Bill, to you there's been one point made.
That doesn't make you right, so don't dislocate your shoulder patting yourself on the back just yet. I never said otherwise. Nor do I actually expect to win this debate.

That being said, animals do not have a right to privacy (though left wing yahoos would probably like to creat such a right), and so regulating animal sexual activity should not be a problem. I don't know. We have laws against animal cruelty, and that hints to the fact that animals do have some rights. I'm pretty sure that, for example, most people would at least want to believe that pets have rights. Heck, the most common argument against beastiality is the fact that legal sex is consentual, and an animal cannot consent; ergo animals must have some rights in the first place to make consent an issue in the first place, over, say, a vibrator, or a phone plugged in the you-know-what. But then again, you talked about a right to privacy, not animal rights, but eh.

Of course, this doesn't say anything about whether or not an animal carcass has rights, but whatever.
