ThePyg is spot-on! If the animal is sexually mature and large-breed, consents and no abuse, cruelty or harm is done to the animal and the human takes good care of the animal and loves him/her, the owner of the animal(s) (if not yours) consents, is done in private, etc. then bestiality has no business being illegal and I know all the anti-bestiality crowd who will ignore this argument are ignorant and prejudiced...Bestiality in this definition and in all are by no means hurting anyone...Only pedophilia is...

Side: No

The law must be respected but people do have the right to vocally protest it.

No one should get to decide when a law is unjust or should be broken; protesting peacefully aside, people have no right to blatantly rebel against the law and possibly hurt the public in general. I have nothing against freedom of speech or questioning the government, but there is a line to everything and the common citizens can't just decide that a law is unfair if they don't like it.

Ex: Ku Klux Klan wouldn't allow blacks to progress with their rights after the Civil War because they found the laws unjust but they had to right to take it into their own hands. Personal opinions have no place when following a law.

"Good men must not obey the laws too well." ~Ralph Waldo Emerson

people have no right to blatantly rebel against the law

People have every right to rebel against the law if the law does not serve the best interest of the people, and any who would deny them that right have no right to rule or govern in the first place.

Martin Luther King Jr. Broke the law. He is remembered as a visionary. Rosa Parks broke the law. She is remember as a visionary. Gandhi broke the law. He is remembered as a saint. Nelson Mandela broke the law. He is remember as a Revolutionary. The Original Tea Party, broke the Law. They are remembered as revolutionaries. Galileo Broke the law. He is remembered as a Genius.

History is filled with individuals who broke the law, and made the world a better place. Fortunately for the rest of us, they did not think as you do.
