Theriophilia
As theriophily (from ancient Greek θηρίον Therion , German , (wild) animal, creature ' and philia ) are referred to the beliefs or thought patterns that idealize the animal existence and arrange human life forms morally. The term goes back to ( Boas 1933 ). ( Lovejoy 1935 pp. 389-420) examines the same phenomenon in the history of ideas under the term animalitarianism .
The superficially very similar term zoophilia ( ancient Greek ζώον zṓon can also mean “animal”) stands for the sexual attraction to animals .
