I though about putting this in pets but actually this is not about pets.

I was just reading Canada law on service dogs and emotional support animals. Canada only adopted the laws that the U.S have had for service animals in 2016. Emotional support animals have no recognition at all.

They have veterans there working at changing that now.

Now I was trying in every way to look at the laws for service and ESA and when I typed in just "animal law in Canada" I found something extremely disturbing. bestiality in Canada is not illegal. Just as long as there is no penetration. Now if that goes both ways I do not know but that does not really matter because it is all very sick.

This is something I would never expect from our Canadian friends government.

2. I just read through the post you gave me and it says the same thing as I had read in other posts.

It does still indicate that it is legal unless there is penetration. They are working on it but the last they came to any conclusion was in 2016. I am sure they are working on that but they still have some way to go.

3. Is there some sort of explosion of "non penetrating bestiality" in Canada

For one thing, laws like that have to be written very carefully, as the livestock semen market is of tremendous economic value.

But all we have here is a drafting issue with the previous statute, and one designed to fix that drafting issue in the pipeline. So I don't see the basis for "I would never expect from our Canadian friends government."

It is also extremely likely that abuse of animals is generally covered in an appropriate statute, regardless of whether one believes that through a statutory drafting issue, Canada has some sort of intent to become a haven for "non-penetrating bestiality".

The Snopes header is "Mostly False" incidentally.

4. Maybe there is something I am misunderstanding even though I have read several

articles because then all of the articles are extremely vague when explaining the issue. Maybe it is written so complicated that an idiot like me can not comprehend what it actually means. I guess it sucks having a learning disability and part of it is a problem with comprehension particularly on things either to vague or complicated. It frustrates me when I can not see what everybody else sees. I am sorry that I have been reading it wrong. I apologize because I really do not mean to insult anyone.
