Erotic Zoos Prompt Germany To Reinstate Bestiality Laws

It turns out "erotic zoos" are tough to ignore.
The Daily Telegraph reports that bestiality laws have been off the books in Germany [ http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/news/world/germany-to-ban-sex-with-animals-report/story-fnddckzi-1226524544281 ] since 1969, but Agriculture Minister Ilse Aigner has agreed to support a law that would make it illegal for people to "use (animals) for their own sexual activities or sexual acts of third parties." The proposed law would also ban the "pimping" of animals to others.
The proposed legislation has ruffled the feathers of zoophilia advocates such as Michael Kiok, who told the German newspaper die Tageszeitung [ http://www.taz.de/Novelle-des-Tierschutzgesetzes/%21106177/ ] that "mere morals have no place in law."
