos, and the end of an era of exclusionism, bringing in an era of accountability + eventual forgiveness
the sun represents zooyaps, zoo love, hope for better days, the sun shining down on all species and zoophiles and their allies. the seven points are for the seven principles
the yin yang represents the coexistence of zoo joy and zoo rage/resistance and harmony between all zoos
the gold was added to symbolize para acceptance and more intersectionality. the sun shines down upon all of us.
the colors are brighter than the typical zoo flag to symbolize how we believe in a brighter future if we all fight for it
the neozeta movement or ideology follows a somewhat modernized and adjusted version of the zeta principles, as follows:
bestow upon other animals the same kindness one would wish bestowed upon oneself and would bestow upon others.
consider the wellbeing of other animals as important as ones own.
place the animals will and wellbeing ahead of ones desires for gratification, sexual or not.
teach those who seek knowledge about interspecies sex and zoophilia without promoting interspecies sex.
discourage the practice of interspecies sex in the presence of those who view other animals as a means to an end.
censure the exploitation of animals for the purpose of financial gain.
censure those who practice and promote animal abuse.
