Germany plans to ban bestiality

[Hum]

The German government is reportedly planning to reinstate a ban on bestiality, with fine of up to ?25,000 for all forms of sex with animals.

Parliament?s agriculture committee will discuss the necessary changes to the country?s animal protection code this week and they could become law as soon as mid-December, said the left-wing daily Die Tageszeitung.

Getting freaky with mankind?s furry friends has not been a punishable offence in Germany since 1969, according to the paper. But a national veterinary association has warned sexual abuse of animals is widespread, with zoophiles renting farms for erotic encounters and thousands of Germans trading tips on the internet.

Hans-Michael Goldmann, chairman of the agriculture committee, told Die Tageszeitung that the government aimed to forbid using an animal ?for individual sexual acts,? but it also wanted to outlaw pimping creatures to others.

Animal rights activists in Germany have long demanded the prosecution of bestiality ? currently it is only illegal if sexual acts cause considerable harm to the animal.

But the German zoophile group ZETA (Zoophiles Engaging for Tolerance and Enlightenment) announced it would mount a legal challenge should a ban on bestiality become law.

?Mere concepts of morality have no business being law,? ZETA chairman Michael Kiok told Die Tageszeitung.

*activates overseas shipping booster*

:laugh:

No, but really, I surely hope that's not gonna happen.

If it does, I'll be importing it from other European countries where it remains legal, dodging customs. :D

Well, so far its never been enforced here for for loli afaik and I'm able to buy it here just fine.

I thought of anything that would specify it further, but I guess the dogs are sleeping tight.

Good on that I say.

Also that paragraph has some phrasing that actually leaves the door a little bit open fot interpretation.

Seeing how lolicon is traded here without problems, I take it it's de-facto legal.

Don't really care either way, imho CP and loli are two completely different things and I'm not gonna feel guilty of CP possession having harmless loli lol

Laws are good and fine, but damn, if one wouldn't see the difference, then that's just ridiculous. :)

anyone catch the "reinstate" part? As in it is was against the law before, but then someone complained, so they made it legal? weird.
