BESTIALITY BAN BRINGS SWEDEN IN LINE WITH REST OF EUROPE 06/20/2013

In January 2014 the act of having sex with an animal in Sweden will become illegal, the government announced last week. Until now bestiality was only illegal if cruelty to the animal could be proven and it had been subjected to suffering. The bestiality ban brings Sweden in line with European Union directives and will be punishable by a fine and maximum two-year prison sentence. A similar ban was introduced in Germany last December, where bestiality had been legal since 1969, causing outcry at the time among one pro-zoophilia campaign group.

Activism

Animals deserve rights, regardless of how they taste or how convenient it is to experiment on them. Like humans, animals are capable of suffering and have an interest in leading their own lives. They are not ours to use for food, clothing, experimentation, or entertainment.

As an activist, you can educate people in your community and positively affect their attitudes and lifestyles. You just need the desire to generate positive change and to believe that your voice and actions matter...
