selectively and hypocritically empathise with animals when they feel like it.

For your information, I'm also against cock fighting, experimentations, and not swiftly killing an animal that is going to be turned into a meal.

why did they need a law making bestiality illegal for US soldiers in the first place?

Can understand the part on sodomy as homosexuals are allowed to serve..
but bestiality ???? I dont even want to know on that one...
maybe they should give the troops some leave time if animals are starting to look good to them...
*note to pet owners and farmers worldwide* lock up your pets to keep them safe..

Your rant sounds more like a defence for "anel sex" then how stupid we are not to have read the bill and understood it the way you have.
What happen here was that people got so grossed out about a reg in the UCMJ restricting beasteality that the debate just went to that in stead of debating the letter of the bill and why they repealed it for the now openly gay military.

And I can't stand people who assume that this is what is going on in this thread.
The topic is bestiality, so I'm going to offer my opinion on just this.
For your information, I'm also against cock fighting, experimentations, and not swiftly killing an animal that is going to be turned into a meal. I was simply sticking with the topic and not bringing up all the other atrocities that humans subject onto animals.
Offenders are listed when they “have been convicted of a "criminal offense against a victim who is a minor" or a "sexually violent offense," as explained in the Jacob Wetterling Crimes Against Children and Sexually Violent Offender Registration Act. However, it does not explicitly rule out offenses against animals.
Officers investigating a large quantity of blood at his apartment in the 2100 block of Heatherwood Drive confronted Basoflas when he returned to his apartment after a property manager called in a complaint. After further investigation, it was deemed that the blood involved abuse of a dog. The body of the dog was later found at an undisclosed location. Basoflas was arrested for allegedly sodomizing and killing a dog.
Finally, the anal opening was not designed by evolution for sexual penetration, so anal sex, being an activity involving the invasion of the anorectal canal, can cause the muscles to give way, thereby leading to rectal prolapse.
So did you just come out of the woodwork to attack me for not stateing my reply the way you thought it should have been stated?

You left out oral. Why did you leave that out? What is wrong with oral and anal sex?

The letter of the law is just as much about the sodomy as the beastiality so why do you choose to focus where you choose to focus?
Now it is a gay thing? I guess no one ever told me only gay people have oral and anal sex.
Considering that there's no need to kill any animal for a meal, then I have to ask you how killing an animal for a meal ( swiftly or otherwise ) is any better than having sex with one ?

Animal that is swiftly killed does not even feel much pain, (in case of euthanasia, none) and its over. Having sex with an animal on the other hand, may be stressful and even painful for the animal, depending on the consequences, and may look more like rape.

It is also less important for society than animal products, thus the willingness to ban it.

There may be element of moral outrage present. But I am sure lots of opponents of bestiality oppose it not due to any sexual immorality, but due to genuine concern for animal wellbeing, which is a worthy cause.
