]The Canadian Supreme Court has ruled on the definition of the crime of bestiality: judges have ruled that only penetration cases can be characterized as crimes, the CBC reports.

This legal decision follows the trial of a man convicted of s*xual assaults on his daughters-in-law for several years and sentenced to sixteen years in prison. One of the charges against him was forcing one of his daughters-in-law to commit bestial acts (in this case, putting peanut butter on the genitals for their dogs to lick them).




But he appealed the charge to the Supreme Court of British Columbia and in 2015 he was acquitted of zoophilia. The Canadian government then appealed this decision to the Supreme Court, which recently upheld the acquittal. Following this decision, the prisoner’s sentence will be reduced by two years.

In this case, judges consider it is for parliamentarians, not the Court, to broaden the definition of zoophilia if they consider that the current provisions do not adequately protect children and animals.
