I’m not sure which is more disturbing… the fact that Germany felt the need to finally outlaw bestiality — or the idea that they specifically legalized it in 1969.
Newspaper die Tageszeitung reports that the governing coalition are soon to amend the country’s Animal Welfare Act to make sex with animals punishable with a fine of up to 25,000 euros ($31,000).
Bestiality was legalised in Germany in 1969, the same year that gay sex was also removed from the criminal code. After that, sex with animals was only punishable if the animal was severely injured.
However animal welfare groups have pushed for the ban to be reinstated, in an advertising campaign that used dramatic examples of “animal rape”.
Agriculture minister Ilse Aigner has agreed to change the law to make it illegal for people to “use (animals) for their own sexual activities or sexual acts of third parties” – which also bans the ‘pimping’ of animals to others.
However the move has aroused the ire of zoophile group ZETA.
Lobbyist Michael Kiok, who lives with his dog Cassie, told the newspaper there were more than 100,000 zoophiles in Germany.
“Mere morals have no place in law,” he said.
Mr Kiok said he was worried that if the law took effect the authorities would try to take away his dog.
I have a distant relation in Denmark who’s an animal rights type, and she’s been doing Facebook posts about outlawing the same thing in her country. What I want to know is whether they’ve done serious research to see if there’s a “bestiality gene.” Because that would make it natural and beautiful, you know.
Well there ya go, Malcolm Brenner. Best be selling that apartment on the Baltic.
Now if they could internationally ban movies about bestiality, we wouldn’t have to suffer the existence of teens swooning over dreamy vampires and werewolves. Somehow, that bestiality is romantic.
I was married to a rat. That doesn’t count, does it?
Cocktail for Matt!
Mr. Kiok said he was worried that if the law took effect the authorities would try to take away his dog. ‘
I wonder if anyone bothered to ask the dog what he or she would prefer.
About the time I moved to Vegas in 1986, there was an incident that was being reported in the local news about a man who was a regular visitor to the local, privately funded zoo. He had been caught and prosecuted for about the 5th time, as a result of having been caught making whoopee with the zoo’s resident goat named Lucy. The most unnerving part of the article was not the man’s sentence to prison, but the serious remarks about the goat having to have psychological counseling after the act!
Well, wouldn’t you need psychological counseling after that?
Prey animals have an innate fear of us predators. That can be conditioned out of them with food and kindness. Just imagine what this man (and I’m not sure he qualifies) conditioned into poor Lucy! I hope justice was served when word went around the prison that this guy was in for breaking and entering, tresspass, and bestiality. I hope he needed to have psychological counseling after the act, too!
And yet another thing wrong with Europe…that and Tony Blair hee hawing about Europe needing a President. And EEWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW
Do a search for “Enumclaw horse video”
No. I will not.
Hell to the no Ortega…
Just pointing out that this sort of thing can be found among our own so-called sophistcates.
(and why you people in nice rural areas and Texas and such may want to rethink welcoming refugees from Californica and New England.)

“Get off, Rover.”
“Rover, come.”
