"Animal sex is not illegal in Sweden, and every year between 200 and 300
pets are injured because of sexual assaults," reports the broken-English
service of the Norwegian TV network Nettavisen (quoted verbatim):
The fact that animal sex is becoming an increasing problem can
be indicated by the mere fact that there is an increasing selection
of animal porn at video rentals and there an increasingly number
of websites with animal pornography is surfacing.
No one knows for sure how many animals that are abused, but a
British study from 2001 indicates that every 20th dog or cat that
receives treatment at veterinaries, the injuries are not a result
of a direct accident, but the animal has been inflicted the injury
as a result of a sexual assault.
According to the Swedish paper Expressen, if the same estimate can
be used in Sweden that will indicate that 200 to 300 dogs and cats
every year are injured as a result of sexual assaults.
Is this the result of Sweden being too permissive about sex? Maybe. Animal sex
"was decriminalized in 1944 in connection with the decriminalization of
homosexual sex," Nettavisen reports. On the other hand, Johan Beck-Friis, a
Swedish veterinarian, is quoted as saying, "We have seen an increase since
1999 when child pornography became illegal."
Some people are making fun of America over the Super Bowl breast kerfuffle,
which, Charles Taylor writes in Salon, "might make us even more of a
laughingstock in Europe, where nudity is common on television." Should anyone
really be bothered by being a "laughingstock" to people who didn't think to
outlaw child porn until five years ago?
