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 [[wikipedia:Obscenity\|obscenity]] laws will normally apply.

The court case raised some interesting legal issues because the statute prohibits sex with animals, but not carcasses.
