[edit] Background

Main article: zoosexuality and society

In newspapers and online news, the topic is most often represented when a person is accused of bestiality, of sexual acts with animals. In many jurisdictions this is either seen as a criminal offence, or at the least as a questionable act. Occasional individuals question this view, which is widely held.
