Sneaky Germans
This week I was pointed in the direction of a news article by the BBC. Apparently the Germans are up to their old tricks again!
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-20523950
They're trying to make bestiality illegal! Germany legalised bestiality (zoophilia) in 1969, except when the animal suffered "significant harm", and now they're trying to take it away. Luckily Michael Kiok, the chairman of the pressure group "Zoophile Engagement for Tolerance and Information (Zeta)", said he was going to take legal action to fight the proposed changes.
"It is unthinkable that any sexual act with an animal is punished without proof that the animal has come to any harm," he said, adding that animals are capable of showing what they do, or do not, want to do. "We see animals as partners and not as a means of gratification. We don't force them to do anything. Animals are much easier to understand than women," Mr Kiok claimed.
Mr Kiok then demonstrated with the use of some bacon, a 13 year old Alsatian and some very flexible moves, that you can indeed teach an old dog new tricks.
Apparently they tried to ban it back in 1992 but the line between what is, and what isn't bestiality can be quite thin. The German Minister for Alternative Scenarios (Deutsch Minister für alternative Szenarien, DMAS) is a position set aside to challenge the boundaries between legal and illegal. In 2001 the conversation between the German Chancellor (GC) and the DMAS went like this:
DMAS: "What about Richard Gere and the Hamster, was that bestiality?"
GC: "Well of course it was!!"
DAMS: "He didn't 'enter' the Hamster, in fact he didn't touch the Hamsters parts at all!"
GC: "This isn't about touching animal parts."
DMAS: "OK, take this scenario. You're walking through the park,"
GC: "Yes Go on.."
DMAS: "and a large dog, maybe a Great Dane, rips off your undies and has sex with you. Is that bestiality?"
GC: "No. That's dog assault isn't it?"
DMAS: "OK, well what if, quite unexpectedly, you enjoyed it?"
GC: "And it was just a one off?"
DMAS: "If you like?"
GC: "Mr DMAS, you make a very compelling argument. Lets all agree that this is simply a very difficult decision to make and lets not approach the subject again for another 20 years"
And here we are. Doesn't time fly?
