Animal welfare: Germany moves to ban bestiality

[Gerald]

Germany's ruling coalition is calling for a ban on bestiality - or the practice of having sex with animals.

The German parliament's agriculture committee is considering a legal amendment to describe sex with humans as "inappropriate" for animals. A hefty fine could be imposed on offenders.

A final vote will be held in the Bundestag (lower house) on 14 December.

Germany legalised bestiality (zoophilia) in 1969, except when the animal suffered "significant harm".

But animal rights groups have campaigned for a change in the law and Hans-Michael Goldmann, the head of the parliamentary committee investigating the new amendment, told the Tageszeitung newspaper that the new legislation was intended to clarify the current legal position.

"With this explicit ban, it will be easier to impose penalties and to improve animal protection."

A fine of up to 25,000 euros (£20,000) is proposed if someone forces an animal to commit "actions alien to the species".

The Germans have always been fond of sex play, but to mix in animals, it is low, very low,:nope:

[MH]

Hmmm....very intreresting.
Some heated debate expected here :haha:

[Herr-Berbunch]

Surely, unlike all the religion and political threads, there can only be one side to this debate?

Anybody who agrees with it will be reviled and ridiculed in equal measure.

Except the . . . . . . . . . (insert sheep-bothering countrymen of your choice, there are a few to choose from) :D

[nikimcbee]

Those puritans!:o No one is thinking of the sexual rights of the animals! I mean, if two consenting critters want to :hmm2::hmm2::hmm2::hmm2:, who is the German gov't to decide what love is!?!

So if Hans and/or Helga wants to :o:o:o:o a sheep, donkey, guinea pig, pet rock python:o, border collie, zebra, budgie, chimpanze, turtle, bearded dragon (No Jim it's not what you think it is:know:),plecustomas, chihuahua, or long haired dachshund, it is a human right! I'm calling the UN!


So, if you get convicted of :woot::woot::woot::woot: an animal, which letter do you have to wear?

more questions...
Can Germany be held libel for any damages in San Fransisco due to the protest/riots of this barbaric ban? Where is Tante Merkel's check book?

What about ferrets? Is that considered morally wrong?

So "zoophilia" doesn't mean you love going to the zoo?

Will there be a mandatory subsim rule, that all German members must have this as their avatar:

[Takeda Shingen]

Bestiality is illegal in the State of California. It, however, does not appear to be illegal in West Virginia or Kentucky. :hmmm:

Does not appear to be illegal in West Virginia or Kentucky The development should have been there,about a forbidding,:hmmm:

It's not. In keeping with local customs, though, both states do require that the animal in question be a member of your immediate family. :P

There aren't *many* perks to being an Ohioan, but making fun of WV and KY are at the very top of the list. :woot:

[nikimcbee]

Just thinking, will it be illegal to possess a "Crocodile Hunter" video in Germany?
