“Neither Denmark nor Norway has a prohibition on sex with animals, as long as the animals do not suffer. 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. 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)… 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. ‘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. 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.” — Aftenposten (Norway)

There has been another surge of bestiality stories lately. There was the recidivist horse molestor, a man who had been banned from “every field in Britain” but was caught at a horse stable. There was the husband who surprised his pregnant wife with a dog. No doubt she’ll offer some hormone-flux defense. But good lord, you hate to get that image in your head — dog semen squirting onto the cranium of a little baby in the womb.

Of all the recent bestiality stories, though, this one about animal bordellos certainly offers the most to think about. Animal bordellos, you might wonder. Do they really exist? Evidently so. You may recall that in the notorious Enumclaw case, in which a man was fucked to death by a horse, there were accusations that the farm where this unfortunate event occurred served as a horse brothel of sorts. And in this new story, an undercover reporter actually sought out an animal bordello in Denmark. There’s a picture of the reporter inspecting a horse with the caption: “Here a Danish animal owner offers his horse to a Danish journalist claiming to be interested in animal sex.”

What you make of an animal bordello most likely depends not on what you think of bordellos but on what you think of sex with animals. Bestialists claim that they don’t injure animals and that, in many cases, the animals fully enjoy the sexual contact they have with humans. In Norway and Denmark, the governments don’t agree so much as they feel that, so long as the animals are fed, sheltered, and unharmed, they have no jurisdiction to intervene. It’s a reasonable position to take, even if bestiality may revolt you personally.

Then again, there is room for debate when it comes to deciding what does or doesn’t injure an animal. This news story quotes a Norwegian official in charge of animal welfare who says that “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.” Stress? Fear? It’s as though he’s saying that animals can have psychological damage as a result of the physical acts in which they may engage. No doubt bestialists will respond that just as much stress and fear may come from watching other animals slaughtered, or from being whipped or conditioned to work, and so forth. Really it’s a tricky question. Do animals have psyches? If a dog or a horse does, can you say the same of a chicken or a turtle? Or is this all just anthropomorphism, a projection of human qualities onto our furry friends?
