Honestly, @K_9River_rat and @marelover999 have absolutely hit it on the head with their answers; it's about being able to say "no" and making sure that both parties are not only OK with it at the time, but are also able to withdraw their consent at any time without repercussions.. Just like between humans!Hey, I would like to know some stuff, first of all...I didn't really know that animals could consent, how do they show that?
I don't want to restate everything that's been said before because those two really did a fantastic job describing it

I also want to second what was said about either starting a new thread or adding to this one, this information is amazing to have out there for everyone to see! However, if you're worried, nervous, shy, etc. I'm happy for you to send me a DM and we can chat more privately. I honestly believe education is the key to being a good zoo
EDIT: Actually, that DM invite is extended to anybody that has any concerns or wants to learn more about consent in animals. There are plenty of amazing resources here (search is your friend) but if you ever feel overwhelmed with the info, just hit me up. I try to be approachable
