I know we have Zeta, but apart from that I am not aware of anything else. Can tell me if there's a list of symbols somewhere, or what the flag is?
What are the Zoophilia symbols/icons?

.. what did you assemble as your plan?
Do you plan on getting shot (or outside of U.S.: getting beaten) 37 times "accidentally" not only by the cops, but as well by every bystander that sees the corresponding flag?
The reason there's no need for a flag or a specific symbol lays in it resembling a widely visible sign expressing the enemy of almost anyone. You can only be proud as long as your head is intact, this means: don't do stupid things which might lead to it's destruction. Don't wear an IS flag or shirt in Manhattan, as well.
That's the reason why the zeta symbol is not worn visible anymore nowadays and you shouldn't join any alphabet demonstration with it visible. There were zetapin collars and even rings 20+ years ago.

Just use paw prints on your accessories if you want to express a connection to canides, as example.
They're widely used by non-zoophiles as well and resemble merely: "I love dogs (as pets, platonically)", which is why most persons plain ignore or don't care about it.
Those talking with you about it are mostly non-zoophile dog owners, tho. As such don't expect them to react positively if you mention erotic connection to animals. It's still an easy sign that you love dogs (as pets), which is at least something.

This is the old flag, few people use it because it can be confused with LGBTQ flags.
This is the new flag, more people like it.
This is an alternative to the new flag.
As a symbol, the zeta is used most often, this star rarely. The use of paws, hooves, and horseshoes is also widespread among those who are only attracted to certain species.
Of course, a paw does not mean that someone is a zoophile, but a tattoo on the inner thigh can be a reason for suspicion.

Wonderful. Looks outright like a splinter cell terrorist logo from Afghanistan / Iraq wars. Hooray. ?

Nah, I'll just forget about "zoo"-flags. Helps more in the long-term. Else there are 30 derivations of the "zoo" flag over just two years due to being outed and shunned on shortly after getting publicly known. Not necessary.

The first two are the most common, the second is fine for me. Only the order is strange, because they would mean earth, water, air because of the animals living in it, only earth would be at the bottom, water in the middle and air at the top, at least that's how physics works on this planet.
Quite clearly if someone wants to parade this flag somewhere in public, they are not from this planet.

You're freaking out about a flag that looks like it came from a video game? I understand how you feel if that was the flag of the bad guys but IRL if you want to see the flags of terrorists they usually consist of a weapon and a lot of funny looking scribble on it.Wonderful. Looks outright like a splinter cell terrorist logo from Afghanistan / Iraq wars. Hooray. ?

And it has red or black colors, which is a symbol of blood, fire, hell, death.
Or the red light district on a dutch night.

Not freaking out about any flag and I know IS(IL or IS) flags quite well.
What I wrote includes: It - all three of them - look horrible ugly for me. They're as well valueless.
And one might look horrible after raising such a flag proudly in streets. Because some people will know and hate what it resembles.
Not sure why people would want this. Anyway: if someone decides in using such a flag openly visible, good luck with the remaining population.

There's Zeta, and the star, the cyan-brown-green colours (if you really push it), but not much else. It's not like we, as a community, have a need for many symbols -- unlike homosexuals in the 60's, we don't need secret codes to talk to eachother, since all we need are closed doors and to walk far from the government's prying eyes. Zoophiles thrive in secrecy, is what I'm saying.
But anyone else here also gets that random urge at 3:00 AM to just get up and record themselves as they graffiti the pride flag and a dog/cat/horse/cow/etc. on some random underpass? With a mask, hoodie, and sunglasses, of course.
Someday...

They exist in secrecy.. at least if they want to exist for a long time without being hunt or jailed, yes.
Just: designing an own flag and being proud of it .. in the own 40 square meters approx.? Somehow I can't grasp the reason for this.
And waving it proudly outside would break the "secrecy" quite intensely.
Actually that's more than enough for like 90% of the anti's to recognize what you mean.
It was one of the first publicly worn signs on bracelets, jewellery and comparable. No easier way to get recognized, aside from being seen at erotic activities with animals..
..
No?
I might get the urge to paint my house walls outside in a nice white at 3 AM, tho. Not a fan of random useless graffiti anywhere, even less to express my erotic preferences.

That's quite an interesting viewpoint.
It seems you've settled into thinking about zoophilia more as a fringe sexual preference, and I've noticed a lot of older zoos like you have, too. That's a perfectly valid way to think about it! But I'm more interested in Zoophilia as a kind of movement; I want to fight for the freedom to love whomever you want to love, regardless of species. I want to fight for non-humans, to free them of this dystopian nightmare that we've subjected them to.
This is why I'm interested in symbols, in flags, and in drawing propaganda: because I believe that the legalisation of zoophilia is the right thing; that it's something worth dying for.

How do you reach this conclusion?
Fringe? Why should my natural sexuality be fringe?
It's as natural as what humans participate in mainly across population.But you seem to think that individual sexuality aspects are something you need a movement for, which is incorrect.
Sexuality is an individual desire. As such different for each individual, even in slight amounts. And it goes further than sexuality - erotic interests span further than it. It can individually represent acceptable or unacceptable aspects, as well. It's not something you could just "allow for all" and have no more worries, as you can be sure that there are (lots of) people taking it to their own individual goals and those are not acceptable for most humans, even if the main concept would be legalized.
Else it wouldn't be necessary to have quite the clear set of rules for this forum. And differing opinions about those, all the time - by individuals which imagine "their" freedom outside of those.
A "freedom for all, independently and open-minded"? Sounds good, doesn't work.
Oh noes. Okay, good luck fighting for something which you can already participate fully unharmed in by keeping to your own concept:
Every bit of attention will reduce your usable grey areas and gets used to ensure more and more surveillance of the masses, everyone, to "keep them safe from scum like you", basically. I worked almost five years in exactly those areas of surveillance technologies prior and they're one of the "big things" of our time. Yay - or not?
Reason is simple: Because 90%+ of "the masses" aka majority actually are sure that you are scum and there's no way to prove them otherwise. As such it's an easy way to get industrial and state-related interests into acceptance for the masses: by telling them it's necessary to prevent something 90%+ of them hate deeply. Yay for those activists creating tools allowing steering of mass decisions.
Not that it would help anyone anywhere at the end. Because at the end all suffer from less freedom: the few "bad ones" exactly the same as all "good ones" - depending on the standpoint.
There were times where zoophiles were less hunted. Medial coverage (which follows any activism) did not change anything to the better.
Fortunately I don't need to "die for my sexual interests", as they are a fully private thing to participate in.
The zeta symbol is fairly well accepted, but there is no 'leader of the zoos' who gets to decide what 'our' flag is. If you really want to fly a flag, you're free to put one together that represents who you are. But all the symbols, flags, lists of codes, or whatever, were just assembled by one or a few guys, and while some were accepted by many zoos, all of them were rejected by other zoos.

The reason zoophilia is fringe is self-explanatory. Only a minority of humanity engages in it.How do you reach this conclusion?

Ah, that sort of fringe. An uncommon concept. I had the sort of enclosure in mind, as such "to keep an interest enclosured / in borders".
And I'm not for keeping it enclosured or as I would write it: unaccepted for one self. If someone is interested in it, it's fine to live with it as a normal sexuality for themself.
Yes, compared to other mainstream sexual interests there's only a small shard of zoophiles and as such it's not a common concept.
