come on, that nature/natural shit is not even the issue.
evolution was always forced upon nature. evolution was always forced upon people. from an evolutionary perspective, freedom never existed. laws don't change happenings, they only punish them or hide them.
being legal to fuck a dog or being illegal to fuck a dog is inconsequential to the dude in his house/barn doing his dog. he doesn't care. he will fuck it, with or without the law. HE IS FREE.
- will this law help making bestiality less mainstream/more taboo?, ofc
- will this law help sexually confused people through their sexually challenging years?, ofc
i'll take those over freedom any day. Bestiality is already extremely taboo (just read this thread...) and couldn't be further from mainstream. I'm also struggling massively to see how this will help sexually confused people. Do you have any basis for saying any of these things, especially with "ofc"? edit: I somehow think I'm being trolled, re-reading the "I'll take these over freedom any day". Huh :/
there is no trolling. ppl in this thread said that teenagers were paying farmers to let them fuck their donkeys or w/e and it's not like they were all zoophiles or into bestiality. they did it because they didn't give a fuck and the social context allowed them to do it.
you don't just give freedom to a 5yr old. at best, it's safe to assume that he doesn't know what to do with it.

I have to admit something. When I first read this thread, I was sure the argument would be drawn mainly between the ethical line, namely on the primacy of human need (which is also the justification for meat eating). How surprised am I that the topic is more massive and more colorful than I had known. I have never encountered something whose breadth and depth was more complicated that I initially thought. And to encounter something like this in a gaming site is a bonus. Thank you to those who thoughtfully contributed and argued on this thread.

Speak for yourself. Many of us are aware that it's not good to cause suffering on a massive scale. We just don't see an alternative that works on a large scale so we are stuck with it for now.

Do they not have vegetables in your country? Not only do we have an alternative to eating meat, it was in fact the default system used for most of the history of human civilisation due to the inferior energy efficiency of meat and the tendency for a population to grow until it has exhausted its food supply. Regular access to meat is a very, very modern luxury which has come about due to industrialised meat production. It's not that we lack an alternative, meat eating is not the default position, we embraced animal abuse in order to gain the luxury of meat.

Well that is my point. I find it disgusting, unmoral, unnatural, disturbing and sodomic and that is the only reason why I agree it should be illegal. I wasnt even hiding that.

Agreed with the first part, not so much with the second. What we can't see is an alternative that would let us have that much meat as readily available all the time. I'd go on with this but it's off topic, so yeah...
Edit : or could just shut up and let Kwark speak. He does that way better than me.

Do they have manners in yours?
But yeah, it's a luxury and I could probably go without meat if I put some thought into it. So yes, I am putting my own convenience above the rights of the animals. But the fact that I (or a large majority of society) is doing it, doesn't make it automatically right.

Why is there no "I enjoy it" option in the poll ? I guess that would be the first and foremost reason to...

What about banning animal murders ? Meat industry seems much more cruel to me (and I am pretty sure it affect 10000% more animals) that having sex with an animal ....

I see your point. Can we have it as "I have a thing for animals", since enjoyment would be an effect and may be true regardless of the reason.

I'm just amazed that you present regular meat eating, something which has for thousands of years been a luxury that only the elites were able to enjoy, as something without an alternative. It wasn't until the rationing of the second world war that meat became a part of the regular diet of people in England, this isn't a necessary thing with no reasonable alternative, this is a recent luxury we have embraced.

This may be true for England, but is it true for the rest of the world? Also, it would be wise for you to provide some sources for your claims.

I could come up with a hundred reasons to kill off hundreds of people from a purely pragmatic point of view, which is what most people mean when they say "logic."

It's because most people who are using the 'logic' type argument are also coming from the grounding of not harming other individuals.
While obviously the thought of murdering someone horrifies me, other than that it's illegal because society and civilisation would collapse if everyone murdered, raped, burgled, defrauded, assaulted each other.
I'm not sure the same can be said of being bummed by your dog in the living room when no-one else would ever find out about it
