the subject is brought up every once in a while in the public debate, but the council of ethics, which is poo poo and should be abolished, keeps trotting out the "as long as the animal doesn't suffer" defense. her story is really sad  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bodil_Joensen quote:The daughter of a devout Christian mother and an absentee military father, Joensen grew up in the Copenhagen suburb of Hundige. Her mother was often physically abusive, sometimes violently so, and would whip her. At the age of 12, she was possibly raped by a stranger in a railway station — her Danish biography and 1980s interview say that they "just talked" or that she was "nearly raped", but her mother believed she had been actually raped. On returning home to tell her mother, she was beaten and blamed for the incident. Seeking a means to retaliate, she vowed to her mother that when she grew up she would have sex with boars, commenting in interview that her mother was "so shocked, she thought I was allied to the Devil". Turning to animals for affection, her dog became her best friend, companion and lover, and she wore a locket with his picture for the rest of her life.

ArbitraryC posted:How is that not a reasonable defense or really the only metric worth considering? If the animal doesn't suffer what exactly is the crime? Animal cruelty laws already ban everything you need to ban. because animals should be more than fucktoys for humans. also you can spread dangerous, sometimes resistant pathogens around doing it, i'd imagine - even working with pigs can give you MRSA, for example. it's hella gross also. hth

ArbitraryC posted:But animals should be toys and food for humans? It's not like I'm arguing from the standpoint that I'd like it to be legal for me to gently caress animals, I think it's gross too. I just don't like the idea of legislating morality. There are already animal cruelty laws in effect that make it illegal to harm animals (well without cause at least) so when it comes to examples that don't harm the animal there's really no reason to ban it other than because people think it's icky, which I'm against on principle. so what you're saying is that you're morally... inept?
