Having caught up and read the entire thread to this point, I think I can answer a few general questions here and maybe give some insight as to what may be going on.
While the idea that "Zoodonym" is throwing their pals under the bus to damage control after having been caught by a roomie as they jerked off to animal rape/snuff films is extremely plausible sounding, the fact is, even the given explanation that they were a "righteous" zoophile that was against the mudersome extremes the Telegram community had taken makes so much sense that I never doubted it to begin with.
A zoophile would totally do something like that to other zoophiles to make themselves feel good.
If you understand how these people work, the given explanation, while fucking stupid, makes all the sense in the world.
Zoophiles, including both people who practice bestiality and people who fap to photos and videos of bestiality taking place, are people who have elected to occupy themselves in a way that they fully understand is considered reprehensible and thus have dedicated to engaging in antisocial behavior by their failure to divert their behavior away from this course of action.
This isn't necessarily an easy thing to do. They realize that they are excluding themselves from the criteria in which they are considered eligible for participation in normal society.
Humans are social animals. This is painful for them.
They need to cope.
They cope by constructing a reality in which they feel they are superior to someone else.
Due to the nature of this scene, there are few opportunities for people to challenge their manufactured reality, so it becomes completely real to them.
You might see zoophile circles that go APESHIT over child porn, or perhaps go APESHIT over human trafficking and even go through the theater of posting links to government websites where child porn can be reported, or have SUPER strict rules against mentions of rape or necrophilia, and yes, "zoosadism" is probably often defined as those "taboo" subjects to speak of, or post porn of.
At this point my rant sort of crosses paths with the nature of the file names of all the videos that were uploaded to the platform the screenshots were grabbed from.
I've seen people ask "why the fuck would underground people trafficking obviously unlawful videos just casually post clips with such blunt, explicit, and descriptive file names instead of being covert with generic file names".
Well, this is a detail that makes me think the chat logs are real.
Naming zoo porn file names like this goes back to at least the early P2P file exchange sites and other platforms on which files were uploaded without the ability to see a preview image prior to downloading so that the people browsing for smut can find content they're interested in as easily as possible without actually viewing the shit first, and the files generally keep their same names even after being traded and posted and reuploaded even years after their first appearnce on the underground exchanges.
So we have people trying to feel superior by adopting codes of conduct based on their aesthetics. Someone who wants to see someone shag a dog might also get revolted by the idea of blood during sex, so they can be like "oh i'm against zoosadism i hate it when animals get hurt" and the circle of zoos in question might embrace that sentiment, but it has to do with "i cant fap to this" while they pretend its part of a moral code", same for sub-facets of zoophilia porn like possible cross over with pedophila and so forth.
Another stupid "standard" an individual zoo or circle of zoos might have is "oh i hate polygymist zoos who cheat on their animals I only support people and animals that are monogomous with each other", or they might be like "we love animals in this community so any porn with sedated or drugged animals is BANNED cause we have standards and hate cruelty".
So you'll get shit where like a insane situations like where bunch of these people will be fapping to a video were two grown men put a female goat in a headlock and force a 12 year old boy to rape her vagina as the goat obviously struggles to escape, and these fuckers will post all kinds of obscene comments about how hot the video is, but then see another clip where the same two men lay the same goat on a bed, this time with her being obviously unconscious, unresponsive, and drugged, and talk the kid through acting out with the goat in different positions like a man would with a woman in bed, and THE EXACT SAME PEOPLE with throw an indignant hissy fit about what a shitty video it is and how the kid involved in the abuse should be "ashamed" for their act of raping an unconscious animal.
See, they don't care about the kids well being, or the animal's, they just happened to see something their arbitrary sensibilities rendered them unable to fap to, so they expressed that by feigning moral outrage.
Another exmaple would be a file getting uploaded as "black_kid_fucks_bay_mare.mov", and people leaving all sorts of lewd comments expressing their satisfaction with the movie, until someone points out that the person banging the horse is OBVIOUSLY a small child who's probably still losing baby teeth, then there's a huge outburst of fake outrage of people being like "omg i didn't even notice that this clip is ruined for me now" and deleting the file from the server, only to reupload it as something like "black_guy__fucks_bay_Mare.mov" and with the new file name pretending that everything is now A okay and there totally isn't child abuse involved as long as no one points out theres a kid in the video.
They can even freak out because someone uploads a video with a description like "guy bangs a horse until it comes" only to receive backlash like "how dare you disrespect a horse by calling her "IT" be respectful like a true zoophile and call her "she" you will receive a 2 day ban for this" and seriously think that this constiutes respectful behavior.
They'll even declare themselves to be "good guys" for pirating tapes issued by an underground zoophile porn studio which was found to have abandoned dozens of dogs on the street after they finished using them for porn, claiming that they're sticking up the the dogs by making it harder for the company in question to sell their tapes and profit from the abuse.
Basically they're so deeply deluded that they lose touch with reality. They'll post ted-talk like essays on how they love and respect animals alongside guides on how to forcibly condition animals so they they're receptive abuse. They'll talk about how much they hate zoosadists while uploading whatever zoo porn they want with the only guideline being "if there's no visible blood it isn't rape", they'll talk all aobut how they're against violent sex crimes and trafficking against humans, and against pedophilia, while posting content involving obvious human trafficking victims and sex slaves, including children, being forced to endure acts which can have no result other than putting those people in extreme likelyhood of physical injury, the spread of zoonotic STDs, and even aside from that putting them through some of the cruelest possible ways that a human being can be forced into sexual activity.
This all to say, these people are broken. They constructed a world view in which there's no possible way they can be the bad guys in this situation, much in the way a man can build a boat on the rooftop of his high rise apartment building, a boat they can be proud of and have faith in, only as long as the waters don't rise and the seaworthiness of their boat when put to the test of real life application proves to be full of holes and they have no choice but to drown.
They're incapable of regret until it becomes the consequences of their choices manifest in some form they're unable to avoid or divert, at which point they attain the sort of regret a person experiences between shooting themselves in the heart and the moment they lose consciousness.
The people act this way because of their walls of denial as to possible consequences, they walled themselves in from reality and are like a lifelong chain smoker who thinks "no way, only OTHER people get lung cancer", or an airline passenger who thinks "no way, only OTHER people get into plane crashes", it'll never happen to them because they are the heroes of a world they made for themselves where they are the crusaders against (insert subset of pedophilia or zoophilia they happen to have distaste for).
The same loss of touch with reality that convinces them that there's no way they can get caught until the day they actually get vanned or exposed by civilian peers is the same loss of touch with reality that allows them to rape murder and dismember animals and regard their suffering as a source of entertaining stimulation rather than a crime against nature.
This isn't necessarily a "furry problem", and I'm not saying that to imply that the organized furry subculture doesn't have fucked up and alarming problems with it, I'm saying that to establish that zoophilia and its associated sadistic sexual behavior toward animals, and the organized fandom that concerns itself with cartoon animals and fantasy creatures, but in doing so has fostered a massive safe space in which anything goes lest one be accused of kink shaming, are not separate symptoms of the same disease, but separate diseases.
One of these diseases might be remotely possible to cure into something benign rather than malignant, but the patient in question is more interested in finding ways to hide the 40 pound tumor and 110 degree fever and go out in public pretending their perfectly healthy rather than face the difficulty of admitting they might need to swallow some extremely bitter, gag inducing medicine, and an extremely painful surgery without anesthetic to have even a slight chance of eventually recovering.
What I hope is that Zoodonym outing all these other zoos has a similar effect to the Mr. Hands incident where a bunch of zoophile circles saw Mr. Hand's friends literally dump his broken dying ass and flee leaving him to suffer and die, and realize "holy shit, the people I'm entrusting my safety to since we've gone undergorund to evade outside accusations of zoophiles being awful people with no integrity turn out to be really awful people with no integrity, and a lot of people at the very least get scared away from participating in organized circles of zoophiles conspiring to commit crimes against animals and kids and distribute porn of said crimes.
If this at least scares some zoos away from doing bad shit even purely based on the fear of getting caught and not due to them actually realizing they shoudn't do bad shit, I can draw at least some positives from this horror, which is about as fruitful an endeavor as mining for liquid water on the surface of the dwarf planet Pluto.
Now I need to sleep.
