Another lie.
Your country is a haven for animal rapists. Jesus hates your country, believe me.

Sex with animals not punishable by law
10 November 2006
BRUSSELS - A Belgian magistrate this week came to the conclusion that bestiality or sex with animals is not against Belgian law.
The Antwerp appeal court judge was considering the case of a gentleman from Limburg Province who had sex with dozens of dogs.
To his chagrin the appeal court judge came to the conclusion that there were no legal grounds to convict the 37-year-old from Genk.
The court ruled that what happened was morally repulsive, but not punishable under Belgian law. The presiding judge said that this amounted to a loophole in the law.
The man, who worked as a volunteer in an animal sanctuary, received a EUR 500 euros fine for violating public decency legislation.
The assaults on the animals had gone on for three years between 1997 and 1999 and the defendant had published thousands of photos relating to his bestial acts on the Internet. The court also seized his computer.
As the defendant achknowledged that what he did was wrong, the appeal court did not insist on the three months suspended sentence imposed by the lower court.
The lower court also acquitted the defendant of the charges of bestiality because he never deliberately hurt any animals.
The appeal court judge made it clear he didn't agree with the fact that such acts could not be punished by law.
The matter came to court following a complaint by the animal rights' organisation Gaia. In response to the verdict Gaia said that the court had handed a victory to people who rape animals.
