Animal sex is not illegal in Sweden, and every year between 200 and 300 pets are injured because of sexual assaults.
The estimate was presented by Svenska Veterinärforbundet, the Swedish veterinary organization, and it is now trying to make the authorities and the public more aware of animals’ suffering. The organization claim the problem has increased during the last couple of years, even if most people are unaware of it.
“We have seen an increase since 1999 when child pornography became illegal,” said Johan Beck-Friis. “It appears, in other words, as there are some people who have replaced children with animals. In both circumstances, it is sex with defenceless individuals.”
The injuries inflicted on animals after sexual assaults are of the same character of those children get. Beck-Friis said that the most common injuries are wounds on the sex organs and blisters.
Animal porn The fact that animal sex is becoming an increasing problem can be indicated by the mere fact that there is an increasing selection of animal porn at video rentals and there an increasingly number of websites with animal pornography is surfacing.
No one knows for sure how many animals that are abused, but a British study from 2001 indicates that every 20th dog or cat that receives treatment at veterinaries, the injuries are not a result of a direct accident, but the animal has been inflicted the injury as a result of a sexual assault.
According to the Swedish paper Expressen, if the same estimate can be used in Sweden that will indicate that 200 to 300 dogs and cats every year are injured as a result of sexual assaults.
Not illegal 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.
So this Vet considers an animal an individual, as in person?
A face only a Sven could love.
Does anyone else get the uncomfortable feeling that this guy wants child pornography to be re-legalized?
So, Swedish lads are going for the lassies and the pussy cats. Maybe it's just a problem with stupid Swedes taking language a little too literally?
Could this be a byproduct of years of rampant socialism?
Maybe, maybe, Peta could help nambl-ech find a humane way to treat (eww, they would say 'love', but I can't bring myself to categorize it that way) the animals so there are less injuries. Imagine the self-help books and seminars... I can't continue... Ick.
Known for their beauty, it's so true. I guess this is just like we were warned years ago with the legalization of porn and all the other 70's stuff like drugs and 'free love' about desensitization and the breakdown of boundaries and their consequences.
He'd probably be much more comfortable knowing the animals were safe from injury than the children - and that opens up a whole new realm of the depraved...
OK. How many synonyms for "------- disgusting --------- who should immediately be ------ to death" can you come up with?
Moose bites kan be nasti, I hope she's rekovered by Now.
