I think that agricultural breeding stuff also wierds people out a little, on first hearing. Our instinct to notice this sort of impropriaty is keen.

But being an agriculture practice, goal-oriented... most people leave it at weird and move on.

Here, there's more eccentricity. LSD, interspecies communication, alien languages, animal personhood.... It doesn't take many leaps to get to "drug fueled bestiality."
