frequently traumatized by men who sneak into barns, or fields at night, to ravish the sheep and
other animals. Animal rights groups are alarmed that dogs, and even cats, are being adopted from
shelters for the purpose of exploiting them sexually.

Nor is this behavior simply an European problem. The American Family Association, a Christian
political action organization, asked for a boycott of Sears last year because this American retailer
was selling sexually erotic books and materials on their website. Two of the books that the AFA
listed were “Dearest Pet, On Bestiality” and “Bestiality and Zoophilia: Sexual Relations with
Animals.” This latter book is reportedly a “how-to” manual for those wanting to have sexual
relations with animals. Sears withdrew this material from their website for a period of two
months, but has since re-listed it.

In the United States, there are no federal laws banning sex between humans and animals. The
only federal law to prohibit zoophilia was found in the Uniform Code of Military Justice in the
United States Armed Forces, which banned sodomy. Now that sodomy has been declared legal,
bestiality is also unrestricted by the federal government. Traditionally, it has been left to the
individual states to determine what is declared to be indecent, immoral, and harmful sexual
behavior. Almost all of the states have had laws on the books banning sexual intercourse with
animals, even as they had laws prohibiting sodomy. In recent years a trend has developed among
the states to repeal existing statutes that criminalized zoophilia. Bestiality is now legal in the
following states:

Alabama - Bestiality decriminalized in 1980
Hawaii - Bestiality decriminalized in 1973
Kentucky - No laws were ever enacted to criminalize this behavior.
Montana - Bestiality decriminalized in 1997
Nevada - Bestiality decriminalized in 1993
New Hampshire - Bestiality decriminalized in 1975
New Jersey - Bestiality decriminalized in 1979
New Mexico - Bestiality decriminalized in 1975
Ohio - Bestiality decriminalized in 1974
Texas - Bestiality decriminalized in 1974
Vermont - Bestiality decriminalized in 1977
Virginia - Bestiality decriminalized this year, on March 21, 2013
West Virginia - Bestiality decriminalized in 1976
Wyoming - Bestiality decriminalized in 1977

The Bible declares that when Christ returns the world will be in a condition similar to the days of
Noah. Of that day we are told:

Genesis 6:5
Then Yahweh saw that the wickedness of man was great on the earth, and that every intent of the
thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.
