>>11816767Well the abuse laws also apply to animals used for food. They have to be 'humanely' killed. On the flipside I'm pretty sure it's not illegal to have 'sex' with a dead animal so in that sense the laws are not inconsistent since you could humanely kill one then fuck it.
It's still retarded that 'consensual' (inasmuch as an animal can consent by actively engaging in the behaviour) sex with animals that isn't abusive or physically damaging is illegal.
