german cow In which European country is bestiality legal?

Yes, you can still have sex with animals.

 

Ok, deep breath. You’re going to need it.

Germany’s coalition government has announced plans to outlaw bestiality (the practice of humans having sex with animals).

Yes, that does mean that you can currently have sex with an animal in Germany. An EU country. In 2012.

Let’s all take a moment to pick our jaws off the floor and let that sink in.

Bestiality ceased being a criminal offence in Germany in 1969. There are some restrictions: Although the actual act of having sex with animals is not illegal, Germany bans the use of animals for the creation of pornography and there are restrictions on bestiality when “significant harm” is inflicted on the animal.

The renewed debate over a ban is in response to a growth in animal ‘pimping’, where animals are farmed and sold for the purpose of zoophilia. There have also been reports of ‘erotic zoos’, which turn zoophilia into a lucrative tourism opportunity for Germany, one of the few countries where the practice is still permitted.

The proposed changes to the law will shift the focus from determining whether harm was inflicted to forcing animals to engage in “actions alien to the species.”

But not everyone is happy about these changes FUNNILY ENOUGH. This from the Huffington Post:

Pro-zoophilia campaign group ZETA (Zoophiles Commitment to Tolerance and Enlightenment) says it will legally challenge the ban.

Zeta Chairman Michael Kiok, who lives with his dog Cessy, estimates the number of zoophiles in Germany to be at 100,000, and insists he does not engage in any activities which harm animals.

He told Taz.de: “Sex is not just penetration. You can masturbate the animal, lick his hand or lick or leave.

“Animals are much easier to understand that, say women.”

We have chosen not to include images of some of the men

The ‘disgusting’ descriptor does not even remotely suffice.

Editor’s Note: Mamamia has chosen not to include images of the disturbingly ordinary looking men, who appear on the Huffington Post alongside the stomach turning descriptions of the animals they claim to have ‘affairs’ with including dolphins, goats, miniature donkeys.

    You have to wonder how this game would have turned out if Robert Griffin III hadn’t tweaked his knee in the first quarter and erased any chance he had of being effective under center.

    Or if Redskins coach Mike Shanahan had turned the offense over to Kirk Cousins, who has shown in the past that he can win games (as a backup and as a starter). Instead, Griffin might have hurt himself even worse in the fourth quarter on a botched snap, and Cousins had little chance to overcome a 10-point deficit.

    This is so sick. But soon arguments about ‘lifestyle choice’ and the uncontrollable nature of ‘love’ and the ‘human right’ to express that love will start surfacing and we will need to create politically correct language just to suit the laws that support it. Gross. Hopeless. Its a sick sick world we live in.

    The exploitation of other animals by human animals has always been confusing, depressive and ugly.
    As a vegetarian I came to the conclusion decades ago that for me anyway – eating other animals was “not on”………..the treatment of other animals in the food industries is not “okay” ………no matter how kindly farmers deal with the animals in their care – those animals are killed for commerce.

    Imagine an Alien landing on our planet and trying to figure out our relationship with other animals.
    Some animals we lavish with food & praise & shelter….we appear to genuinely love them.
    Some animals we group together in large paddocks, water & feed them and before they live out their natural life span, we herd into over-crowded trucks and cart their terrified beings off to slaughter-houses where they’re killed and butchered for their bodies & skins & other body parts – this is mainly for food even though the protein their meat provides is also available from other sources in our wealthier societies.
    We also slaughter birds & sea creatures for food although some of us actually risk our lives to prevent the slaughter of whales (for eg) when other humans claim they’re required for “scientific purposes”.

    In some islands near Norway the aliens could witness (if they could bear it) the vicious, bloody slaughter (by the inhabitants) of Pilot whales lured to their deaths in shallow water. Called a “tradition” by these human animals the sea runs red with blood as these gentle creatures are hacked to death in front of human children………this is also supposed to be for food even though those humans don’t appear to be starving and who clearly enjoy this carnage way too much.
    In fact, around the world this horrible spectacle is repeated again & again and yet, when some other humans try to get in the way to stop it – their safety is threatened.
    Then of course we have the world’s “trouble spots” – where disgraceful violence & murder is carried out amongst children all for the acquisition of real estate and “honour”.
    Then there are the disputes over who’s God is more “real & important”.
    What would an alien make of the way human animals treat not just other animals – but each other ?

    Do you think that aliens could tell the difference between “shaking hands” and “shaking penises” ?…lol.

    Human animals will always make excuses so that they can do whatever they please to any other animal for “fun & profit”.
    I’ll always have hope for the human race, and I see small steps forward every day – but I just hope that those aliens have a lot more patience than we deserve……lol.

    I feel I must say that I’ve been living in Germany for 3 years and have never come across this. Please don’t assume all Germans do this – that’s kind of like assuming all Australians ride kangaroos to school.

    I live in Germany and this is hugely embarrassing to read. Of course the head of the zoophile organization will say he doesn’t “harm” animals, just as I’m sure many child molesters think the same regarding their victims.

    The animal cannot consent, pure and simple. It is animal abuse. Always.

    If you fantasise about shoving your dick into the rear end of an animal, I think you need to sit down and ask yourself some hard questions.

    There was a very funny episode (in a very disturbing way) about this topic on the first series ot the ABC drama “Rake”. Featured Sam Neill as a Doctor who together with his wife, was rather too fond of his dog.

    I’m guessing this meant to read ““Animals are much easier to understand than, say women.”

    So. Wow.

    Meanwhile in other countries such as Afghanistan it’s legal to rape animals provided the animal is female… cos ya know… raping a male animal would be so gay. It’s also culturally accepted to rape your wife (since there is no real concept of rape within marriage)- so in other words, it’s legal to rape women and female animals, and male animals have more rights (when it comes to sexual assault) than womwn.
