Denmark, which is battling underground animal sex tourism
Seriously, that is how they want to start this article? With a claim from the yellow press that has not seen much evidence besides one newspaper allegedly contacting an unspecified number of people who allegedly solicit animals for sex on the internet. Allegedly, because literally nothing came of that. Nobody tried to get an official statement whether this constituted animal cruelty. Where is this battle? Who is battling and how does this battle look like?
The only opponents of the law are members of the Liberal Alliance, a libertarian party.
Bengt Holst, the head of Denmark's animal ethics committee, said in October that the amendment is unnecessary.
So the animal ethics committee is an opponent too?
Why only in november? Why not in 2006. Better pretend that this discussion did not already happen with the result that it did not get banned, because there were no good arguments for a ban, or what?

Unfortunately for us, supporting zoophiles while in a position of power is most likely the death of your political career. This makes anti-zoo bills trivially easy to pass and makes the drafter look better while not actually getting anything done.

I don't think there is anything you can do now to prevent that lie from being repeated except to post whenever you see it that there is no evidence from anyone of this supposed problem...

The truth is that Denmark is being bullied and shamed into passing this law, it has nothing to do with animal welfare. The net result is most likely that more animals will suffer since the animals will have to be sicker before a zoophile risks seeking veterinary assistance, and more importantly when all such activity gets pushed further underground the actual animal abusers will also be much harder to discover.

That is the reason why I can't be really mad at the Danish parliament. They don't do it for populism just to get the citizens shutting up they get forced to because it is damaging the whole country from outside.

Lawful zoophilia not harm the animal. Because if it does, then the animal cruelty - which is already prohibited.
You are right. There are not so fucking much more to say.

Christianity is reasserting itself. People are becoming less tolerant and are forgetting the lessons of the past. America is headed towards a Christian religious theocracy and using it's influence to influence the world.
