DENMARK HAS VOTED to ban bestiality in a bid to crack down on “animal sex tourism”.
Danish MPs voted 91-75 to ban sex with animals, amending laws that only banned the acts where it could be proved that the animal had suffered.
Danish Farms Minister Dan Jørgensen said that the previous legislation didn’t protect animals enough and proving the animal had suffered was difficult.
A 2011 Danish Ministry of Justice report surveyed veterinarians and found 17 per cent of them suspected that an animal they treated had had intercourse with a human.
The vote was welcomed by PETA, who said that they had become concerned that the country had become a hub for tourists who were going to specialised brothels.
Animals must be treated with respect and care and have the right to a high level of protection. When it comes to sexual relations between humans and animals there is a special concern to be taken into account, as the animals cannot consent to enter into a sexual relation with a human being.
“Another concern is that it can be difficult to identify and document possible physical or mental damage to the animal as a result of the sexual relation with a human being.”
The move had been opposed by Denmark’s Animal Ethics Council, who said that the existing laws were strong enough.

People shagging dogs or 75 Danish MP’s being ok with it.

Brendan
I couldn’t get you to stalk someone else for a while could I? There are loads to choose from!!
Brendan you seem to a strange attraction to glen.
Have*
Glen this could be your moment for comments of the week, I know you’ll die happy if this is it! Best of luck!
Brendan
People are starting to talk. Maybe you should take the hint.
Im not alone honey
Hey this article got you right?
fair play to you glen, 600 odd green thumbs, id say that has made your week. Every news article, every hour, every day, glen will be there.
Ok Del, tell us, what’s your opinion on the matter.
Good job glen, you’ve just about made up for the 1500 red thumbs you got in another article awhile back. :)
That’s the whip system for ya……so many tails, unwagged!!
Well that’s just given the expression “given the dog a bone” a whole new meaning… jaysus.
It’s probably sexual lol
And he’ll give you a bone of his own! !!!
“Animal sex tourism”?.Christ almighty, what kind of sickos are out there at all.
I’d say probably the same kind of sickos who fly to south east Asia to have sex with kids.
Exactly and I think if anyone on here really understood the torture and pain these animals go through at the hands of so called ‘human beings’ they would think twice about joking on this topic. Dogs chained up with their legs broken for a start – total sickos who should be locked up.
The fact beastiality was ever legal is very worrying.
A brothel with animals in it??? That’s mad.. Who would pay?? It’s beyond comprehension. I just can’t get my head around it at all.
This is the weirdest thing I’ve ever read.
Some guys just love it ruff.
Woof
Brendan has just about made the most sick comment ever
What women like that shit?
So learn. Point
Sign up to petitions and you can help stop this in other countries too.
It took a petition to actually stop this they fail to mention. They thought this was ok.
They break the dogs legs and tie them at their back. These people deserve to die a severe death and Id watch with popcorn! The animal welfare in most countries is brutal.
I am so glad people are starting to reAlize this. This is still legal in many european countries.
Id urge everyone to sign petitions to try now stop the yearly yulin festival in China. A week of pure slaughter on the streets where they skin,torture,beat and boil them ALIVE for fun. Then again this is an every day event over there. Again these people deserve to die in my view. No loss.
Weird
Not in favour of this sort of thing myself, but how about letting other free democratic counties decide their own laws and policies among themselves? Let’s just worry about our own country and the ones that are not free and democratic.
I can’t believe laws have to be passed to prevent such a thing; must a law be passed here jaysus, tis no wonder the world is gone to the bad!!
91-75 vote?? Is this for real? Really, 75 people think it was ok?
I read somewhere that this happened here a few years ago… I can’t go into details, its horrible, and she died as a result.
Has this world gone mad?
Yes i read that article
When you have to bring in a law against something like this, narrowly passing I might add. It shows the real state of affairs in the world.
Yes Jenni the world is slowly going mad.
So is it illégal in ireland?
The law doesn’t define morality.
Vote No.
Yes, in every county except Longford
No.
Ask your father , he spends an awful lot of time in the cow shed.
Gone I would say.
The cruelty beggars belief.
I`ll never buy Danish bacon again……….
Yes. Bit of an after taste.
Great Danes……sick whelps!!
Jesus Christ wtf is wrong with those people.
Hi Paul,this is typical of The Journal,ignoring the real story here,like how myself and 180 other white males are currently stranded on the tarmac at Düsseldorf Airport,Flight PIGFKR69,outbound to Copenhagen with our itinerary in complete chaos
Outstanding Richard! Bravo!
I feel sick, that’s disgusting… I can’t make eye contact with my dog now.
That’s why the doggy position was invented Rose.

Urgh Stop! Seriously its turning my stomach… Ill give you a thumbs up for embarassing me.
There’s something rotten in the state of Denmark…!!!!!!! Knackbags….!!!!!!
What a disgusting country Denmark is!
Steady on
We are talking about animals here not humans,
Only an animal could contemplate having animal sex.
Vote No.
Yeah that’s a bit mean, 91 out of 166 people over there are still ok!
Good point
I want to marry my dog. Love is love !
Guess that makes me an animal so! Miaow!
On an entirely seperate note, anyone know Ryanair’s refund policy?
Denmark is there something you want to tell us.. Sick fi&€s
@David Fox:
What would Hamlet do?
what about the curragh of Kildare where men are men and sheep are scared
Thought that was the Welsh valleys, James!
I know this is wrong, but I have to ask – before the ban, did they measure the dog’s age to consent on dog years or human years?
What even…
If a woman wants to let a German Shepard jump up on her and play red rocket more power to her.
And people say Ireland is bad
That’s my summer holiday ruined.
Your maaaaaaa the sheep
Wasn’t Denmark recently voted the country with the best quality of life in the world? Makes me wonder how they measured it?
In horse hands?
This made me vomit…
There’s always someone willing to do the dog on it…
That bitch in the foto looks like shes gagging for it lol!!
That is old news. But i new a girl who liked it
Maybe they should just ban dogging.
Thank God for that
Sure don’t the Aussies sing about beastiality?
