Denmark bans bestiality in move against animal sex tourism

[wa3zrm]

(Reuters) - Denmark passed legislation on Tuesday banning bestiality. The bill amends a previous ban on intercourse that harms animals, something Farm Minister Dan Jorgensen argued was difficult to prove.

"The current legislation does not protect the animals enough. It's hard to prove that an animal suffers when a human has sexual intercourse with it, and that is why we must give the animal the benefit of the doubt," he wrote in an opinion piece.

Those voting for the bill said Denmark did not want to remain the last northern European country where bestiality was legal, as this was attracting animal sex tourists. Germany, Norway, Sweden and Britain previously banned it.

"There are frequent reports of the occurrence of organised animal sex shows, clubs and animal brothels in Denmark," the Danish Ethical Council for Animals, an independent advisory board under the food and agriculture ministry, said in a report, while adding that it had not been able to verify the reports.

A 2011 Justice Ministry report surveyed veterinarians and found 17 percent of them suspected that an animal they treated had had intercourse with a human.

As someone currently residing in Denmark I feel it's my duty to shed some light on the situation. It's not good. There's a line of goats, pigs, sheep and horses outside the unemployment office as far as the eye can see. Some of them are not here legally, so they will now have to resort to selling themselves on street corners in uncontrolled environments. On national TV Mr. Bighog said the state had made it almost impossible for him to bring home the bacon. Goatie McChinbeard said the situation was Bah-ah-ah-ad, as he now had to move to a worse neighborhood with cheaper trash to eat. Miss Piggy was fine though as she had gotten a job at Gøl sausage company.
