all that “bestiality is legal” or “necrophilia is legal” means is that the state never passed a law against it. My state, for instance, didn’t have a law against bestiality until 2006, because the matter had never come up until then. That doesn’t mean** the entire state was a free-for-all of people engaging in acts of wanton carnality with the population of old mcdonald’s farm **- it simply came to pass that a rather high-profile case of a man dying as the result of sex with a horse resulted in people realizing there wasn’t a law, and pushing to create one.
