i believe animals are like babies... all they know is food, sleep, pooping, and pain...
and they definately cannot defend themselves.

so if its ok to have sex with animals then it should be ok to have sex with babies.

as far as im concenred people who practice bestiality should be amputated from the waist down.


i have pets and eat meat.. :p

An animal wouldn't do something if it thought it was painful.

Not that I advocate bestiality, but:

1) Prove it's cruel to the animals
2)Many of these animals are legal to kill for eating, why not make it legal to have sex with them?
3)The Libertarian in me says that they are not infringing on anyone civil rights or harming the greater good, so why not let 'em? Just because you don't agree with it and think it's wrong doesn't mean it should be illegal.

There's no need to prove it's cruel; the fact they cannot consent trumps anything else. I share many libertarian views but this is going a bit far.

I've heard rumors that dogs will have nonconsensual sex with people's legs. What goes around comes around.

And sheesh, consent? Do they consent to be confined and killed for food?

Animals also know that they want to mate with something, preferably a member of their own species of the opposite sex.
I've heard that female cats in heat will act all funny around their owners, like they're waiting for mating to happen. Is that consent?
Some animals can either learn ways on their own, or be trained to communicate intention. My one cat will rub his front paws on someone's leg if he's hungry. If he wants a pet on the head, he holds out his right paw in the air, and spreads out his "fingers" a bit, sort of mimicking the kind of movement he expects out of one of our hands. So, in theory, a cat could communicate consent. I just wouldn't want to have to be the one to figure out a way of doing so.
