I cannot believe this thread has gone on so long.

My brain always seizes up on topics such as this, it refuses to think on them. however
"A man can have sex with animals such as sheeps, cows, camels and so on. However, he should kill the animal after he has his orgasm. He should not sell the meat to the people in his own village; however, selling the meat to the next door village should be fine." Islam

Mental health issues come in many forms

Nothing. How can that be worse than murdering and consuming them? We should prioritize our morals. Some are looking at this from the perspective of the person, which, to me, it seems odd, but it may be natural. But to punish someone for humping a pig or cow, and charging someone to eat it...well, seems a little odd, that's all.

And no, I'm not vegan, but the thought has....

At the very least if caught arrested and name put in at least 1 local paper

Maybe the animals don't complain about having headaches!!

Same consequences as engaging in sexual relations with a minor. The circumstances are very similar. The perpetrator is engaging in sexual acts with an individual who does not possess the cognitive ability to consent or decline to participating in those acts.

We do plenty worse to animals so public ridicule should be enough.
Also add a title after their name stating the crime. And they have to use it or face further punishment. So you'd get job applications from mr John Doe Chickenfucker.

They should face the legal system, especially if the animal has suffered emotional or physical pain as a result. The same as for a human child. It's an unsavoury subject.

Oh man...Emerald! Where did you come up with this one? I don't even want to picture this in My mind. Ugh! IDK....!!! Dont care... yikes!

Turn them into dog food ???

same as if they had sex with children. animals have no way to consent or protest, so they are in a similar position to persons who are under the age of consent.

Katherine wouldn't be as Great and tourism in Tijuana Mexico would drop off significantly.

Same thing that happens to people who rape other people, given that animals are incapable of reasonable consent.

Inter-species erotica

Do you mean beer goggles..when you are drunk at a party...or literally animals?
