That's not really what Singer's article was about. He said that humans have throughout history run rampant with animals, and we don't talk much about it. I don't think he was urging us to date sheep, and the most eye-catching example in the piece was of an orangutan who wanted to have his way with a human female, not vice versa. The orangutan didn't follow Hampshire rules.
I'm going to pick up the Verso book his piece was a review of and see what it's all about.
