Zoo Code

The Zoo Code is an Internet self-classification code based upon the Geek Code and adapted and used within the online zoophile subculture from around 1996, intended as a shorthand "signature" to describe themselves, their philosophies, and their stances on certain common issues such as animal welfare and vegetarianism.
It achieved some degree of popularity for a time and is still occasionally encountered today, having also been translated into French and German.
The Zoo Code was inspired by similar codes invented within other virtual communities at the time, such as Robert Hayden's "Geek Code", Ross Smith's "Furry Code", Bob Donahue's "Bear Code", and Peter Caffin's "Goth Code".
