SICK SICK SICK

Soon to be a Constitutional right by 5-4 vote here in the USA.

You can love your pets, just don't...love you pets.

This is absolutely disgusting. Europe keeps swirling farther and farther down the toilet.

[Billthedrill]

"Blisters?" TMI, baby. TMI.

In contrast with most other countries, animal sex is not illegal in Sweden. It was decriminalized in 1944 in connection with the decriminalization of homosexual sex.

There's that slippery slope again. Yuck.

[Chris Tucker]

No suprise coming from Sweden. Those people will do anything to get sexual gratification.

The only other people, IMO, who's more perverted is the Japanese...

1999 when child pornography became illegal

What?!

hmmmmm...

It was possession of child pornography that became illegal.

As for the article it is a bit confusing; The law against "tidelag" (animal sex) was removed and charges are instead filed under animal abuse.

[pau1f0rd]

Everyone should be free to choose their own partner, irrespective of species, marry them in a church and adopt children. We need an 'Inter-species Sex Pride' movement to highlight these important issues. You conservatives are just holding back progress.

[Igraine]

Ah! That charges would be filled for animal abuse makes perfect sense, but I'm still surprised that possession of child pornography didn't become illegal until 1999.

[Dan from Michigan]

That is simply baaaaaaaaaaaaaad.

,,, thought I'd post this pic before ErnBatvia got here.

[ErnBatavia]

Shakin it here, boss!

[Ringman]

Before 1999 it was i belive only illegal to produce and distribute or sell child pornography. Making actual possession illegal was considered to be problematic in principle. I think it is still the only law banning possession of information here.

Many people protested the ban for that very reason.

,,, did I ever tell you that I went to Sweden for lunch once? I was in Copenhagen for a few days and had an early evening flight out to Zurich. I caught a hydrofoil across to Malmo to fill in some time. The place was incredibly expensive - I was there for most of an afternoon and that was that.

Porn stores in Copenhagen were like small supermarkets. I couldn't believe the sort of stuff they had that showed people with animals. "Sick" would be a justifiable word.

Thanks for the clarification.
