From here:

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.

Kiok makes the familiar argument: you can’t legislate morality, therefore you cannot outlaw sex with animals.

However, you have to base your legislation on some moral framework. Judeo-Christian morality has served Christendom quite well up until now; and it does not approve of bestiality. Most Western nations are working vigorously to undermine their own heritage, hence we have legalised homosexuality, prostitution, pornography, drug use, abortion and we are now working on paedophilia, polygamy and bestiality.

When we attempt to remove morality from our laws, we replace it with the only thing left: immorality, and by doing so give tacit permission for demonic howling chaos to have its way.

Besides that, what about a generous pastoral response to long-term monogamous man-beast relationships?
