{{Sex and the law}}
'''[[Legality of Bestiality by Country|Legality of bestiality by country]] or territory''' concerns the laws governing humans performing sex acts with non-human animals. Laws against humans performing sex acts on animals, where they exist, are concerned with the actual act, which it commonly refers to as ''[[bestiality]]'', rather than the sexual attraction to animals. For this reason, prohibitions of zoophilic pornography are more varied; they may be unlawful if an actual sex act with an animal is involved, but the status is not clear-cut if there is a mere representation, such as a painting or cartoon. In that case, normal [[obscenity law]]s will normally apply. All [[Animal pornography|zoophilic imagery]] is widely regarded as [[pornography]].

== Political parties ==

On 21 April 2015, the [[Liberal Alliance (Denmark)|Liberal Alliance]] was the only party in the Danish [[Folketing]] to oppose and vote against banning bestiality, while the [[Red-Green Alliance (Denmark)|Red-Green Alliance]] abstained. Liberal Alliance MP [[Joachim Olsen]] said about the bill: "Best case, this is a superficial law. Worst case, it is political populism and moralism".<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.thelocal.dk/20150225/denmarks-bestiality-ban-moves-forward|title=Denmark's bestiality ban moves forward|date=25 February 2015|website=www.thelocal.dk|language=en-GB|access-date=29 May 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171106152515/https://www.thelocal.dk/20150225/denmarks-bestiality-ban-moves-forward|archive-date=6 November 2017|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.thelocal.dk/20150421/denmark-officially-bans-bestiality|title=Denmark officially bans bestiality|date=21 April 2015|website=www.thelocal.dk|language=en-GB|access-date=29 May 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170914172855/https://www.thelocal.dk/20150421/denmark-officially-bans-bestiality|archive-date=14 September 2017|url-status=live}}</ref>

== Organizations ==

Denmark's Animal Ethics Council opposed banning bestiality in Denmark in 2006 and 2015, saying existing laws which allow bestiality except in cases where the animal can be proved to have suffered were enough.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.cbsnews.com/news/denmark-outlaws-bestiality-in-narrow-vote/|title=Denmark outlaws bestiality in narrow vote|website=www.cbsnews.com|language=en-US|access-date=29 May 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190529114403/https://www.cbsnews.com/news/denmark-outlaws-bestiality-in-narrow-vote/|archive-date=29 May 2019|url-status=live}}</ref><ref name="dkjusticeanimalrights">[http://www.justitsministeriet.dk/fileadmin/downloads/Dyrevaernsraad/Udtalelser_og_tilhoerende_pressemeddelelser/Udtalelse_om_menneskers_seksuelle_omgang_med_dyr__november_2006_.pdf Det Dyreetiske Råd: Udtalelse om menneskers seksuelle omgang med dyr] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120312163226/http://www.justitsministeriet.dk/fileadmin/downloads/Dyrevaernsraad/Udtalelser_og_tilhoerende_pressemeddelelser/Udtalelse_om_menneskers_seksuelle_omgang_med_dyr__november_2006_.pdf |date=12 March 2012}}, ''The Animal Ethics Council: Statement on the sexual relations of humans with animals''</ref>

== Objectives ==
Laws on bestiality tend to be shaped by animal welfare concerns, moral views, and cultural beliefs. In many cultures, humans are seen as fundamentally different from other animals and having sex with animals is seen as defilement.<ref name="sciamer">{{cite web|url=http://www.scientificamerican.com/article.cfm?id=animal-lovers-zoophiles-make-scient-2010-03-24|title=Hubby does it doggy style|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20050203183132/http://www.news24.com/News24/Backpage/Crime_Court/0%2C%2C2-1343-1345_1655555%2C00.html|archivedate=3 February 2005|url-status=dead|df=}}</ref>

One of the primary critiques of bestiality is that it is harmful to animals and necessarily abusive, because animals are unable to give or withhold consent.<ref name=Regan63>Regan, Tom. ''Animal Rights, Human Wrongs''. Rowman & Littlefield, 2003, pp. 63–4, 89.</ref>

== Background ==
=== International differences ===
Some jurisdictions list laws very clearly, such as [[England and Wales]], which specifically prohibits penetration of a human being by the penis of an animal, and penetration of an animal by a human's penis.<ref name="UKlaw69">{{cite web |url=http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2003/42/section/69 |title=Sexual Offences Act 2003, Section 69 |work=HM Government |year=2003 |accessdate=13 July 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140828030316/http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2003/42/section/69 |archive-date=28 August 2014 |url-status=live}}</ref>

By contrast, many countries and US states are less precise about the scope of law in that they outlaw sex with animals, without defining what constitutes "sex".

Even if bestiality is not explicitly prohibited, there are often many other laws which can be used to effectively prosecute cases. For example, most countries have [[cruelty to animals|animal cruelty]] laws, and a prosecutor will argue that all [[zoophilia]] activity is animal abuse.<ref>The argument that "all sexual activity with animals is automatically abuse" was made for example, in 1) the 2004 case of [http://pet-abuse.com/cases/2206/FL/US/1 State vs. Mitchell] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060716203106/http://pet-abuse.com/cases/2206/FL/US/1 |date=16 July 2006}} (Florida), 2) the 2004 Pony case in Utrecht, Holland (cited below), and 3) the 2006 Washington state law which asserts as its foundational premise that "animal cruelty in the first degree is committed when a person knowingly engages in sexual conduct or sexual contact with an animal." [http://washingtonvotes.org/2006-SB-6417 SB-6417 2006] </ref> In some U.S. states, a person who engages in bestiality can be charged with animal cruelty.<ref name="shelby">{{cite web |url=http://www.10tv.com/content/stories/2011/06/16/story-shelby-man-charged-with-animal-abuse-sex.html |title=Man Charged With Sexually Abusing Animals |work=WBNS-10TV |date=16 June 2011 |accessdate=13 July 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140714152651/http://www.10tv.com/content/stories/2011/06/16/story-shelby-man-charged-with-animal-abuse-sex.html |archive-date=14 July 2014 |url-status=live}}</ref>

=== Prohibitions without specific bestiality statutes ===
Some countries have a range of laws on their books. Sometimes [[sodomy law]]s or "[[crime against nature]]" laws are used to prosecute people who have sex with animals.

In the case of [[Kenneth Pinyan]], who died from injuries sustained from receiving anal sex from a [[horse]], local law enforcement found that there were no laws that allowed them to prosecute his friend, who had filmed the event and also allowed himself to be sodomized by the horse. The friend was prosecuted for trespassing. That case prompted the Washington State legislature to draw up legislation outlawing sex with animals.<ref name="thestranger">{{cite news|url=http://www.thestranger.com/seattle/Content?oid=30811|accessdate=30 April 2006|title=The Animal In You|publisher=The Stranger|date=February–March 2006|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060411073145/http://www.thestranger.com/seattle/Content?oid=30811|archive-date=11 April 2006|url-status=live}}</ref>

In a 2005 [[Florida]] case, a man who had sex with his dog was charged with disorderly conduct, since the state had no anti-bestiality laws on the books at the time.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.guidehorse.org/news_guide_dog_abuse.htm |title=Man charged with having intercourse with his Guide Dog |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20080521055021/http://www.guidehorse.org/news_guide_dog_abuse.htm |archivedate=21 May 2008}}</ref> On 1 October 2011, the state of Florida State Law 828.126, F.S went into effect, banning sex with animals.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.flsenate.gov/Session/Bill/2011/0344/BillText/er/PDF |title=Section 828.126, Florida Statutes |work=The Florida Senate |year=2011 |accessdate=13 July 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130408134821/http://www.flsenate.gov/Session/Bill/2011/0344/BillText/er/PDF |archive-date=8 April 2013 |url-status=live}}</ref>

== Laws against sex with animals ==
Aggrawal has discussed extensively on laws against bestiality.<ref name="aggrawal">{{cite book |first=Anil |last=Aggrawal |title=Forensic and Medico-legal Aspects of Sexual Crimes and Unusual Sexual Practices |publisher=[[CRC Press]] |location=Boca Raton |year=2009 |isbn=978-1-4200-4308-2 |url=http://crcpress.com/product/isbn/9781420043082 |access-date=9 August 2009 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100210072056/http://crcpress.com/product/isbn/9781420043082 |archive-date=10 February 2010 |url-status=live}}</ref> It is permitted in a few countries although ordinary animal treatment laws apply.

There are also commonly laws against forcing another person to engage in sexual activity with other animals, especially minors (usually considered equivalent to [[rape]]), and laws related to exposing others (either non-consensually or minors) to the sight of a sexual act. In some jurisdictions, laws against zoophilia conduct also include provisions for seizure of animals where convicted.

== Zoophilic pornography ==
{{Main|Animal pornography}}
The legality of pornography has three components: legality of production, legality of sale and transportation, and legality of ownership. In general, animal pornography is legal to produce where both zoophilic activity and the creation of pornography in general are legal. Laws concerning sale, transmission and ownership vary more widely.

Erotic art, such as animal pornography in cartoons and the like, which does not require the recording of an actual sexual act, are not usually considered sex with animals by the law, and so their status depends upon more general laws such as legal limits upon obscenity or pornography alone, and the thin line between erotic art and pornography.

== National laws ==
Laws affecting [[zoophile|zoophilic]] activities vary across different countries and other sub-national jurisdictions. In general, these laws regulate performing or receiving [[sexual activity]] from non-human animals, or the sale, distribution, and ownership of [[zoophilic pornography]].

On Feb. 9, 2023 a change in the bill created controversy that bestiality was considered legal. This has been proved false. The bill was amended: All sexual acts with animals will be punishable. In the event that they produce injuries, they will be considered crimes; in the rest – less serious offenses – they will be classified as abuse without visible signs of injury (maltrato de obra).

== Mentions in the press ==

* [[Wisconsin, USA]] (2007) - Bryan James Hathaway was convicted for having sex with a dead deer. The court case raised some interesting legal issues because the statute prohibits sex with animals, but not carcasses. The defence raised the issue that if a dead animal was an animal, at what point would it cease to be an animal. He was sentenced to 6 months probation and labeled as a sex offender.<ref>{{cite news|last=Haines|first=Lester|title=Sex with dead deer is illegal, US man finds|url=https://www.theregister.co.uk/2007/03/22/deer_man_convicted/|newspaper=The Register|date=22 March 2007|access-date=10 August 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170810140349/https://www.theregister.co.uk/2007/03/22/deer_man_convicted/|archive-date=10 August 2017|url-status=live}}</ref>
