This whole article is… I don’t even know what to say.
“Denmark passed legislation on Tuesday banning bestiality, toughening a law that animal rights activists feared was encouraging animal sex tourists to visit the country.”
“There are frequent reports of the occurrence of organised animal sex shows, clubs and animal brothels in Denmark,”
Animal brothels?
“Justice Ministry report surveyed veterinarians and found 17 percent of them suspected that an animal they treated had had intercourse with a human.”
Last year’s World Happiness Report from the United Nations ranked Denmark the happiest nation on Earth, with an average life satisfaction score of 7.69 out of 10. Jul 17, 2014
I suspect that 50% or more of animal sex might not be consensual. Sometimes dogs just jump on another dog and start humping. Guys, that is raping. (Or at best it’s like that spontaneous boning as seen in the Dothraki party in Game of Thrones.)
Funny that some care if animals consent to sex but nothing else. Where they live, if they live, when they’re confined, what they eat, when they go for a walk, what medical care they receive, who touches them…Safe to assume animals don’t want to be abused, such as confining them against their will, but it happens everyday, all day, legally.
Yeah now that you mention it, it is weird that you can execute animals for food, imprison and molest them, or go outside and shoot a deer in the face. However, sexing them is somehow forbidden. What about those guys whose job is to jerk off the cheetahs to collect sperm?
I think the purpose of anti-bestiality laws is to prevent humans from doing things that other humans would consider to be weird and perverse shit, not to protect animals. This would explain why other forms of perversions, like necrophilia, are also banned.
The issue is one of consent, which is mentioned in many of the bestiality laws. Pretty sure most don’t care if a child wants to have sex with adult strangers. It’s still illegal. Apparently, in Oregon and Denmark, bestiality is legal if the animal consents. How that is determined, I have no idea.
