Which is worse? Consensual intercourse with minor humans, or sexual intercourse with mature animals? It’s assumed neither are able to give informed consent.
I ask this because recently a guy around here went to prison for a number of years for consensual intercourse with his girlfriend—he was 19, she was 16—but in the SAME court session another guy was find $500 for fucking his goat (who I assume did NOT care for it. Had the goat come forward and said “Hey, I led him on!” I’d have different thoughts.)
My first reaction is that any abuse of a human is worse than an abuse of an animal. But on the other hand, I don’t think a 19-year-old having consensual sex with a 16-year-old is abuse.
So in this situation, I would say the goat fucker is the more rotten of the two.
Yeah. And it’s not speciesism. It’s that animals, having lower intelligence, are less likely to have psychological ramifications. A guy fucks Rover and Rover may limp, but he’s probably going to completely forget about it within a couple of days.
It’s one of the drawbacks of increased intelligence–an increased potential for unhappiness.
Those fences can be mighty tricky. First you think you’re clever, because you managed to get the goat stuck in the fence, and before you know it, you’ve pushed the goat all the way out, and now, you’re stuck in the fence. Then the cops arrive, and they don’t even believe your story about how you were rescuing the goat from being stuck, using only a tub of Vaseline to help the animal slip out, and your penis, which was the only tool within reach.
Then they tell you that if it happens for a fourth time, they’ll put my picture in the paper. But I’m innocent I tells ya.
It’s erroneous to say that a minor human is not capable of giving informed consent to sex. There’s nothing magical that happens to a person on their 17th birthday that suddenly allows them to understand sex.
I looked it up in Michigan (where I live), and 16 is old enough for consent in general. 13 to 15, the allowable spread is 5 years, so even if the acts occurred a year or two earlier, it would have been legal.
Although an animal cannot give “informed consent,” clearly there is a difference, from an ethical standpoint, between different acts of bestiality. Restraining and raping a chihuahua is obviously far worse than convincing a German Shepherd to penetrate a human. If the animal enjoys the activity, who am I to judge?
Although obviously yes, I will judge the human as a creepy sicko in either case, because if you keep your mind too open, anything could get in!
I’m not in favor of bestiality, but why should consent enter into the reasoning? Animals don’t have to consent to any of the other things we use them for, either. Nah, it should be a crime because it’s fucking sick, that’s why.
