A sign of the times.

Comment on this article

Bestiality is becoming an emerging issue.  In Sweden hundreds of animals are injured each year from sexual attacks (Expressen.seJanuary 19, 2004).  In Germany this practice is increasing, partly due to a loophole in animal protection laws (DailyMail, July 1, 2013).

According to an animal rights officer, “There are now animal brothels in Germany” and “people were playing down the issue by describing it as a ‘lifestyle choice’” (ibid.). Many German leaders want to ban bestiality again, but the German ‘zoophile’ group ZETA announced it will “mount a legal challenge should a ban on bestiality become law” and that “Mere concepts of morality have no business being law” (ibid.).  

This kind of thinking is reflected in a Yale University workshop where students were taught sensitivity for bestiality and other perversions (CampusReform, March 5, 2013).  On a related matter, “Designer Karl Lagerfeld has declared that he wants to marry his pet cat,” which has three different maids attending its every need (Telegraph, June 5, 2013).

While the Bible clearly condemns any type of sexuality with animals (Leviticus 18:23), Bible prophecies indicate that as we approach the end of the age “lawlessness will abound” (Matthew 24:12) and all kinds of evils will become commonplace (2 Timothy 3:1-4) in what the prophet Isaiah called a “sick” society (Isaiah 1:5).

The acceptance of bestiality is one more reason why Jesus Christ will return and set up the Kingdom of God. For more about the coming Kingdom of God, review our free booklet, The World Ahead: What Will It Be Like?
