Denmark To Ban People From Having Sex With Animals After Country Became Magnet For Sex Tourists

Denmark has finally vowed to ban sex with animals because the practice is 'damaging the country's reputation' as well as being non-consensual.

The country has become a magnet for animal sex tourists in recent years and has even seen a surge in animal brothels - as bestiality is banned almost everywhere else in Europe. 

Danish agricultural minister Dan Jorgensen said he will outlaw the act - closing the legal loophole following mounting pressure from the international community.

He told Danish daily Ekstra Bladet: 'I have decided that we should ban sex with animals. This is because it constitutes an attack on the animal, which naturally cannot consent to sex. 

'It is also damaging to our country's reputation to allow this practice to continue here while it is banned elsewhere.' 

A recent Gallup opinion poll revealed that 76 per cent of Danes supported a ban on animal sex. 

The bill, which also requires changes in the country's welfare animal laws, will be introduced by the Danish government in 2015. 

Speaking in a VICE documentary, Danish animal rights activist Karoline Lundstrom recently commented: 'I don't think the Danish government is doing enough to protect the animals. 

'They need to do something to protect zoophilia in Denmark.'
