Something REALLY rotten in Denmark: Animal bordellos
From our "Precipitous Decline and Fall" dept.Denmark's animal bordellos reportedly draw Norwegian clients, but both countries have loopholes that make such establishments legal. Loopholes in the stalls is more like it. Neither Denmark nor Norway has a prohibition on sex with animals, as long as the animals do not suffer. This quaint Anglo-Saxon notion of informed consent apparently does not apply there. On the Internet Danish animal owners advertise openly that they offer sex with animals, without intervention from police or other authorities, Danish newspaper 24timer reports. Danish ham for Christmas? Think twice! In correspondence with the animal owners, the newspaper was told that the animals involved have many years of experience and that the animals themselves wanted sex. The cost to the client varied from DKK 500-1,000 (USD 85-170). Duct tape for hamsters extra. The Norwegian Food Safety Authority's section chief for animal welfare, Torunn Knævelsrud, could not rule out that such a bordello could be legal here as well. "It is difficult to say yes or no," Knævelsrud told Aftenposten.no. Try this, Torunn: HELL NO! Guess not. As long as basics like shelter, feed and care are in place, and injury or suffering to the animal can not be documented, there are no other ways to attack an animal bordello under existing Norwegian law. "It could be that the animals don't really care," Knævelsrud said. "We have no letters of complaint from them, after all." "But I think it is in the nature of the case that animals will often be victims of injury, stress or suffering in connection with sexual acts with humans. Either that they are held fast, or frightened, or suffer pain or physical injury," Knævelsrud said. A new Norwegian Animal Protection Act is underway and there have been proposals, from the Norwegian Animal Welfare Alliance among others, that sexual intercourse with animals must be forbidden. Unless you are an animal, of course. "The acts provoke moral disgust. The question is whether immorality should be made illegal. The FSA group discussing the new animal protection act has been in disagreement about this," Knævelsrud said. According to the 24timer report, Germans, Dutchmen, Swedes and Norwegians visit the Danish bordellos, and a web site devoted to bestiality claimed that many of Denmark's animal sex clients stem from Norway. Vitamin D deficiency? Too much fish oil? A farmer who sells animal sex said he is extremely surprised that foreigners are ready to travel so far for it. "But the clients tell us that it is much simpler to buy animal sex in Denmark than in their own country," a horse owner from Nord-Jylland told the newspaper. It's probably easy to find here in Texas, too. The hard part would be staying out of jail. A new dissertation from the Institute of Criminology at the University of Oslo showed that Norwegian veterinarians know of at least 124 cases of animal sex abuse in Norway. The thesis reports that 22 percent of Norwegian veterinarians suspect or are sure that they have treated animals that have been sexually abused by humans. When AIDS was first traced to monkeys, comedian George Carlin asked, "OK, who's been f***ing the monkeys?" I think we have our answer. Posted by: Atomic Conspiracy 2006-11-23 |
