You could always tell the judge you didn't enjoy it one bit ;)

Oklahoma, being a conservative stronghold is quite oppressive to alternate lifestyles. As such I wouldnt be surprised if it carried a hefty fine and jail time, much like my prior home state, Massachusetts where you could go to jail for I think 20 years and face a 10K fine... ick! all for loving a four legger!? doesnt make sense does it that someone committing murder might face less... Laws guided by biblical morality alone suckass (not in a good way either.)

Just because there are no specific law to demarcate Zooplilia as a punishable offense, I would not say it is legal. 99% of the countries either have laws against Beasilality or dont have any specific laws against zooplilia but if caught in the act would still punish.

Now, who are all the people from country/state that doesn't belong to the above two categories and lay stress saying that Zoophilia is legal .

I fall within the mentioned category but in a little different way. I am from India where zoophilia is unheard of so unless I or some other zoo is caught in the act, there would be no laws for the same.

It's legal here. Having sex with animals here will not get you arrested. Perhaps for trespassing when you're fencehopping or similar small crimes, but the actual act is legal and is not seen as animal abuse either. The government has had plans to change this and make it illegal, but thankfully, they seem to have bigger issues at the moment than banning zoophilia.

If it is legal as you say you are one of those luck few, I really hope that it stays that way. But in a way I feel some people take advantage of this to molest the animals, I really think such people must be put behind bars it is because of people like this that laws are made against true zoos like us who love their animal beyond just sex.

You will be glad to know that it has been legal (no law against) in Texas for a couple of years now and absolutely nothing has changed. I doubt it every will because the real prohibitions are social not legal.

This where the US Constitution is nice to have around. Any government official trying to punish someone without both a specific law and a good case against the specific individual would be in deep trouble. In the case that overturned Texas' sodomy law, the US Supreme Court said that absent provable harm what individuals do in private is not the government's business.

This where it gets sticky. If you mean people that harm animals physically, there are quite enough cruelty laws on the books now and yes, those laws should be used. If you are talking about people that simply screw animals and take normal care of them, how do you expect an outside observer to tell the difference between us? Giving that kind of discretion to a cop is a recipe for disaster and such a law would likely fail its first court challenge.

Well been looking after it for a way long time but for such a small country as Belgium ;) I think they would classify it under sodomy and you might get a slap on the wrist or get some counselling but never heared of people being locked away at all which is a relief.

Still can't believe that you can 15 years of jail in some countries for loving your animals :blink: I mean, it's better to accuse someone of being a zoo then charging him with munder to screw someone. Retards <_< those are some medieval countries

I am of the view that zoophilia is more of a social taboo in every country than a legal issue. Even in places where there are no specific rules against beastiality it is a big social taboo. Only when zoophilia is accepted (atleast to some reasonable extent) socially and legally can zoos like us who love the animals beyond just sex can be differentiated from the ones who molest the animals.

In New South Wales, Australia (IE Sydney) the maximum penalty is 14 years. Interestingly, 'attempted' bestiality carries a maximum penalty of 5 years. Quite what one would have to specifically do to be charged with attempted bestiality (as opposed to an actual bestial act) mystifies me. In Australia there's no federal law covering bestiality or zoophilia, which means in Canberra it's legal, but in Sydney it's not.

In Melbourne, (Victoria State) the sentence is only 5 years, but you'll end up on the sexual offender registar, as it's a Class 2 sexual offense - the same class as indecent assault of a child. Yeah that's balanced.. not.

The creation of beastial pornography in Tasmania carries a 2 year penality, the same as the creation of child abuse related material. Animal sex is referred to as "Unnatural sexual intercourse" and is covered by the "Crimes against morality" section of the Crimes act. How ...Tasmanian. This is the place where blasphemy is actually still an official crime.

In Western Australia (Perth) the offence is buggery with an animal, and the penalty's 10 years.

This one I like for its frankness, from the Northern Territory's Crimes Act.

138. Bestiality

Any person who inserts, to any extent, the person's penis into the genital passage or anus of an animal or permits an animal to insert its penis into the person's vagina or anus is guilty of a crime and is liable to imprisonment for 3 years.

...so you can blow your dog in Darwin, but if he fucks you, you'll do 3 years. The logic of these things is *completely* lost on me..

In Queensland, the law is simply that "A person must not have sexual intercourse with an animal, penalty 7 years".

Here in Canada BC it is 14 Years sadly

Havnt been here for a long time due to PC not working, but In the UK the maximum you can get for bestiality is 2 years. But it you would probably be charged with animal abuse etc aswell.

Here there is no law about this. Its not illegal but its not legal too. No one, i think for now, has been sentenced about having sex with animals, just because the police dont care.

p.s excuse my english, i try...

In North Dalota it's a feloney 10yrs. and or $10,000 fine. they say its the same a molesting. I think thats realy fucked up

It's not illegal in Colorado, but they can still jail you on animal abuse
charges. It's strange that in cases of real animal abuse (which happens
here more than it should), those people just get a slap on the wrist.
Go figure.

That sickens me, too. Killing a dog is in most countries a lesser offence than having sex with one.
