Was some of my first videos

I enjoyed AOZ back when it was going...I was starting to like the vintage paperbacks they had a lot too.... But ZooVille has so much to offer and we all LOVE ZooVille, don't we crew?

Was also part of the AoZ community.

Got invited to meet & talk to a team member, because they where interested to have me appear in their productions.
I was unsure, because at the time they slowly started to become to commercial for my taste.
I've meet up with someone of the team for some drinks to talk about the situations & possibilities, and i didn't like in what direction AoZ was heading.

So it was a NO from me.

This 100%

Is it a cool company that makes cool videos, or is it a money machine that abuses animals for profit? In other words, is the porn that they make ethical or unethical?

I like AoZ, they did seem to be some of the more respectful groups in the space. Heavily commercialised but still seemed pretty ethical, which I've got to give them heavy props for. They're no longer in business so far as I'm aware, which is a shame

They are still very much in business, but all operations have moved to europe.

Oh well that's pretty neat! Even so, the commercialisation of it all still pushes me the wrong way great vids and great content as a whole, just worried if they grow too big it could be detrimental to everybody else

They seem to be focused on projects more than just mass production now. Most of their work is strictly for private collectors. They also upped their screening process for models

That's good to hear for sure. I'm glad they're at least self aware of the consequences of growing too lenient. For the people by the people

Like many it was one of my first introductions into things, I think some of the actresses seem to genuinely enjoy it and care for their animals but so much of what I've seen has given off weird/rapey vibes or just straight up commercial which felt icky.

Generally better than the Russian or Asian produced stuff though I guess.

100% commercial now. Part of how they restructured their funding

I don't remember the last time I watched any of their stuff but that's pretty sad for quite a few reasons =/
