Let's be completely honest here.

The main reason why zoophilia is wrong is because animals lack sentience and therefore cannot possibly give consent.

The Turtles, however, are sentient, so if a human and one of the Turtles had a mutual attraction, the Turtle should be able to give consent on sexual relations.

Not to mention that previous TMNT incarnations actually gave one of the Turtles a human love interest or at least a love interest who used to be human.

Did any of you forget that Leonardo had a relationship with Radical in the Mirage comics, or that Mona Lisa, a mutant lizard who was HUMAN before her mutation, was meant to be Raphael's girlfriend in the 1987 cartoon?

Anyone who thinks that the Turtles being attracted to a human counts as zoophilia is just thinking too hard about things.

And don't even try to bring up Peter Laird's "turtles don't mate with humans" speech. Like other opinions of his, I have grown very sick of it.
