Umm, no, they rape them to death before eating them.
There is a theory that suggests wolves were domesticate through sexual activity between archaic humans and early wolves. Forming a symbiotic relationship that expands past food acquisition. This would make sense given dogs desire to hump human legs, and the fact that some humans have sexual attraction to dogs and wolves, as well as preva folklore legends of wolf-men/werewolves.
Male donkeys are notorious for trying to have sex with about everything that moves. I've seen one having sex with a sheep, one having sex with a mini horse, one trying to mount a cow and one trying to mount a dog.
None of those examples are nature. Penning animals together in captivity creates drastically different behavior from nature. No wild horse is trying to mount a wolf.
Would you happen to have any scientific articles backing this claim?
None that I have on the top of my head. It’s so taboo, I’m not sure if it’s something that has been officially published in peer reviewed journals or just speculated by researchers who are afraid of publishing something that taboo. But I can see if I can find it. All I know is I have heard of the theory before.
My personal opinion is that it's highly unlikely that humans are the only animal species in which some members have an inter-species sexual attraction. There are quite a few types of hybridization between closely related species, sexual interactions between non-human animal species not closely related, and much anecdotal evidence of attempted mating between non-human animals and humans that were initiated by the non-human animal. It's a rare person who hasn't had a dog hump them for instance where dog ownership is common.
We aren't? Civilization is nothing short of mass captivity. "Be a good little caged animal and behave within the expected parameters or be kicked out of the tribe."
I am in the process of making my own tribe!
Some of those parameters are what enabled society to function to begin with. Others are designed to keep us in a cage. That's a nuanced conversation that would quickly derail this thread.
