There have been a few blogs written concerning bestiality of late. One such article, written by our very own British wacko believes that animals need a “special” police to protect their sexual rights.
Animals have little in the way of sexual rights, simply because they really cant tell us what they want, what they need, and how they feel.
This separates humans from animals. But you may ask, what about infant children. In response to that I say: I feel quite in tuned to the emotions, wants and needs of infant children, simply because I have been one. I believe these understandings are quite intrinsic to humankind. I cannot say the same of animals.
Besides, infant children have their parents who are responsible for their well being until theses kids can speak their own feelings. Animals have their parents as well, but unfortunately, the parents of animals can communicate with people no better than their offspring.
So, as human beings, we afford basic rights to all creatures that protect them from physical harm. However, we cannot offer animals protection from mental issues, simply because we do not know how or what animals are thinking, nor can they tell us what is bothering them. This is why as a human being, we cannot determine with any certainty that an animal that has copulated with a human has been raped or otherwise.
Simply put, we cannot convict a person of rape, if we are uncertain that a victim exists. We see this often in “date” rape cases of people.
So really, outside of basic rights protecting animals from acts of cruelty, we can afford them no more “human” rights.
Some day animals may have their own courts to adjudicate these matters for themselves, and communicate their findings to their human masters. But until that day comes, we can afford them little more than the courtesies we offer animals at the present.
Additionally, we have many human issues that require policing, and since the tax payers already pay for various “Animal Control” authorities, it’s simply absurd to waste more protecting animals from a situation we are quite unaware of.
Please care for your animals. They are your responsibility, and there is no reason to cause unnecessary suffering to any living thing.
