Try a furry community.

To be fair, furries usually aren't into bestiality, and many condone it. Plus, furries don't see what they do as bestiality, since it's like....weird, anthro versions of themselves mixed with an animal in some horrible raping of Disney childhoods everywhere.

"Condone" means "to agree with."

From Wikipedia:

Aphids have been known to have what is called telescoping generations. The parthenogenetic, viviparous female aphid will have a daughter within her who is already parthenogenetically producing its own daughter at the same time. This leads to the situation where the diet of a female aphid can have inter-generational effects on the body size and birth rate of aphids. In other words, what the aphid eats can directly change the size and fertility of the aphid's daughters and granddaughters (Nevo and Coll 2001, Jahn et al. 2005).

Ew! Not only are they pregnant, they're daughter is pregnant with her kid too! D:

Born pregnant? They're TRIBBLES!

Some species of ants keep aphids as livestock.
