Sweden highlights bestiality problem
The Local ^ | April 29, 2005

Posted on 05/07/2005 2:24:02 PM PDT by Bushwacker777

"AFP) Bestiality, or sex with animals, is a growing problem in Sweden and in many cases the animals suffer physical injury, according to the country's first government-commissioned study on the issue presented on Friday.

Horses are the species most often abused, the Swedish Animal Welfare Agency said in its report, which it handed to the government.

A total of 209 cases of bestiality, of which 161 involved horses, have been documented since the 1970s, the agency said. It based its figures on responses to more than 1,600 questionnaires sent to veterinarians, animal welfare inspectors and police agencies across the country.

The government last year tasked the agency with determining the scope of the problem, which species are most often abused and whether the animals suffer psychologically from the abuse."

If they hadn't let all the Muslims in there wouldn't be a problem. Fully as many as 20 percent of Muslim men indulge in beastiality until they can raise the money necessary to 'buy' a wife.

Um. And what if it's "found" that they weren't? Or that they actually enjoyed it? ...It's not beyond possibility, this being Europe, after all. The fact that an agency must be "tasked" with "determining" such things is clue enough: Stuff that most of us would say falls into the category of Just Plain Wrong is a matter of "agency determination" in today's Europe. Scary.

Notice that in typical Swedish neutrality fashion the Animal Welfare Agency stopped short of calling for a ban.

Perhaps because unlike some Western countries I know they still respect their women. Read Fatima Mernissi's Beyond the Veil. The book is a 1977 study of sexuality and family modalities in Muslim society written by a female Muslim sociologist. Islam is the most screwed up culture on the face of the planet. Hide your animals from Muslims. Hide your daughters from Scott Ritter.

Proof that Swedes are direct descendants of the Neanderthals. (As for the French...they are the Neanderthals.)

The Three Billygoats Gruff

Many years ago, in the Khwarism kingdom, the empire centered around the cities of Samarkand, Bukhara, and Gurgange in the territory now called Uzbekistan, there was a bridge across a narrow section of the Syr Daria river and this bridge was guarded by a troll, named Ali Mohammed Qa-eelbasi. This was before the padishah Mohammed of the Khwarism empire burned the beards off of four of the infidel dog Chengis Khan's ambassadors and Chengis Khan reduced that entire territory to a smoking ruin (may he who cannot take a joke endure Allah's curse).

Now, this Ali Mohammed Qa-eelbasi was quite wealthy by inheritance and by dint of clever investment strategies and stock trading and, having no need of money or wealth beyond his possessions, and being an islamic troll, rather than demanding money from travellers seeking to cross his bridge, was in the habit of demanding various other favors from them.

One morning while Ali Mohammed was guarding his bridge and attempting to catch fish in the Syr Daria, he heard the light clatter of little hooves on the wooden planks of his bridge and looked up to see a little billygoat traipsing across the bridge, trippity, clippity, clippity, trippity, and this little goat (Allah be praised!!) had glossy white fur and flowers in his mane, and was wearing a silk petticoat with what appeared to be lace panties underneath, Ali Mohammed could not be quite certain, and a little training bra from Bloomingdales', and had a coy smile upon his face.

"ALLAH BE PRAISED"!! shouted Ali Mohammed! Surely the faithful shall prosper, this must be my lucky day!!!!

And, the little goat looked at Ali Mohammed, the coy smile still on his lips, and said:

"Verily, I should be happy for you to have your way with me and ravish me to your heart's content but, were you to do that, you would then be too exhausted to appreciate my brother when he passes this way. He is only a short distance behind me and he is a larger, finer and more lovely goat than I; he buys ALL of his clothing from Victoria's Secret."

Now, when Ali Mohammed heard this, he was overcome with passion and desire, and could scarcely restrain himself; nonetheless, he replied: "Go then, with Allah's blessing", and allowed the little goat to cross the bridge unmolested. "I shall (eagerly) await your brother!"

Ali Mohammed went back to his efforts to catch fish and, about a half hour later, he heard a somewhat heavier fall of hooves across the wooden planks of his bridge: clippity cloppity clop, clippity cloppity clop, and Ali Mohammed looked up to a sight which aroused within him a veritable paroxism of passion. This was a larger goat with a gossamer veil over his face, red roses braided into his glossy white silky fur all around, a golden necklace and the thinnest sort of a purple gossamer bodice of finest khitan silk, and dark, brown bedroom eyes.

"ALLAH BE PRAISED!!!" shouted Ali Mohammed, "Verily, this must be the luckiest day of my life, for surely no troll has ever beheld so lovely, and desirable, and alluring a goat as thee!"

"Patience!" replied the goat. "Surely you might have me if you wish, but then you would be too exhausted to appreciate my eldest brother, who travels only a short distance behind me. He is the sexiest and most voluptuous and alluring goat in all the world, and he buys ALL of his clothing at Sexy Sadies Midnight Boutique. Verily, were he standing here beside me, you would not notice me at all!"

Ali Mohammed somehow or other managed to restrain his lust and passion and allowed this goat to pass as well and, after ten or twelve minutes when he collected his wits and got his pulse and breath back under control, returned to his fishing poles.

Now when the eldest brother amongst the three goats came up to the bridge over the Syr Daria river and walked upon its wooden planks, Ali Mohammed did not notice at first, because this goat's hooves, for some reason, made no noise. Ali Mohammed was in fact taken by complete surprise as this third goat walked up to within five feet before the troll ever saw him at all. This goat had a silken veil as did the second goat, and gossamer clothing but, underneath the gossamer, appeared to be a very strange goat indeed, yellowish with black stripes, a long tail, fearsome claws, and huge, very non-goatlike teeth. This third goat spoke these words:

Bless, O Lord, this food to my use and me to thy service, and make me ever mindful of the needs of others through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

and, with that, seized the unlucky troll in his massive jaws, chewed him into bitesized pieces, and wolfed him down.

.."and whether the animals suffer psychologically from the abuse."

Hmmm..I think that they just plain suffer from the abuse. The persons with the psychological problems are the perverts who are doing this. But I could be wrong. They should ask the horses.

Bestiality is not illegal in Sweden. A ban on the practice was lifted in 1944, along with a ban on homosexuality.

However, a person can be found guilty of cruelty to animals if prosecutors can prove that the animal suffered physical or psychological injury.

The Animal Welfare Agency said it considered the current legislation to be insufficient to protect animals from suffering, but stopped short of calling for a ban.

Bestiality is not illegal in Sweden. A ban on the practice was lifted in 1944, along with a ban on homosexuality.

Good reason why homosexual or non-heterosexual behaviors should be banned?

If a person wants to say he or she is a "homosexual/lesbian" that should not be illegal. However "homosexual activities," can rightly be banned and made illegal.

If for no other reason than to protect the animal or 'other party' in the homosexual activities. Some would say that the government has no right to protect the "other party" but by law, the government has already shown that it has a right to protect others by making laws against murder, etc.

First comes homosexual behavior, then comes bestiality, and then what?

"Letsee 209 cases in 35 years....about seven cases a year. Not exactly a crime wave...."

The excerpt doesn't cover the entire story. From the article:

"In the period 2000 to 2004, 119 cases of bestiality were documented, compared to just three known cases in the 1970s, 17 in the 1980s and 70 in the 1990s." OR

      1970s- 0.3/yr
      1980s- 1.7/yr
      1990s- 7.0/yr
since 2000- 23.8/yr
A VERY CLEAR TREND... and think of the implications.

Even normal dating must be impossible now. Not only do you have worry about who your date had sex with, but you also have to worry about who your dinner had sex with!
