hond.gifNo, you did not stumble upon a XXX rated website.

Yesterday a judge in Antwerp set a 37 yo man free who had engaged in sexual activities with countless dogs since 1997. protesting dogs, coutesy of Gaia BelgiumApparently Belgium has no laws regarding sex with animals. The man, an employee at a local animal asylum, was arrested after posting several of his home-made bestiality shots online. However, posting bestiality shots is not legal overhere, so the ‘offender’ was fined 500 EURO (…). The court labeled the man’s behavior “morally repulsive”, but found no legal grounds to convict him, as he had clearly not shown the intention to “inflict physical or emotional damage” upon the dogs under his care. (…)

Gaia, Belgium’s defenders of animal welfare reacted furiously. [Image credit: Gaia]

So, animal lovers worldwide, if you feel like expressing your love for your pet in a more sexual way, just visit Belgium. It’s perfectly legal overhere, as long as you “really love them” ;) [update March 2007: new legislation has made sex with animals a crime in Belgium]

  2. This has added to the ‘discussions’ that Gert and I have about Europeans versus New Zealanders … lol. Did you see ‘De Rechters’ tonight? They almost had Gert on the floor laughing with their comment about it.

    [Comment from the author:"Wish I had seen it Di, I was unfortunately too busy. I guess that most Belgians haven't got a clue when it comes to those specific cultural differences. For us Belgians, New Zealand is just "a great backdrop for movies like Lord of the Rings" - and its inhabitants? Well, they're just like Australians, aren't they? ;)"]

  3. LOL … you know enough about New Zealanders to know how to tease them.

    I can’t bite that hook too hard … my brothers both married Australians and live over there now :)

  8. Obviously suffers from some mental disorder. But for a country to tolerate such activity is what I find even more shocking.

  9. “But for a country to tolerate such activity is what I find even more shocking.”

    Yes, Belgians and the Belgian government tolerates this activity.
    I believe they had a referundum about it the first year a Belgian Government took office. And what do you know, it passed…
    *Rolls eyes*

    [Comment from the author: "Say what? You are claiming 'I believe they [Belgium] had a referendum about it the first year a Belgian Government took office.”
    A referendum about ’sex with animals? in 1830? You must be on drugs :P “]

    animals shouldn’t have to be sexually involved with a person!
    that’s mentally abusing them.
    WTF!!

  13. ROFL! Don’t they say it’s not WHAT you know, Peter, but WHO you know?? *waves at Homeland Security peeps*

  14. It makes women very angry whenever a guy is attracted to anything other than women. Women are selfish and think that men should be chasing after them only. Much of a womans power comes from her attractiveness to men.

    [Blog author comment: "ROFL :P I strongly doubt that you really intended to dump this wisdom here, at this precise blogpost, 'Scott'. Maybe it's an effort to check what gets through my spamfilter, or maybe some people in Wilkes Barre, PA, do have very weird views on women :P "]

  15. It is perfectly legal to have sex with animals in Denmark, as long as its not to offend…

    [Blog author: "Thank you for commenting from Copenhagen. You're absolutely right: it is perfectly legal to have sex with animals in Denmark... Kind of tragic and utterly weird. Animals cannot consent, so I consider it blatant animal abuse."]
