There is a rather unexpected debate occurring in Germany where the government is moving to re-criminalize bestiality. Since 1969, bestiality has been legal in Germany, but it would now be punishable with a fine up to 25,000 euros ($31,000).
In 1969, the country decriminalized both homosexuality and bestiality. It is not clear why these two acts seemed related or whether the country would countenance acts of bestiality or “animal rape” as activists have called it in Germany. Under the existing law, sex with animals was only punishable if the animal was severely injured.
What is interesting is that the re-criminalization of bestiality is opposed by a zoophile group called ZETA. Lobbyist Michael Kiok estimated that there are more than 100,000 zoophiles in Germany. Kiok lives with his dog Cassie and says that he fears the state will now separate them. He insisted “Mere morals have no place in law.”
The last point is familiar to many civil libertarians who oppose morality law from criminal adultery law to criminal fornication law. Kiok however misses the point. Animals cannot give their consent to such acts. The mistake of Germany was to equate bestiality with homosexuality in the first place — a connection drawn in the past by Justice Scalia.

Do not criminalize anything especially sex. We are to judge ourselves. To condemn is to condemn ourselves. Our body sins just because it dies killing life to live. Don’t penalize Peolpe for having a form of sex. That is to God a crime. Don’t people know anything about how Jesus would be not knowing how devious his enemies were? Can’t the enemy of the zoo see that they behave exactly like the conniving scheming lets see how we can trap him people against Jesus? That is what is against the zoo. Open your eyes. When people follow the Lord in me they become peacful.
Satan is the criminal. He works through people to give what the devil gives. Jesus gives what he gives. Jesus does not say criminal pointing his finger. Had he non of us people that die would be here.
Legal laws cause frustration. Legal law is a form of war. Legal does not free anyone. Have legal law have jails. Once to live, and them the judgment. I would think the churches know that one. Why don’t they teach it? It is eternal soul life or not. It is that simple. People that do not free like Jesus frees do not have him in them freeing anyone. Free the zoosexual

hange begins with choice. Germany wants to take away choice. To have a fine for engaging in what is in reality one thing called sex is beyond words to describe, and yet people want to war against that one three letter word. Fine a person for engaging in that one three letter word. To do that condemns themselves for doing the same thing. Satan is self destructive. Germany needs to not be self destructive allowing whoever to make their own choice to engage in zoosexual sex or not. Jesus never fined anyone nether would he fine anyone. His enemies would fine whoever. Be godly Germany. Free the zoo. Don’t enslave the zoo with fear. That will free you too.

many of the usual things they once enjoyed go out the window.
Never try to remove a pizza stone from the oven until
it is completely cooled. It didn’t help that every pizza recipe I saw online would mention the dreaded “bread machine.

Eric. I have to add to your comment on Gene H’s: “Putting aside the consent issue, it’s just nasty, but as long as the animals weren’t injured?” Who will determine if an animal is injured by the sex act? How will that be monitored? Not all unconsenting animals will be or are large. I have heard of human sex with cats, small dogs, chickens, monkeys, and a rather long list of other small creatures where the result was severe injury and painful death. Picture an erect penis wearing a skunk glove. While I don’t like animals being used that way, perhaps there can be some way to successfully parse sex with larger animals from sex with smaller animals, making sex with “smaller” animals animal cruelty. On the health issue, sex with animals is potentially dangerous.
DrSigne There is one judge. : Scribes and pharisees were constantly monitoring Jesus to try to find fault in him. People having sex with animals that are to small are not using good judgment. They and they alone will have to answer for what they do, and no one else. People will see Gods light as comforting doing good or not. People have to think abut that.
With the requirement of consent, what becomes of animal breeding and animal husbandry?
Good question. People using the word consent has one purpose, and one purpose alone, and that is to create conflict. The devil is the originator of conflict. Conflict is bad.
GeneH – The animal is having sex without its consent which, by definition, means that it was harmed – it was raped.
I completely agree with all of the comments that the government has no business interfering in the private sex act between consenting adults. Consenting adults being the key phrase.
Animals are fellow sentient beings, they are not here to be raped by us, eaten by us, or to be forced to perform for our entertainment in movies or the circus.
Erotic zoo? Hundred Years of Solitude!!
Jesus frees People. The devil banes people from doing what they want to do under the sun handing out penalties. Do people want to lose their soul doing the devils biding or save their soul doing the Lords bidding?
That guy admiring to sex with another species is funny. The fool condemns another getting an equal reward in return. Can anyone guess what that is?
Bestiality is sex. What is against it is war. War is premeditated murder thinking that the killer or jailer is doing a good thing. Sounds like stone throwers, and arresters who arrested Jesus. jesus stopped stones from being thrown keeping people from warring.
Frankly:
>> Florida was just having the same fight in its state
>> legislature. […] I guess to [the GOP] two
>> consenting adults who happen to be of the same sex
>> is right out but a man and a cow, well thats OK.
I’m sure one particular Georgia republican and self-admitted zoophile would approve of legalizing bestiality.

Neal Horsley…what an utterly appropriate name for a practitioner of bestiality.
Are there really enough people who want to have sex with animals that it’s an issue? Why would anyone want to do it in the first place? That said, I can understand criminalizing it – not just from the sexual standpoint, but for public health, the possibility of diseases crossing species (e.g. scrapie becoming mad cow disease).
Why, if it was criminalized, would anyone decriminalize it? That’s the mindboggling part.
As for the claim that animals are the ones being hurt, that’s not always the case. I have two words for you: “Mr. Hands”. Look it up if you don’t know.
