Stop trying to claim this isn't serious research. Here are her actual finding (one year's worth of observation).
Human companions took active roles in intervening in incidents between dogs, providing an avenue for insight into the gendered status of the a-/moral paradox in human interpretations of domesticated canine behavior. Humans made some attempt to intervene in dog fights 99% of the time, by raising voice(s) (91%), attempting to physically intervene (19%), and other behaviors (29%) including shocking dogs who wore electric dog collars, swinging leashes, pulling out food, blowing horns, and in rare cases singing at the dogs or (once) doing jumping jacks next to the dogs, presumably as a distraction.
The response to dog rapes/humping incidents, however, was markedly different than to dog fights. The data suggest that the deciding variable for whether or not a human would interfere in a dog’s rape/humping incident was the dog’s gender. When a male dog was raping/humping another male dog, humans attempted to intervene 97% of the time. When a male dog was raping/humping a female dog, humans only attempted to intervene 32% of the time. Moreover, humans encouraged the male dog (to ‘get her, boy!’ in one case) 12% of the time and laughed out loud 18% of the time when a female dog was being raped/humped. Humans only laughed 7% of the time when a male dog was raped/humped, and many male owners showed shame consistent with a homophobic response in many such instances (Anderson 2004 Anderson, Irina. 2004. “Explaining Negative Rape Victim Perception: Homophobia and the Male Rape Victim.” Current Research in Social Psychology 10 (4): 43–57. [Google Scholar]; Doherty and Anderson 2004 Doherty, Kathy, and Irina Anderson. 2004. “Making Sense of Male Rape: Constructions of Gender, Sexuality and Experience of Rape Victims.” Journal of Community & Applied Social Psychology 14 (2): 85–103.10.1002/(ISSN)1099-1298[Crossref], [Web of Science ®], [Google Scholar]).
These figures were also skewed by the gender of human companions. Female human companions attempted to intervene in a dog’s rape/humping incident, regardless of the dog’s gender, 98% of the time. Male human companions were far less likely to intervene in the rape/humping of a female dog than a male dog, with interventions occurring only 18% of the time. (As previously mentioned, I do not have accurate data on the sexual orientations of human companions to know whether or not that variable was statically significant regarding attempts to stop a dog’s rape/humping, though this intersection between sexual orientation and dog rape/humping prevention willingness could constitute a fruitful vein for future research.)
