THE German government is about to reintroduce a ban on bestiality, after pressure from animal welfare groups.
Newspaper die Tageszeitung reports that the governing coalition are soon to amend the country's Animal Welfare Act to make sex with animals punishable with a fine of up to 25,000 euros ($31,000).
Bestiality was legalised in Germany in 1969, the same year that gay sex was also removed from the criminal code. After that, sex with animals was only punishable if the animal was severely injured.
However animal welfare groups have pushed for the ban to be reinstated, in an advertising campaign that used dramatic examples of "animal rape".
Agriculture minister Ilse Aigner has agreed to change the law to make it illegal for people to "use (animals) for their own sexual activities or sexual acts of third parties" - which also bans the 'pimping' of animals to others.
However the move has aroused the ire of zoophile group ZETA.
Lobbyist Michael Kiok, who lives with his dog Cassie, told the newspaper there were more than 100,000 zoophiles in Germany.
"Mere morals have no place in law," he said.
Mr Kiok said he was worried that if the law took effect the authorities would try to take away his dog.
The amendment to the law will be debated in the German parliament in mid-December.
There goes the stump-broke cattle Idustry.
How judgmental. Who are we to call someone’s sexual orientation “unnatural”?

“...if the animal was severely injured.” Or the animal was not offered a cigaretter when finished.
Two guys at a football game is a dog licking himself. One says, “Boy I’d like to be able to do that.”
Other one says, “Don’t you know that dog would bite you if you tried.”
"So how was the sex with the human?"
"Not Baaaad."
“liberaltarians would be deeply unhappy if this happened in some of our states”
Yes, ‘it doesn’t harm anyone,’ so it should be legal, if one applies Libertarian theory consistently.
I guess that’s another reason I’m a conservative and not a Libertarian. . .
Believe it’s still illegal to wear hipboots into the sheep pastures in Montana.
So...who’s going to tell the animals?
...so the cowboy picked out a pig but decided he
couldn’t have sex with it all muddy like that so
he gave her a bath and put a bow on her tail.
Then he decided he needed a drink first so he
went into the saloon with her and stepped up to
the bar. All the other patrons backed away from
him so he asked the bartender.
“Say, I thought you said to just pick out a pig
from the lot out back.
“Yyyyep, said the bartender, but you picked the
sheriff’s gal.”
"I'm just sayin', that little sheep was askin' for it!"
Lord help us.
I wouldn't want to be Dr. Doolittle right now.
So I guess those in the German government can forget ever being invited to speak at Fordham U.
Yep
"Was it good for you, too?..."
LOL. But somewhere in Saudi Arabia, there's a guy who thinks she'd look cute in a burqa.
I don’t care who ya are...that right there’s funny.
Nah, nothing will stop muslim immigration except the people of the host countries.
But apparently, they all receive them with open arms.
...open thighs.
“Mere morals have no place in law.”
Just wondering, what SHOULD law be founded on then?
