GERMANY is poised to reinstate an old law banning sex with animals after a sharp rise in incidents of
bestiality — and even the pimping of farm animals.
The country's parliament is due to debate changes to the national Animal Protection Code this week, with the
agricultural committee of the Bundestag pledging fines of £20,000 for a first offence.
Bestiality dropped off the statute books as a crime in 1969 but in recent years incidents of it have mushroomed
along with websites promoting it.
There are even "erotic zoos" for perverts to visit and 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”.
But pro-zoophilia campaign group ZETA — Zoophiles Commitment to Tolerance and Enlightenment — vowed
to challenge any ban on bestiality.
Chairman Michael Kiok said: “Mere concepts of morality have no business being law.”
