That's the whole two (or more) consenting adults thing. If the arguments is "I can do anything with an animal I want to, as long as it doesn't feel pain and/or I'm 'humane' about it," then I would stipultate that this is not quite the truth. There are animal cruelty laws, particularly because they can't give legal consent, in so far as I know. As a society, we've allowed killing them for feeding purposes, I'm guessing because we view it as necessary for the most part. I don't think the same can be said for sexual congress with a horse. I don't think you can extend this argument to directly say that anything that is not strictly utilitarian for human existence is illegal - but I'm guessing that the question of whether its needed for our existence is a pretty important factor in how we shape our ethics around it.
Or maybe I'm wrong. I just had a girl I've been talking to sort of pitter out. I guess I'll feel better if I get all liquored up tonight and take my neighbor's dog for a little trip around the world. Thanks TFP for making my dissociated canine masturbation session feel A-OK
/seriously, have a nice weekend all. I'm out.
