From a wartime perspective: Rape (and looting, murder, and kidnapping) is more indicative of a breakdown in unit behavior and command. You'll see more incidents of rape with a unit that has been drafted but not well trained with low morale, as opposed to an all-volunteer unit with standard or better training and a high degree of morale.
Rape is also used as a weapon by agressors or as a means of revenge. Examples would include the Rwandan Genocide, The Nanjing Massacre, The Rape of Berlin, The fall of Saigon, the current Sudanese Genocide, and the developing conflicts in northern Nigeria.
From a civilian perspective: You'll find little, if any, reported incidents of rape against men since men tend to react to the incident far more aggresively than women. This is true for both jail-related incidents and street-crime.
As for animals, I couldn't care any less. I'm not as concerned of being raped by a koala than I am of "Big Bubba".
