Increasing evidence has been mounting suggesting that certain species of animals have language. They communicate to each other in patterns which can be highly correlated as speech using modern data-crunching methods (in particular machine learning).

These computerized language-interpretation technologies will continue to be developed as part of an ongoing scientific endeavor, and likely eventually facilitate communication between a human operator and an animal subject.

Now this raises an important philosophical question. What happens when inevitably a human and an animal express sexual interest in each other and verbally confirm consent?
