Sex with animals - why is it illegal?



I am not into unusual sex of any kind, but I was just reading an
article in the news where a woman was arrested for having sexual
contact with her male horse. She was given a long jail sentence for
this. I really do not understand why a person can get sexually
aroused from an animal, but at the same time, I do not believe that
the law has any right to arrest her for it, particularly put her in
jail. She's not a criminal. She may need help with her mental
health, but then again, maybe she is a perfectly normal person that
just finds herself aroused by animals. After all, male horses do have
quite a large male organ, so I could see a woman getting aroused.

I could understand if the horse belonged to someone else, because that
would be theft, or trespassing, or something like that. But it said
that the horse belongs to her and the act was on her own farm. I
think every person has some unusual traits, an while this is possibly
more unusual than than most traits, so what? Who has the right to
stop her from this, and worse yet place her in jail. I have pets and
while they do not sexually excite me, I do get very attached to them,
and love them. The article said that the horse was not harmed, and
the act was done on her own property, so what's the problem? She
loves her horse, and while she may show it in an unusual way, so what?
What harm was done?

I do think that animal abuse in any manner should be illegal, but I
can not see how a woman playing with her horses penis could be abuse
to the animal. Actually, the horse probably loved the attention. If
the horse was really bothered by it, she would have gotten a good kick
and the end of the story.

Even if a man was to have intercourse with a female horse, the horse
is not going to get pregnant, so whats the problem? Doing such acts
with small animals like a small dog or cat could harm the animal, so
that's a different matter. But doing it with large animals, whether a
horse, cow, sheep, or whatever just does not seem like its harming
anything. Yes, it's repulsive (at least to me), but I also find
homosexuality repulsive, yet these days homosexuals are being
protected and given more rights than others (except for gay marriage).
Yet, at the same time, gay sex is still illegal in many states, even
if it's not enforced. In my opinion, who has a right to determine
what is normal sex, and what is not, and then prosecute a person for
it. Having sex with a child SHOULD be illegal, based on the age and
inability to consent. But sex with the same sex, or sex with animals
(as long as done without harm to the animal) should not be illegal.
America is supposed to be a free country, yet we are legally limited
to having sex with only other humans and only members of the opposite
sex, who must be over the age of 18. WHY?
Why can't we be able to make our own choices? Is that not what
freedom means? I find these laws very limiting to my freedom of
choice, and in some regards, it seems to me that allowing persons to
have sex with animals or the same sex will eliminate some of the worse
perversions, abortions and unwanted pregnancies.

What is sick and repulsive to one is normal for others. I dont need
the govt. to determine my morals.....

America is NOT free !!!!
They are just lying to all of us.
