I’m sorry, but given that the deer was dead, wasn’t this guy basically fucking a piece of venison?

Not that that makes it morally okay and I’m sure there are some indecent exposure type charges that apply, but the deer doesn’t care anymore, which is the point of bestiality laws

Just a little tender tenderizing.

which is the point of bestiality laws

If that were true our laws around meat farming would be very different

Clever. I wish I’d gotten a serious discussion out of this, but that’s the community.

But his comment is relevant the toppic.

Modern industrial famring utilizes forced insemination with a tool operated by a human.

A reasonable person could argue that it's not sexual assault becuase the act was not for sextial gratification, but purely utilitarian in order to obtain a baby cow, disregarding the welfare of the cow.

In other words, whether an act is sexual assault or not depends on the intentions of the actor, regardless of the experience of the subject and physical nature of the act.

If you fill in "human" as your subject in the above formula, a reasonable person could conclude that the experience of the subject does, infact, matter.

A serious discussion about the ethics of bestiality? If that's the kind of place you're looking for I think you might have to create it yourself.

I don’t think I have the moderating skills, lol.
