Shame DENMARK
Animal brothels are perfectly legal and
raping an animal carries no punishment
- ◎Sponsored By: Anti-Fur Society◎
TO: EU Parliament President and other representatives:
Bestiality is a worldwide occurrence, and largely ignored by most because of its shameful nature. Europe, which the world looks upon as the model of civilization, is not free from bestiality. European abusers struggle to justify this type of cruelty under the "freedom to rape animals" umbrella which grossly ignores the pain and stress caused by animal rapists. Like children, animals suffer terribly in the hands of their molesters.
EU members, such as The Netherlands and Denmark appear to be worse than the rest as they openly defend this cruel practice as the right of their minority of abusers. Denmark goes as far as permitting animal sex farm bordellos, a thriving business where their owners profit from animal rape. A statement from a public figure, supposed to be protecting animals in Denmark, has brought chills to the animal protection community: "It is OK to have sex with an animal as long as no suffering is inflicted on the animal... So there is no need to change the law as people's rights would be violated by banning sex with animals." Learn more from these links:
All attempts to end this cruelty have been met with utmost complacency, closely resembling mockery. The issue of bestiality can go beyond hurting animals: If it is OK to rape animals "as long as it is not hurting others, " then what will come next? Sex with children as long it is not hurting others? Animals and children are both vulnerable to rapists who take pleasure in sadistically overpowering their defenseless victims.
This is not about the rights of a minority to rape animals. It is about the pain caused to species that are not in a position to consent, and forced to do something unnatural to their nature. Would a child have sex with its molester if given a choice? Animals are not physically equipped to have sex with humans. When it happens it is rape. There is severe pain and fear involved in it, AND THEY DO GET HURT. Photos of small animals killed miserably during rape are abundant on the internet, and too gruesome to be posted here.
AN ANIMAL RAPIST COULD BE THE NEXT CHILD MOLESTER! Serial killers almost invariably start their bloody careers practicing on animals. What makes one believe that an animal rapist will not be the next child molester? Parents should be aware of those who practice bestiality so as to protect their children from possible child molesters.
Please take a moment to write to your representatives asking them to pass laws against bestiality simply because it is CRUEL and animal abusers are one step away from harming defenseless humans as well. On the above links, you will find addresses to the European Parliament and your representatives as well as letter samples.
By signing this petition, you will be asking the European Parliament leaders as well as your representatives, to pass laws to protect defenseless animals from being raped by humans. It is time for the world to stop defending the indefensible, and Europe, of all places, should take the first step to end this contemptible cruelty to satisfy a sadistic minority.

In December 2013, Thorning-Schmidt,
British Prime Minister David Cameron and US President Barack Obama faced criticism on social media that they had behaved inappropriately after posing for a "selfie" taken with Thorning-Schmidt's mobile phone during the memorial service for the former South African President Nelson Mandela.Defending her actions, Thorning-Schmidt said, "There were lots of pictures taken that day, and I just thought it was a bit fun. Maybe it also shows that when we meet heads of state and government, we too are just people who have fun."Cameron said he was being polite when Thorning-Schmidt asked him to take part in the picture. Thorning-Schmidt had previously posed for photographs with the actress Sarah Jessica Parker after spotting her signing autographs and stopping her car to ask for a picture.

♣︎SOMETHING IS ROTTEN IN THE STATE OF DENMARK♣︎

Written by Jani Allan
Frankly I am not interested in what two consenting adults – or three or however many are up for it – do in order to obtain sexual gratification.
However when I read that there is a flourishing business in Denmark in which people pay in order to have sex with animals, I am moved to write a few words about the repugnant practice. Call me a keyboard warrior, if you must.
The law (in both Norway and Denmark) states that bestiality is perfectly legal “so long as the animal involved does not suffer.”
This is a statement so broad as to be comical. The animal must be restrained and is unable to talk. How does one gauge how much suffering is involved or what implements are used in the process?
According to the Danish newspaper 24timer, this “interesting gap” in the law has led to a flourishing business.
On the internet, several Danish animal owners openly advertise their services. Pimping out your pooch, it seems, is quite ‘normal’ these days.
The newspaper contacted several animal pimps who assured them that the animals “have been engaged in this kind of activity for several years and that the animals crave the sexual stimulation.”
This is akin to saying that kiddies crave the sexual stimulation that pedophiles offer.
Apparently the cost charged by the animal owners varied from DKK 500 to 1,000 (USD$85 to $170).
Since Danish laws are so similar to Norwegian laws, the animal bordello phenomenon has led many to question if such a practice could be legal in Norway as well.
Torunn Knævelsrud is the section chief for animal welfare for the Norwegian Food Safety Authority. “It is difficult to say yes or no,” is his response as to the legality of animal bordellos in Norway.
“It could be that the animals don’t really care,” Knævelsrud said. “But I think animals will often be victims of injury, stress or suffering in connection with sexual acts with humans. Either that they are held fast, or frightened, or suffer pain or physical injury.”
No-one has, as far as I know, specified the minimum size of the animal.
Norway is currently reviewing its Animal Protection Act and several groups, including the Norwegian Animal Welfare Alliance, have proposed making amendments which forbid sexual intercourse with animals.
“The acts provoke moral disgust. The question is whether immorality should be made illegal. The FSA group discussing the new animal protection act has been in disagreement about this,” Knævelsrud said.
One of the owners of an animal bordello in Denmark said that many of his clients come from abroad and travel some distance for his services.
Jesus Christ what is wrong with human beings? I do not blaspheme, rather I question.
Should immorality be made illegal?
My answer is hell, yes! Clearly we live in an age where the recidivism and cruelty of human beings has reached such bizarre and evil expression that if the only constraint is that of the law, then so be it.
Surely there is some irony at play.
Why would the Nordic races, famed for their blonde, blue-eyed beauties have to turn to four-legged, mute victims for their sexual relief?
There are contradictions aplenty in Denmark’s stance towards the treatment of animals in the recent past.
Denmark’s controversial ban on slaughtering conscious animals went into effect two weeks ago on Monday and has already come under fire from Jewish and Muslim groups who say it interferes with the requirements of halal and kosher slaughter.
Though the measure has faced opposition from religious groups since it was first proposed last year, Agriculture and Food Minister Dan Jørgensen was quoted as saying, “Animal rights come before religion,” according to the Jerusalem Post.
What a load of cobblers. Where are the animal rights considered when it comes to animal brothels?
All slaughter that is not preceded by stunning is now illegal in Denmark, though Jewish and Muslim traditions require the animal to be conscious at the moment of death for the meat to be considered kosher or halal, reported Al Jazeera.
Previously, Denmark compromised by requiring animals to be stunned immediately after their throats were cut.
Finn Schwarz, president of the Copenhagen-based Jewish Community Centre told Al Jazeera that the country’s Jewish community mainly imports its kosher meat, so will not be overly affected by the new decree.
However, the quick implementation of the controversial ban in spite of strong religious objections is still a matter of concern for Danish Jews and Muslims. Schwarz said, “The issue here is both the Muslim organization and the Jewish community agree this has been pushed through in a non-democratic process in a quick way.”
Then there is the matter of Marius the giraffe.
Victim; Marius.
Marius was offered a piece of rye bread – his treat – and then publicly shot, dismembered and thrown to the lions as food. The zoo justified the move arguing that it was necessary to prevent inbreeding.
This baseless and cruel decision is nonsense.
Bengt Holst, Scientific Director of the zoo, said “we must accept that there is a surplus of animals that cannot be included in the genetic chain to not cause problems of inbreeding.”
Rubbish, Sir, Rubbish!
Hundreds of thousands of signatures by various animal rights organizations were collected. There were countless offers to adopt Marius – one from the London Zoo – and offers, too, to purchase Marius in order to reintroduce him into the wild.
But, no, Marius was sacrificed in front of an audience.
What people would gather to see a huge, elegant animal murdered? Why, I suppose those that in previous incarnations enjoyed a public hanging or stoning.
Those whose reptile brains are only hungry for depravity.
Though the macabre spectacle of Marius’ murder sparked outrage in society, the knuckle-dragging spokesman for the Copenhagen Zoo, Stenbaek Bro, argued that the park gave parents the opportunity to decide whether or not their children would witness the operation of cutting the animal and, furthermore “I am proud because I believe we gave the kids a great lesson on the anatomy of a giraffe!”
I put it to you, Bro, that the dismembering of a giraffe which they had just seen alive will have the effect of desensitizing young viewers to brutality in all its forms. This one was called culling. I am not sure why young children need to see a giraffe being dissected.
Is this useful or necessary for the upbringing of a Danish suburbanite?
Grindadráp 1942, Sámal Joensen-Mikines
And then, as if all news from Denmark hasn’t nauseated me enough, there is Grind (grindadráp in Faroese). The Grind takes place once a year in the Danish Faroe Islands.
The Grind is considered a cultural tradition and rite of passage in the tiny island group situated approximately halfway between Britain and Iceland.
This horrendous tradition – 21st century barbarism – involves stranding and capturing pods of pilot whales and violently cutting out their spinal cords with long knives while simultaneously bludgeoning them to death with stones, spears, hatchets, clubs and axes.
All the while young village children frolic in the shallow bloody waters and participate in the butchery of the visibly and audibly terrified sentient whales in what is considered by locals as a community sporting event.
The Grind, I reiterate, is considered part of the Faroese cultural tradition.
This doesn’t make it moral or right.
So was slavery and Mandingo fighting part of the ‘culture’ in the South. America has since realized how unpleasant those traditions were.
There are many things rotten in the state of Denmark.
Time for her shame to be the civilized world’s clarion call to wake up and stop the barbarism and pornographic perversion regarding animals.

Two Horses Were Sexually Abused
By nabr 15 June 2011
A veterinary examination that was held on Wednesday confirmed that at least two horses were sexually assaulted in a field near Brabrand Lake west of Aarhus, they informed TV2 East Jutland.
The news given to the horse's owner, Lene Willis, confirmed her worst fears after she recently found two of her horses with their hind legs tied together. On the ground, there were used condoms.
Politician endorsed that Zoophilia must banned.
"It is inconceivable that anyone could be so sick in the head to have sex with horses. It's disgusting," says Lene Willis, "He had no purpose to be on the field".
Police filed both the condoms and rope horses' legs were tied with as evidence.
"These cases of animal cruelty are always considered to be serious. The perpetrator will have to explain as to why he was in an area that is not freely accessible. He had no reason to be on the field. We certainly hope to solve this case," said Police Commissioner Mogens Brondum from East Jutland Police.
The horses' owner, Lene Willis, has taken her horses from that field and does not allow them go alone without supervision.
Politician: Zoophilia be banned
By mort@tv2.dk 08 April 2011
The debate about animal sex has flared up again after being aired on TV 2 on Thursday night on "Denmark according to Bubber". The program showed among other things a man breaking into a barn and having sex with a goat.
According to the party focus, it is high time that zoophilia be prohibited. Therefore, the party chairman, Christian H. Hansen, introduced a bill in parliament to make bestiality and animal pornography is prohibited.
"I think it should be banned because an animal is a living being who can not say no," said Christian H. Hansen for TV 2 News.
"I saw the program yesterday and it was very creepy and disgusting, But appreciates that Bubber exposed the case. It's really good that it was shown," said Christian H. Hansen.
Animal sex is illegal in Norway, Sweden and Germany, but in Denmark there are no laws that directly prevents people from having sex with animals.
According to Animal Ethics Council states it is sufficient in the Animal Protection Act, which prevents people from doing harm to animals, but that is not enough, says Christian H. Hansen.
"It's a ridiculous argument. Plenty of vets say that animals suffer harm, for example, cuts in the rectum. Shows the same studies in Norway and Sweden," says Focus chairman.
The program "Denmark according to Bubber" has estimated that 5-7 percent of the male population in Denmark had sex with animals.

Demonstration Copenhagen 1.09.2012: In Denmark, sex with animals is legal in contrast to several other countries in Europe. It aroused anger among activists that made a demonstration to make the parliament make a law so Zoophilia can be punished by law. Here some of them are on their way to gather with other protesters, meeting in front of Christiansborg Palace Square where the Danish Parliament is.

IceNews from 20 May, 2008
Laws in both Denmark and Norway are fairly open when it comes to a person’s legal right to engage in sexual activity with an animal. The law states that doing so is perfectly legal, so long as the animal involved does not suffer. According to the Danish newspaper 24timer, this interesting gap in the law has led to a flourishing business in which people pay in order to have sex with animals.
On the internet, several Danish animal owners openly advertise their services. The newspaper contacted several such individuals and was told that many of the animals have been engaged in this kind of activity for several years and that the animals crave the sexual stimulation. The newspaper found that the cost charged by the animal owners varied from DKK 500 to 1,000 (USD$85 to $170).
Since Danish laws are so similar to Norwegian laws, the animal bordello phenomenon has led many to question if such a practice could be legal in Norway as well.
Torunn Knaevelsrud is the section chief for animal welfare for the Norwegian Food Safety Authority. “It is difficult to say yes or no,” he replied to a question about the legality of animal bordellos in Norway.
“It could be that the animals don’t really care,” Knaevelsrud said. “But I think it is in the nature of the case that animals will often be victims of injury, stress or suffering in connection with sexual acts with humans. Either that they are held fast, or frightened, or suffer pain or physical injury,” Knaevelsrud said.
Norway is currently reviewing its Animal Protection Act and several groups, including the Norwegian Animal Welfare Alliance, have proposed making amendments which forbid sexual intercourse with animals.
“The acts provoke moral disgust. The question is whether immorality should be made illegal. The FSA group discussing the new animal protection act has been in disagreement about this,” Knaevelsrud said.
One of the owners of an animal bordello in Denmark said that many of his clients come from abroad and travel some distance for his services. “But the clients tell us that it is much simpler to buy animal sex in Denmark than in their own country,” the owner said, explaining that many of his clients come from Norway, Sweden, Holland and Germany.
Denmark: OK to Rape Animals But Not OK to Have Halal and Kosher Meat
Monday, June 30, 2014
Sheep shagging and other assorted bestiality is legal in Denmark, a country that has recently been marred by controversy over its ban on Halal and Kosher meat slaughter, which is considered “inhumane” by opponents. Minister of agriculture Dan Jørgensen told Denmark’s TV2 that “animal rights come before religion”.
Interestingly, animal brothels are openly doing business in Denmark where there is a thriving bestiality scene, clients come from such places as Norway, Sweden, Holland and Germany. (h/t: Cliff)
This is remarkable, I thought these nations were supposed to be all about “choice?” What choice does an animal have in getting banged by a human?

Raping an animal carries no punishment in Denmark. According to the Danish law, it is legal to have sex with an animal, to spread animal pornography, and to have animal brothels. Although the legality of bestiality has been questioned on a number of occasions, a parliament majority believes that it is not necessary to ban sex with animals. Dyrenes Venner (Animal Friends) started a campaign in early 2010 for the introduction of a total ban.
An episode in a TV programme about Danes who have sex with animals, aired in 2008, has sparked a new debate in Denmark.
According to current laws, as long as the animals are not suffering, the government has no problem with bestiality. Danish Internet sites openly advertise sex with animals without any fear of repercussion from authorities, IceNews, reported. A newspaper did a research and in just a few hours work, the newspaper found 22 Danish website adverts for bestiality.


◎ANIMAL BROTHELS, a lifestyle? Here are shocking cases of animals being brutally RAPED!

New Delhi: Did you know that ANIMAL BROTHELS do exist and are legal in Denmark? It might sound shocking and sad to many of you but it is true. Laws in both Denmark and Norway are justly open when it comes to a person’s legal right to engage in sexual activity with an animal.
Bestiality brothels are spreading through Germany faster than ever thanks to a law that makes animal porn illegal but sex with animals legal. A livestock protection officer Madeleine Martin said that current laws were not protecting animals from predatory zoophiles who are increasingly able to turn to bestiality as a 'lifestyle choice'. Bestiality is becoming a popular attraction in the nation's brothels.
“A 2002 study found that 96 percent of juveniles who had sexual conduct with animals also admitted to sex offenses against humans.”
According to Daily Mail, “Martin had highlighted one case where a farmer in the Gross-Gerau region of southwest Germany, noticed his once friendly flock of sheep were beginning to shy away from human contact. Armed with a host of similar case studies, Martin called for the government to categorically ban bestiality across the country.”
Wordpress.com reports, ‘The law states that doing so is perfectly legal, so long as the animal involved does not suffer any harm.’
Daily Mail said, “Last November German authorities said they were planning to reinstate an old law forbidding sex with animals after a sharp rise in incidents of bestiality along with websites promoting it. Parliament began debating changes to the national Animal Protection Code with the agricultural committee of the Bundestag pledging fines of up to £20,000 for a first offence. Bestiality dropped off the statute books as a crime in 1969 but in recent years the number of people believed to be participating in such acts has increased significantly. There are even 'erotic zoos' which people can visit to abuse animals ranging from llamas to goats. Hans-Michael Goldmann, chairman of the agriculture committee, said the government aimed to forbid using an animal 'for individual sexual acts and to outlaw people 'pimping' creatures to others for sexual use.' When the 1969 law banning sex with animals was banned the Animal Protection Law was introduced, but it failed to include a specific ban on zoophilia.”

Having sex with animals really isn't as niche or illegal as you might have expected (or hoped for the last time you watched our Colombian donkey fucking documentary). Rather than solely being the preserve of grainy internet footage and time-ravaged, sepia-tinged porn mags, you'll be glad to hear that the practice of fucking national fauna has actually been completely legal in Germany since 1969. Because that's kind of damaging for everyone involved – and in light of allegations that 500,000 animals die annually in the country due to extreme sexual practices – Parliament are currently drafting a law that will ban zoophilia by mid-December, making the offence punishable with a £20,000 fine.
Michael Kiok from zoophile organisation ZETA is the only person standing up for those who like to toss off horses by publicly opposing the law. I called him up to see how the new law will affect him and his fellow zoophiles.
VICE: Hey Michael. So what's your problem with this proposed law against bestiality?
Michael Kiok: It’s just bullshit. The animals we live with are in our social group and we are in theirs – we’re one herd.
Michael Kiok: It’s just bullshit. The animals we live with are in our social group and we are in theirs – we’re one herd.
Okay – interesting theory. Will this law make it illegal for you to carry on having sexual relationships with animals?No. Psychologists studied 120 zoophiles and found that zoophilia is a sexual orientation; you can’t just stop these feelings. After 10 years of trying to be married, I got divorced and decided not to force myself into the role that society had given me anymore.
Isn’t 2012 a bit late to be enforcing a bestiality law?We've had them in the past, but the prohibition of sexual contact between humans and animals was abolished in 1969 because the philosophy of penal law had changed – it used to be about morality, but then they changed it to a philosophy based on infringing on someone’s civil rights. In German law, at least, an animal is still a “thing” and they have no rights. It’s a pity they don’t, but that’s the reality. It’s only now that someone who uses animals for sexual gratification or someone who trains animals to be used by others for sexual gratification can be persecuted.
What’s the difference between zoophilia and bestiality?
Zoophiles love their animals and have an emotional attachment to them. Then, perhaps – if the animal wants it – they develop a sexual relationship. There are also people we call beasties who are just interested in sex with the animal. They’re still good to the animal, but they don’t have concept of partnership with it. Then there are a minority of people who sexually torture animals. We call them zoo sadists and we’re totally against that.

Do you think people have the wrong idea about you?Yes, there are people who say we're criminals and torturers. Thirty of them showed up at my front door once making a lot of noise about what kind of sicko I am. Interestingly, more than 90 percent of these fanatic activists are women.
Why do you think that is?
I think women see animals as children and – for them – children aren't allowed to possess sexuality. These women are very eager to castrate everything; they think that men are always brutal and forceful and they want to protect children and animals from them. They think we’re raping the animals, but I believe there are nearly as many women zoophiles as male zoophiles.

Tell me about the animal brothels.
A Danish newspaper wrote in 2005 that Danes were coming to Germany for these animal brothels. Although the head association of animal shelters in Germany said they didn’t know anything about animal brothels, lots of people thought there must be some. A year later, Parliament asked if the search had any results but the police said they didn’t find any. We don’t know of any and, to be honest, if anyone’s going to know, it’s probably us.

What do you say to people who argue that an animal can’t consent to sex?
They’re partly right. Of course it is possible to force yourself upon an animal, but we zoophiles call that rape. Zoophiles have ethics, too. One of the basic rules is that you don’t do anything an animal doesn’t want to do and you can't tie an animal down. You must always leave the animal the chance to fight back or walk away. If you’re too eager to have sex with a bitch she’ll jump at your face and bark, or a mare will kick you in the stomach, which isn't very fun.

Do the animals ever come onto you?
Yes. My bitch has no interest in sex, but sometimes she likes to be masturbated by a finger. She comes to me when I lie here on my sofa, she goes on her side and uses one of her paws to pull my hand to her belly, then I know she wants me to stroke her vagina. Similarly, a male dog will try and mount you.

Similarly, a male dog will try and mount you.
Yeah, they tend to do that.You would have pushed him away, but zoos wouldn’t – they’d kneel down and see what happens.
What’s the sexiest animal?Some zoophiles are attracted to dogs or horses. Or both. Or to several species. Everything exists. The most popular animal is the male dog, then the mare, then the female dog, then the male horse, then all the other animals.
Isn’t male horse sex notoriously deadly?
When it comes to horses, sexual intercourse is not always performed. Some people engage in it, but a man died a few years ago from a ruptured colon. Instead, you stroke the horse, lie beside them, or masturbate him or her.

That sounds really romantic. What about the more exotic animals?There are stories of people who have sexual contact with snakes, but I've never met one of them. I know someone who had sexual relations with a female tiger.
Jesus.
Yes, indeed. But she died, unfortunately.

Surely a tiger would fuck you up.
They fed her first.

IT'S LEGAL TO HAVE SEX WITH DOGS IN DENMARKMar 31 2014
http://www.vice.com/en_dk/read/its-legal-to-have-sex-with-dogs-in-denmark

It's only been a couple of weeks since Copenhagen Zoo got into a media shitstorm for turning the young, healthy giraffe Marius into lion food, but now they're at it again. This time the aforementioned lions had to make way. The arrival of a new male meant that it was bye-bye time for a flock of four. All in all, one could argue that Denmark has a rather alternative view on animal rights. The Zoo's almost weekly kill of exotic animals and the fact you can't legally buy a Pitbull terrier makes it all the more weird that it's entirely legal to screw animals. Yep, you're allowed to have sex with animals.
Unlike our neighboring countries Norway, Sweden and Germany, Denmark has no law to prevent animal sex. It's completely legal to poke your pet.
In the last seven years, multiple attempts have been made in the Danish parliament, but no legislation has been approved. In large part due to the fact that none of the big parties want to ban animal sex. Only the right wing party Dansk Folkeparti have been vocal in their efforts to ban animal sex entirely.
”It's simply incredible that there hasn't yet been a majority vote in Christiansborg (The Danish Parliament) to ban sex with animals, when this inherently is about the abuse and violation of a defenseless animal,” said Dansk Folkeparti's, then animal rights spokesman, Marlene Harpsøe to Lokal Avisen in 2011. Whether people should be allowed to have sex with their animals or not is a debate that pops up in Denmark with the same regularity as midnight showings of ”Con Air”. But after a while, the debate always reaches a sort of stalemate, dies down and alas it's still within the law to have sex with man's best friend.
Even though animal sex is legal in Denmark, it's not exactly socially accepted behavior to screw your dog. It does, however, not take too long in front of the computer to find likeminded ”animal lovers”. The website Beast Forum is the largest of its kind, a sort of international social hub for those with an inclination towards animal sex. The site boasts an active Denmark board, who's primary raison d'etre seems to be people asking to borrow male dogs for sex. According to members of the forum, that we contacted through the site's private message system, the Danes moved to Beast Forum after the danish equivalent Dyresex.dk (Animalsex.dk) closed down. Presumabley after getting some, not entirely unsurprising, bad press. Dyresex.dk had a reputation in the Danish media as a matchmaking-site between people who wanted to make a quick buck renting out their animals for sex and people who were interested in paying for exactly these services.
In 2007, two journalists from the newspaper 24timer obtained access to an animal brothel in Jutland, the Western part of Denmark, claiming to be interested in a bit of "horseplay". They gained access to the community through Dyresex and filmed with a hidden camera as they were offered a horse for their sexual needs. Beast Forum seems to be working in the same way, though several of its members have been adamant that it's considered bad practice and is frowned upon to rent out your animal for sex.
Animal rights groups have warned that Denmark is becoming a destination for animal sex tourism, a sort of Pattaya beach for the inbred, but so far it hasn't happened yet. Websites condemning the politicians and the practitioners of animal sex, have started popping up. One such is the website Zoofili.dk, whose web design makes one reminisce of Netscape and 56k modems. The guy behind the website is furious and demands that humans and animals stop having sex immediately. To make the law makers feel the heat, he has dedicated a large portion of his site to homemade drawings of politicians getting it on with a myriad of wildlife.
Wanting to know a little more about all of this, we caught up with Beast Forum user Michael (not necessarily his real name), a 29 year old man from the Funen-area of Denmark. He's been into animal sex for more than ten years and kindly agreed to a Skype meeting with us.
VICE: How did you realize that sex with animals turned you on?
Michael : It started when I was 14-15 years old. I grew up in the countryside so I'd often seen animals mating and that made me curious.
You don't say. When did you have your first sexual experience with an animal.
A couple of years ago. I had talked about animal sex with a female friend and she got curious about it. She had her own dog and one day she let the dog take her. The next day, she told me about it and we went to her place and I got to watch. And later to try it myself. The dog looked interested in me, so I let it take me.
What is it about animals that turns you on?
It's difficult to explain..They are more honest and, well, more animal like. If a dog likes you there is no doubt about it. Contrary to what people think, an animal can easily say no, if it doesn't want to have sex with you. I guess some animals are just beautiful and lovely to be with.
Which species turn you on?
Mostly dogs, horses a bit as well. And in dogs, specifically Colliers, Labradors and Schaefer's. Beautiful dogs. Most of my experiences have been with dogs, but I also caressed a mare once.
How often do you practice sex with animals?
Probably two or three times a month. Sometimes more, sometimes less. I own a wonderful big male dog with my wife. But it varies.
Does your wife know that you have sex with the dog?
Yes.
What does she make of that then?
Well, after she learned more about it, she is interested in it herself.
Does your wife have sex with the dog?
Once in while, yes.
Are there feelings involved or is it just sex?
Well, within the culture, we differentiate zoo's (from zoophile) and beast's. Zoo's love their animals, not the same way I love my wife, but love none the less. Beasts force themselves on the animal, they are the ones giving animal sex a bad name. I am a zoo. Probably 95 percent of the people who have sex with animals do it for more than just the sex.
Dare I ask how you go about intercourse with your dog? He's male right?
He started it himself when he was younger. I was getting a DVD from the machine and that was all he needed. That is when he took me the first time. Later he has learned when it's ok and when it's not, judging by me and my wife's body language. The sex is like this: I'm naked and on all four. If he wants to go, he'll jump up and take me. If not, he'll go get a toy, I'll put my clothes back on and we'll go into the garden and play normal with each other.
Is there any danger of contracting STD's when you have sex with animals?
Yes. That's one of the reasons that I don't borrow my dog out to other people. Also, it would feel wrong, he's part of the family. But the sex that me and my wife have with him is unprotected. There's a lot of stuff in condoms that's unhealthy for the dog, so you need to be really careful.

Is it hard hiding your sexual preferences in your daily life?
Not at all. It's easy to hide. If we have guests over who don't know I'm a zoo, all they see is a guy who loves animals. But I'm very open about it. Most of my friends know about it. It's actually pretty common, I bet you know some zoo's without realizing it.
Animal rights groups have been warning that Denmark is becoming a destination for animal sex tourism. Have you seen anything to support that?
No, far from it. The community does not approve of animal sex tourism. If people come to Denmark with the sole purpose of having sex with animals, they'll be sorely disappointed.
What about animal brothels? There's been plenty of media hype about them in Denmark.
In my 11 years in the animal sex community I have never seen one, or even heard of one. If one opened, you can bet yourself that most zoo's would be against it. Animal's need to have the chance to say no to sex. I can't tell you that they don't exist. There's about six million people in this country, so you can probably find someone doing this, but you are going to have to look for a long time.
If animal brothels don't exist, how does one go about finding an animal for sex?
Well I waited for eight years. Maybe you're lucky and find somebody with a dog that wants to have sex with strangers. Otherwise you can buy your own, though you shouldn't buy a dog just so you can have sex with it. Or start with animal dildos. Before my first experience, I started with a couple of dog dildos.
The law in Denmark allows animal sex, as long as the animal doesn't suffer from it. What's your view on that?
I think the law is perfect the way it is. If animal sex is made illegal - it's only people like me, who love their dogs, that are going to get punished. People who abuse their animals aren't going to stop. But people like me could have our lives ruined. And if you're doubtful that animals enjoy sex with humans, you haven't seen it in real life. There is no doubt in my mind that my dog looks forward to have sex with me and enjoys it every single time.
◆ANIMAL SEXUAL ABUSE FACT SHEET




◆WHAT IS ANIMAL SEXUAL ABUSE?
Animal sexual abuse, often referred to as bestiality*, is the sexual molestation of an animal by a human. This kind of animal abuse includes a wide range of behaviors such as vaginal, anal, or oral penetration; fondling; oral-genital contact; penetration using an object; and killing or injuring an animal for sexual gratification. Animal sexual abuse may or may not include physical violence other than the sexual violation; and may or may not result in physical injury to the animal. Animal sexual abuse, like rape, is the eroticization of violence, control, and exploitation.
◆IS ANIMAL SEXUAL ABUSE A PROBLEM TODAY?
Yes, although we don’t have statistics to tell us how many animals currently are being sexually abused. This problem is difficult to quantify because most of the abuse occurs in secret and the victims can never tell. Studies of the rate of human attempts to have forced sex with animals have variously estimated that the percentage of males who sexually abuse animals is between 1 and 65 % (Adams, 1995). Kinsey & Pomeroy’s 1948 study of male sexual behavior found that 8% of the total U.S. male population admitted to having had sexual contact with animals.
Evidence that sexual abuse of animals still occurs is readily available. Almost any internet search engine will lead you to very graphic and disturbing material describing and promoting the sexual abuse of animals. Photographs of this abuse are easily accessed by anyone on the internet, even children. And for every photograph shown on the internet, a real animal was abused. Detailed how-to guides for the sexual abuse of animals involving a variety of species can be found on the internet, along with information on laws, animal- transmitted diseases, personal advertisements, “pro-zoophile” resources, and even a model letter for an animal abuser to use to “come-out” to his/her friends and relatives. Many web sites provide links to numerous different pornographic sites that include the sexual abuse of animals. One site provided almost 200 links, and this site alone reports receiving approximately 46,000 visits per day. Investigating and reporting these internet activities has proven difficult—sites are often moved and renamed, and identities are kept secret. Many “zoophiles” or “zoosexuals,” as they refer to themselves, spend hours communicating with other abusers in internet chat rooms where animal sexual abuse is accepted or even promoted, advice is given, and detailed descriptions of abusive activities are shared.
◆IS IT REALLY ANIMAL ABUSE?
Yes. Sexual molestation of animals by humans may physically injure or kill the animal victim. Cases of dogs with severe rectal tearing from anal sexual contact; cats killed by penetration by a human male; chickens decapitated to increase the abuser’s sexual pleasure; animals beaten stabbed, or mutilated during or after sexual contact; and animals crushed for sexual gratification have been reported. Many animals are physically restrained during the abuse. Not all cases of animal sexual abuse will involve physical injury to the animal, but all sexual molestation of an animal by a human is abuse.
In his 1993 article, Dr. Frank Ascione stated that “bestiality may be considered cruel even in cases when physical harm to an animal does not occur (this is similar to the case of adult sexual activity with a child where consent is presumed to be impossible).” This is because animals are unable to be fully informed, communicate consent, or to speak out about their abuse. In a 1997 article, Piers Beirne, Professor of Criminology at the University of Southern Maine, points out that “for genuine consent to sexual relations to be present...both participants must be conscious, fully informed and positive in their desires. Bestiality is by nature sexual coercion because animals are incapable of genuinely saying ‘yes’ or ‘no’ to humans in forms we can readily understand.” In human-animal relationships, the human has power and control over the animal, often in all aspects of the animal’s care and well-being. Thus, a sexual “relationship” between human and animal cannot be considered consensual.
*Animal sexual abuse may also be referred to as zoophilia, bestiality, zooerasty, or sodomy.
◆ISN’T ALL THIS ATTENTION ON ANIMAL ABUSE AN INTRUSION ON AN INDIVIDUAL’S PRIVATE SEXUAL CHOICES?
No. Unlike sexual interactions between consenting adult humans, animal sexual abuse is not simply about an individual’s private sexual choice. As in the case of child sexual abuse and adult rape, animal sexual abuse is an activity in which one party has no choice and cannot consent or refuse. When he/she initiates a sexual activity in which the other partner has no choices and must participate, the sexual abuser of animals leaves the realm of private action.
◆WHO SEXUALLY ABUSES ANIMALS?
Although there has been little research to date on animal sexual abuse and its perpetrators, case reports and anecdotal accounts indicate that men are the primary abusers, although women and children may be forced or coerced into sexual acts with animals or may be abusers themselves. Reports indicate a wide age range of abusers. Abusers may feel isolated, insecure, and powerless. They may have difficulty in forming healthy interpersonal relationships with other adult humans and may have experienced neglect, physical abuse or sexual abuse as a child. Some may suffer from mental illness. In a study published in the International Journal of Psychosomatics (Alvarez & Freinhar, 1991), psychiatric patients exhibited a significantly higher prevalence rate (55%) of bestiality than control groups of medical inpatients (10%) and psychiatric staff members (15%).
◆WHY DO PEOPLE SEXUALLY ABUSE ANIMALS?
People sexually abuse animals for a variety of reasons. Many abusers fall into one or more of the categories below (adapted from Carol Adams, 1995):
1. Opportunistic/Experimental: This type of abuse is often viewed as the act of a curious youth or a lonely man. These individuals may seek out animals for sexual gratification because animals are accessible, vulnerable, and non-threatening. They may abuse an animal out of boredom, insecurity, curiosity or as a substitute for a human partner. This type of abuser becomes accustomed to the idea that it is acceptable to exploit and control others for his/her own sexual gratification.
2. Fixated/Primary: In this category of animal sexual abuse, animals are the primary or exclusive focus of a human’s sexual desires. These abusers often refer to themselves as “zoophiles.” Some individuals may have species or gender preferences and use pornography involving animals. They defend their sexual abuse of animals as “consensual,” claiming it benefits their “partners,” and characterize their behavior as “loving.” The rationalizations used to justify their actions are the same as those used by pedophiles, and, as in the case of victims of pedophiles, the claimed motivations don’t matter to the victims. Just as pedophiles may seek out employment in child-related fields, this type of animal sexual abuser may seek out employment in animal- related fields in order to have access to numerous potential victims.
3. Domineering/Sadistic: Batterers, rapists and pornographers may force women, children, and other vulnerable individuals to have sex with animals in order to humiliate, dominate, control, and exploit the human and animal victims. Children who have been sexually abused may act out their abuse on animals in an attempt to gain a sense of control. Some people may derive sexual gratification from the pain and suffering inflicted while sexually abusing animals. This type of sadistic sexual abuser will probably injure or kill the animal.
Any type of animal sexual abuse can involve the use of force and physical violence and may result in the intentional or unintentional death of the animal.
◆WHAT ANIMALS ARE VICTIMS OF SEXUAL ABUSE?
Cases of sexual abuse of animals include many species, both domestic and wild. Dogs and horses are the most frequently mentioned targets. Their availability and status as companions may make them likely victims. Dogs may be acquired from free-to-good home advertisements, pet shops, breeders, animal shelters or as strays. Animals who are kept outside, such as dogs, horses, cows, sheep, chickens, may be abused by “fence- jumpers” who trespass to gain access to animal victims. Wildlife in captivity, such as those in roadside zoos, may also be vulnerable to abusers.
◆IS THERE A CONNECTION BETWEEN ANIMAL SEXUAL ABUSE AND DOMESTIC VIOLENCE, CHILD ABUSE AND OTHER VIOLENT CRIMES?
The sexual abuse of animals is often linked to the sexual abuse of women and children (Kowal, 1998). This form of domestic violence involves the use of animals for degradation and sexual exploitation of the battered partner. According to Lenore Walker (1979), bestiality may be a part of further tormenting and humiliating the victim. In Walker’s (1984) interviews with battered women, bestiality was mentioned as one of the “unusual sex acts” desired by their partners. In a test group made up of women who had past relationships with battering and nonbattering partners, it was found that this experience occurred with 41% of the battering partners and 5% of the non-battering partners. Child sexual abusers may also sexually abuse animals to enhance, expand or extend the abuse of the genuinely powerless and unsuspecting victim (Adams, 1994). Some case studies of sexual abuse of children include reports of forcing children to interact sexually with animals (Ascione, 1993). A child’s sexual abuse of an animal may be a warning sign that the child is a victim or witness of physical, sexual or emotional abuse.
Research also indicates a connection between animal sexual abuse and other types of violent crimes. According to a 1986 study, forty percent of the perpetrators of sexually motivated homicides who had been sexually abused as children also reported that they had sexually abused animals (Ressler, et al. 1986).
◆IS ANIMAL SEXUAL ABUSE ILLEGAL?
Vermont has no law specifically outlawing this activity, however a recent case in Franklin County was successfully prosecuted under the animal cruelty statute.
◆WHY DON’T ALL STATES HAVE LAWS AGAINST ANIMAL SEXUAL ABUSE?
Many of the laws that prohibit sexual activities between consenting adults have been repealed by state legislatures because the laws seemed to be no longer relevant to society. Additionally, courts have ruled invalid broad laws covering some sexual practices. These attempts to modernize current societal attitudes in our laws have inadvertently caused animal sexual abuse to be legalized.
◆WHAT DO MOST OF THE CURRENT LAWS AGAINST ANIMAL SEXUAL ABUSE INCLUDE?
In general, state bestiality laws prohibit a person from intentionally engaging in any sexual act, penetration or intercourse with the genitalia of an animal.
◆WHAT TYPES OF PENALTIES EXIST FOR ANIMAL SEXUAL ABUSE?
Sex with an animal is a felony in five states and a misdemeanor in nineteen. Maximum penalties go as high as a $50,000 in Montana; Massachusetts and Rhode Island may imprison offenders for up to 20 years.
◆WHAT SHOULD AN ANIMAL SEXUAL ABUSE LAW COVER?
These laws should be comprehensive enough to protect all animals. In addition to prohibiting sexual acts with animals, these laws should also prohibit 1) coercing anyone to have sex with animals; 2) entering into sexual acts with animals in front of a child; 3) using an object to sexually abuse an animal; 4) videotaping sexual animal abuse; and 5) killing or violently abusing animals for sexual gratification. As part of the sentencing the courts should have the option of requiring the convicted abuser to not reside in a home where animals also reside, not to work or volunteer his or her services in a facility where animals are kept, and to undergo a psychological evaluation and counseling at the abuser’s expense. This language should be in addition to any existing anti-cruelty statutory language.
◆WON’T A LAW PROHIBITING THIS ACTIVITY BE ANOTHER CASE OF LEGISLATING AN INDIVIDUAL’S PERSONAL LIFE?
No—this behavior is animal abuse and therefore must be addressed by the law. Furthermore, this activity is not merely “personal” any more than the sexual abuse of children or the rape of adults is merely personal sexual activities.
◆DON’T STATE ANTICRUELTY STATUTES ALREADY COVER THIS MISTREATMENT?
In some instances, state law could be applied when animal sexual abuse occurs. However, many statutes contain wording that would only cover sexual abuse if the animal is killed or severely injured making a case of animal abuse difficult to prove. Also, in most states certain animals (such as farm animals, wild animals, animals in laboratories, animals in USDA licensed facilities, or animals belonging to the abuser) are not covered by the anti-cruelty law and therefore would not be covered. And in other states, the cruelty statute only applies to mistreatment of someone else’s animals but doesn’t protect animals from the person who owns them. Especially in this type of case, the owner of the animal is often the abuser.
◆SHOULD A PROHIBITION ON ANIMAL SEXUAL ABUSE BE INCLUDED IN A LAW THAT ADDRESSES OTHER HUMAN SEXUAL ACTS?
Not if that law addresses activities not involving animals. Such a law could easily be overturned by the courts as a result of changing attitudes about the other sexual activities covered by the law—without specifically intending to, the court would thereby make sexual molestation of animals legal. As of January 1999, eight states (California, Delaware, Georgia, North Dakota, Utah, and Wisconsin) have laws that address sexual abuse of animals exclusively. Another sixteen states laws lump animal sexual abuse with such activities as having sex with a dead human being or with a minor child. The HSUS suggests that prohibiting language be placed immediately after a state anticruelty statute.
◆WHY HAS THE HUMANE SOCIETY OF THE UNITED STATES DEVELOPED THIS CAMPAIGN?
Animal cruelty is the focus of The Humane Society of the United States’ (HSUS) First Strike® Campaign. Animal sexual abuse is a rarely discussed and often overlooked form of animal cruelty. The HSUS, through the First Strike® Campaign, addresses the connection between animal cruelty and human violence by promoting strong legislation dealing with animal cruelty, providing information and resources to communities to develop coordinated responses to violence, educating the public and professionals dealing with violence issues about the animal cruelty/human violence connection, and encouraging the public and relevant professionals to treat animal cruelty as a serious crime and a predictor or indicator of other criminal activity. The HSUS is committed to ending all forms of animal cruelty, including the sexual abuse of animals.
The HSUS believes that individuals who sexually abuse animals should be held accountable for their actions. Although some abusers may seek help on their own, most will not. The criminal justice system offers an opportunity to intervene in the life of the abuser and to protect future animal victims, as well as possible human victims. In additional to jail time, fines, probation, or other penalties, those convicted of animal sexual abuse should receive a thorough psychological evaluation, and counseling, if appropriate. The HSUS has initiated this campaign in order to educate the public and legislators about the serious nature of animal sexual abuse.
◆WHAT IS THE HUMANE SOCIETY OF THE UNITED STATES DOING ABOUT THIS PROBLEM?
As part of its First Strike® Campaign against animal abuse and human violence, The HSUS is launching an effort to enact laws prohibiting animal sexual abuse in the states that don’t have such laws. We are also urging those states that do have laws against animal sexual abuse to strengthen them. The HSUS is also working to educate the public and professionals in law enforcement, animal shelters, and the mental health field about the serious nature of animal sexual abuse and what they can do to stop it.
◆WHAT CAN I DO?
You can work with your state legislators to enact or strengthen animal sexual abuse laws. If you would like more information on how to go about this, contact The HSUS’s government affairs staff. You can also contact the servers of web sites that provide space for animal sexual abuse information and tell them that the material is offensive. Tell these servers that at the very least they should keep animal sexual abuse sites out of the reach of children. Many servers do not want to be associated with this kind of material, and some will remove it. Finally, you spread the word about animal sexual abuse—help The HSUS to educate everyone so that together we can protect animals from abusers.
THE LAST TABOO?
EUROPEANS PAY BIG FOR BARNYARD SEX
It's legal – and it doesn't scare the horses,
say customers, animal houses of ill repute
Is it just the latest alternate lifestyle?
Denmark’s animal bordellos – in which people pay for sex with horses and other beasts – are advertising on the ‘Net and drawing customers from as far away as Norway, Germany, Holland and Sweden.
As long as no one gets hurt – including the animals – Denmark won’t prosecute. Neither Denmark and Norway have any laws banning the practice of bestiality – at least not yet.
The proprietors – and presumably customers as well – have convinced themselves and the governments involved that the animals are experienced and welcome the chance for this intimate interaction with another species.

Danish animal owner offers his horse to journalist posing as potential client
Aftenposten and 24timer are reporting it costs between $85 and $170 for some animal action.
Torunn Kn?velsrud, the Norwegian food safety authority’s section chief for animal welfare, expressed skepticism that animals could welcome sex with people.
“It could be that the animals don’t really care,” Kn?velsrud said. “But I think it is in the nature of the case that animals will often be victims of injury, stress or suffering in connection with sexual acts with humans. Either that they are held fast, or frightened, or suffer pain or physical injury.”
The animal bordellos could soon find themselves forced underground, however. A new Norwegian Animal Protection Act is being considered that includes proposals from the Norwegian Animal Welfare Alliance and others prohibiting sexual intercourse with animals.
“The acts provoke moral disgust,” Kn?velsrud. “The question is whether immorality should be made illegal. The FSA group discussing the new animal protection act has been in disagreement about this.”
A farmer who sells animal sex said he is extremely surprised that foreigners are ready to travel so far for it.
“But the clients tell us that it is much simpler to buy animal sex in Denmark than in their own country,” a horse owner from Nord-Jylland told the newspaper.
A new dissertation from the Institute of Criminology at the University of Oslo showed that Norwegian veterinarians know of at least 124 cases of animal sex abuse in Norway. The thesis reports that 22 percent of Norwegian veterinarians suspect or are sure that they have treated animals that have been sexually abused by humans.
Peter Sand?e, chairman of the Council on the Ethical Treatment of Animals, said that it is difficult to determine the extent of the problem and how many owners actually lease their animals for sexual purposes.
“It’s hard to get a handle on animal sex because the problem crosses over borders,” he said. “I realize the phenomenon exists and has a certain scope, and that knowledge will be included in the discussions about how we think the law ought to be changed.”

Bestiality brothels are spreading through Germany faster than ever thanks to a law that makes animal porn illegal but sex with animals legal, a livestock protection officer has warned.
Madeleine Martin told the Frankfurter Rundschau that current laws were not protecting animals from predatory zoophiles who are increasingly able to turn to bestiality as a 'lifestyle choice'.
She highlighted one case where a farmer in the Gross-Gerau region of southwest Germany, noticed his once friendly flock of sheep were beginning to shy away from human contact.
Shock discovery: Ms Martin told of one case where a farmer rigged a CCTV camera in the rafters of his barn after finding his normally friendly sheep refusing human contact, to discover multiple men sneaking in in the dead of night to sexually abuse his beloved livestock
So he rigged a CCTV camera in the rafters of his barn to discover multiple men sneaking in during the night to sexually abuse his beloved livestock.
'There are now animal brothels in Germany,' Martin told the paper, adding that people were playing down the issue by by describing it as a 'lifestyle choice'.
Armed with a host of similar case studies, Ms Martin is now calling for the government to categorically ban bestiality across the country.
Defenceless: There are even 'erotic zoos' which people can visit to abuse animals ranging from llamas to goats
Last November German authorities said they were planning to reinstate an old law forbidding sex with animals after a sharp rise in incidents of bestiality along with websites promoting it.
Parliament began debating changes to the national Animal Protection Code with the agricultural committee of the Bundestag pledging fines of up to £20,000 for a first offence.
Bestiality dropped off the statute books as a crime in 1969 but in recent years the number of people believed to be participating in such acts has increased significantly.
There are even 'erotic zoos' which people can visit to abuse animals ranging from llamas to goats.
Hans-Michael Goldmann, chairman of the agriculture committee, said the government aimed to forbid using an animal 'for individual sexual acts and to outlaw people 'pimping' creatures to others for sexual use.'
German 'zoophile' group ZETA has announced it will mount a legal challenge should a ban on bestiality become law.
'Mere concepts of morality have no business being law,' said ZETA chairman Michael Kiok.
When the 1969 law banning sex with animals was banned the Animal Protection Law was introduced, but it failed to include a specific ban on zoophilia.
The terms bestiality and zoophilia are the formal names for having sex with animals for pleasure.

An animal protection officer in the German state of Hesse has expressed frustration with a German law that makes spreading bestiality porn illegal — but the act itself legal.
Madeleine Martin told the Frankfurter Rundschau that current laws were not protecting animals from zoophilia, and the problem was getting worse.
"There are now animal brothels in Germany," Martin told the paper, and people were playing down the importance of the act by describing it as a "lifestyle".
Luckily Germany's animal protection laws, dating from 1969, are due to be reformed soon. Let's hope the German government sees sense and outlaws animal brothels, finally.
German Legislators Vote to Outlaw Bestiality
By CHRIS COTTRELL
FEBRUARY 1, 2013
BERLIN — Germany’s upper house of Parliament, the Bundesrat, voted Friday to criminalize for the first time “using an animal for personal sexual activities” and to punish offenders with fines of as much as $34,000. It was the final legislative hurdle for a bill the lower house passed in December.
The vote follows months of debate that pitted zoophiles against animal rights and protection advocates. Sexual mores seemed not to play a paramount role.
The ban, which carries only a misdemeanor charge, is an amendment to the country’s animal protection law, multifaceted legislation that, among other things, regulates animal testing and the sale of animals and prohibits animal abuse, including “using an animal for personal sexual activities or making them available to third parties for sexual activities and thereby forcing them to behave in ways that are inappropriate to their species.”
Zoophiles argue that their relationships with their pets, or “partners” as they prefer, are entirely mutual. Michael Kiok, a director of the advocacy group Zoophilic Engagement for Tolerance and Enlightenment, who now finds himself the de facto face of zoophilia in Germany, says animals are perfectly capable of expressing whether or not they desire sex.
Animal-rights groups have criticized men like Mr. Kiok, saying they put defenseless creatures in harm’s way.
But David Zimmermann, an animal caretaker who is also a director of the zoophilic group, said: “It’s a sexual aspect that is entirely foreign to most people. They just see a man and think, ‘What terrible things is he doing to that dog?’ ”
Mr. Zimmermann had a Great Dane with which he occasionally had sex, but it died four months ago, he said. Now he lives with his similarly zoophilic boyfriend and their Dalmatian.
“For me she’s just a good friend that I care about very, very much — there’s no sex,” Mr. Zimmermann said after a recent screening here of a documentary-style film on zoophilia that depicted fictitious characters like a pornography star with sexual feelings for cats and a butcher who fell in love with a pig.
The film was shown in a stuffy cinema in downtown Berlin that resembled a school classroom more than a movie theater, with rows of foldable chairs and a projector screen. It delved into a more philosophical side of the debate, with its view that it is hypocritical to denounce romantic relationships with animals while largely ignoring the existence of slaughterhouses or fur coats.

Seit der großen Strafrechtsreform von 1969 ist der sexuelle Kontakt zwischen Mensch und Tier nicht mehr strafbar. Doch viele Tiere werden seitdem sexuell missbraucht. Nun fordert die hessische Landestierschutzbeauftragte Madeleine Martin ein Verbot der Zoophilie.
Es waren kleine Details, an denen die Landwirte aus Groß-Gerau erkannten, dass etwas mit ihren Schafen nicht stimmte. Waren die Tiere zuvor sehr zutraulich, mieden sie nun den Kontakt zu Menschen. Erst als die Tierhalter eine Kamera in ihrem Stall installierten, kamen sie dem Grund auf die Spur. Mehrfach hatte sich ein Mann nächtens in den Stall geschlichen, um die Tiere sexuell zu missbrauchen.

Zoophilie bedeutet das sexuelle Hingezogensein zu Tieren, das auch sexuelle Handlungen umfassen kann. Laut der internationalen statistischen Klassifikation der Krankheiten und verwandter Gesundheitsprobleme ist es eine gestörte Sexualpräferenz. Der veraltete Begriff heißt Sodomie.
Über die Verbreitunggibt es kaum Anhaltspunkte. Eine Webseite, die von einem anonymen Zoophilen betrieben wird, registrierte seit ihrer Gründung im Jahr 2001 zirka 31.000 Seitenbesuche.
Das Bundesministeriumfür Ernährung, Landwirtschaft und Verbrucherschutz erörtert derzeit mit den Ländern strengere rechtliche Regelungen. In der Schweiz, in Frankreich, Großbritannien und Belgien wurde Sex mit Tieren in den vergangenen Jahren bereits unter Strafe gestellt.
Mit solchen Fallbeispielen begründet Madeleine Martin, hessische Landestierschutzbeauftragte, ihren erneuten Vorstoß für ein gesetzliches Verbot der Zoophilie. Seit der großen Strafrechtsreform von 1969 ist der sexuelle Kontakt zwischen Mensch und Tier nicht mehr strafbar. Zwar verbietet das Tierschutzgesetz es, Wirbeltieren „aus Rohheit erhebliche Schmerzen oder Leiden zuzufügen“, doch der Nachweis eben dieser „Erheblichkeit“ gestalte sich bei sexuellem Missbrauch schwierig, betont Martin. „Leider haben 40 Jahre Vollzugspraxis gezeigt, dass die tierschutzrechtlichen Regelungen bei dieser Thematik ins Leere laufen.“
Sechs Fällen sind bislang in Hessen bekannt

Sechs Fällen sind bislang in Hessen bekannt
Wie oft Tiere Opfer sexueller Übergriffe werden, lässt sich schwer einschätzen. Statistisch erfasst wird nur die strafrechtlich relevante Verbreitung von Gewalt- und Tierpornografie. Im Jahre 2011 verzeichnete die hessische Polizei sechs Fälle. Ralf Kurtze vom Landestierschutzverband Hessen berichtet, dass sein Verband ein- bis zweimal pro Quartal mit der sogenannten Zoophilie konfrontiert wird. Die Symptome reichten von Verhaltensstörungen über Wesensveränderungen bis zu Verletzungen im Analbereich. „Wir können die Tiere dann nur versorgen und verhaltenstherapeutisch betreuen“, sagt Kurtze. Der Tierschutzverband unterstütze Martins Initiative: „In Tierschutzkreisen gibt es bei dem Thema keine zwei Meinungen.“
Anlass für Martins Forderung ist die anstehende Novellierung des Tierschutzgesetzes. Bis 2013 muss der bundesdeutsche Gesetzgeber die EU-Richtlinie über Tierversuche in nationales Recht umsetzen. Bei dieser Gelegenheit, hofft die Tierschutzbeauftragte, könnte das Zoophilie-Verbot wieder festgeschrieben werden.
Die Grenzen zwischen zoophilen und pädophilen Tätern sind fließend
Widerspruch dürfte Martin derweil auf unzähligen Zoophilie-Internetseiten ernten. Dort wird der Sex mit Tieren als – in der Regel – einvernehmlicher Akt dargestellt, den die Tiere angeblich genießen. Gewalt sei, wie in zwischenmenschlichen Beziehungen auch, abzulehnen. Eine Auffassung, die Martin aufs Schärfste zurückweist: „Tiere sind nicht fähig, Einvernehmen zu signalisieren, geschweige denn Folgen abzusehen.“ Zudem hätten amerikanische und deutsche Studien gezeigt, dass „die Grenzen zwischen zoophilen und pädophilen Tätern fließend“ seien.
Dieser Einschätzung widerspricht indes der Frankfurter Sexualwissenschaftler Volkmar Sigusch: „Für diese Annahme gibt es keinen einzigen wissenschaftlichen Beweis.“ Ein gesetzliches Verbot von Zoophilie hält er für kontraproduktiv: „Ein Gesetz gegen Zoophilie wäre eine Katastrophe. Es würde Millionen Menschen verstören und kriminalisieren. Außerdem könnte das Delikt in aller Regel gar nicht nachgewiesen werden.“

"Klappe halten“, sagt Dieter Müller* zu seinem schwarzen Mischlingsrüden Max* und zieht ein wenig ruppig an der Leine. Max schaut nach oben, knurrt noch einmal leise und ist still. „Guuut gemacht“, sagt Müller, greift in seine Tasche und wirft ein Leckerli auf den Boden; Max ignoriert es. Für Müller ist das Tier mehr als ein vierbeiniger Begleiter. Seit seinem 16. Lebensjahr, sagt der Mann, lebe er zoophil. „Ich habe Beziehungen mit Tieren, die sexuelle Handlungen nicht ausschließen.“
Bis 1969 war Sex mit Tieren untersagt, danach wurde das Verbot aus dem deutschen Strafgesetzbuch gestrichen. Das Land Hessen will dieses Jahr eine Bundesratsinitiative einreichen, um diesen Schritt wieder rückgängig zu machen, sagt Landes-Tierschutzbeauftragte Madeleine Martin.
Die derzeitige Gesetzeslage setze die Hürde, einem Tier zu helfen, zu hoch. Denn erst, wenn massive Verletzungen festgestellt würden, so Martin, dürften die Behörden eingreifen. Die Initiative sei bereits verfasst, ob und wann sie im Kabinett eingereicht wird, muss jetzt die neue hessische Umweltministerin Lucia Puttrich (CDU) entscheiden. „Ich bin optimistisch, dass wir sie bald einreichen werden“, sagt Martin.
Müller weiß, dass er mit seinen Neigungen nicht der Norm entspricht. Er wolle anonym bleiben, um seinen Beruf nicht zu gefährden, sagt der Mann, der den Augenkontakt scheut, bei der Unterhaltung meist auf den Boden schaut.
„Es gibt viele Vorurteile über die Zoophilie“, sagt er und zeichnet dabei mit seinen Händen nervös Kreise in der Luft. Außer seinen Kollegen und einigen entfernten Bekannten wüssten jedoch alle Menschen aus seinem Umfeld von seiner sexuellen Neigung, auch seine Eltern.
Eine Therapie, sagt er, habe ihm bisher niemand nahe gelegt. Und Beziehungen zu Frauen habe er daneben auch. „Meinen Beziehungen erzähle ich immer sofort davon“, so Müller. Seine aktuelle Freundin sei sogar meist dabei, wenn er mit seinem Hund „spiele“, wie er es nennt, wenn er sich an dem Tier befriedigt. Das geschehe ungefähr einmal in zwei Wochen. „Sexuelle Handlungen entstehen bei uns immer spielerisch“, sagt Müller. Dabei fordere er nie den Hund auf, sondern der Hund ihn. „Er stupst mich dann zum Beispiel an“, erzählt er. Anschließend komme es meist zur gegenseitigen Masturbation. Ein Hund, meint er, könne dem Menschen in seiner Sprache kommunizieren, was er will und was nicht. Zwingen würde er ihn nie.
Es bestehe grundsätzlich ein Machtgefälle zwischen Mensch und Haustier, sagt Verhaltenswissenschaftlerin Dorit Feddersen-Petersen, die an der Universität Kiel jahrelang vergleichend das Verhalten von Hunden und Wölfen erforschte. Der Hund sei vom Menschen abhängig und habe, wenn dieser es nicht erlaube, keine Möglichkeit, seine Sexualtriebe mit anderen Artgenossen auszuleben. Deshalb masturbierten auch einige Hunde am Bein ihrer Besitzer.
„Wenn Hunde so etwas tun, ist das keine Aufforderung zum Geschlechtsverkehr“, stellt Feddersen-Petersen klar. Es handle sich um fehlgeleitete Triebabfuhr. Dasselbe gelte für körperliche Reaktionen wie Hecheln, wenn der Mensch am Tier sexuelle Handlungen ausführe. Was als Lustausdruck fehlinterpretiert werde, sei nicht selten das Verhalten eines Tieres, das einer extremen Belastungssituation ausgeliefert sei, sagt Feddersen-Petersen.
Die Wissenschaftlerin sieht im Umgang mit Haustieren vor allem ein Problem: „Tiere sind unendlich geduldig.“ Die Qualen, die ein Hund dabei erleide, seien schwer nachweisbar. „Der Respekt und die Sorge für das Leben der Tiere sollten an erster Stelle aller Überlegungen stehen“, sagt Feddersen-Petersen. Sie fordert, Zoophilie als Straftatbestand in das Tierschutzgesetz aufzunehmen.
Auch Adelheid Noble, Leiterin des Tierschutzvereins in Limburg, wünscht sich ein solches Gesetz. Sie berichtet etwa vom Verhalten einer Dobermannmischlings-Hündin, die wegen nicht artgerechter Haltung vom Verein sichergestellt wurde: „Sobald ein Mann den Raum betrat, warf sie sich auf den Boden und streckte alle viere von sich“, erzählt Noble. „Das wurde ihr vermutlich so antrainiert.“
Jeder habe sehen können, dass dieser Hündin Leid angetan worden sei, sagt sie. Weil schwere physische Verletzungen nicht erkennbar waren, kam es zu keiner Anzeige. Die Hündin wurde weiter vermittelt und müsse nun erst wieder den normalen Umgang mit Menschen lernen.
Müller versteht die Kritik nicht. „Ich habe Max nur das Natürliche erlaubt“, sagt er. Der Hund sehe den Menschen als Rudelmitglied an – und es liege am Menschen, ob er diesen Status bis zur letzten Konsequenz auslebe oder nicht.
Müller hat das bisher nur mit Pferden getan. Dafür ging er auf abgelegene Koppeln und suchte nach weiblichen Tieren, die paarungsbereit waren. „Wenn eine Stute die Ohren angelegt hat, habe ich aufgehört“, sagt Müller. Heute würde er das sowieso nicht mehr machen, „weil ich mich nicht in eine andere Beziehung drängen will“.
Das Verhältnis zu seinem Hund beschreibt Müller als Liebesbeziehung: „Ich liebe ihn in der Stärke genauso wie meine Freundin, aber als Hund.“ Ob sein Hund ihn auch liebt, könne er freilich nicht sagen.
