Just in case anyone was under the impression that this was really about animal welfare. "Bestiality" as "any kind of sexual activity between humans and animals" remains in the proposal without a second thought, while the lobby of real animal exploiters and killers gets their every wish fulfilled.

"Bestiality" as "any kind of sexual activity between humans and animals" <- I suppose that makes most breeding facilities with artificial insemination procedures illegal. Well done, lawmakers.

Most bills include an exception clause for that stuff. Yeah, ironic, I know...

It really is stupid. Insert a finger into a vag for the purpose of AI and thats fine but as soon as you use a dick - which in reality there is no difference for the bitch - then it becomes a crime. It really is a law to protect you from yourself, rather than to protect the animal.

I absolutely despise laws that protect oneself from oneself.

fingering may still be considered zoophilia

which means its zoophilia as soon as you start liking it. But many people love their job in animal husbandry which means its all arbitrary. They said so, so it goes.

As someone who's read the text of at least one of the often "copy and pasted" bills that started this craze, it's less that you enjoy it and more that it's not "part of an accepted veterinary or animal husbandry related procedure"

It's still arbitrary.

But killing endangered wolves is just fine, but if you enjoy being penetrated by your dog you're evil.
