If you were to have sex with an animal, it is considered both illegal because of beastiality laws and illegal as animal abuse. Entering into a marriage with an animal would really do nothing as you already have visitation rights and such being their owner. As having children with a dog is impossible, childrens rights would not come up (that also applies to inatimate objects and dead people).

And why can't you marry property? Isn't the case that you can't marry property simply because the law states that you can't? Doesn't the law also state that marriage is between one man and one woman? So if you're changing the law on one part, why can't you change the law on the other part too? It seems like you're arguing the sanctity of the law (which states no marriage to property) on one part, and the non-sanctity of the law (which states no marriage between same-sex couples) on the other part. Isn't that a contradiction in your argument?
