These bills are stupid because they never provide a decent justification other than the disgust some people feel with the act. The whole idea of it being abusive is laughable because then there is no need for a law against bestiality. You don't have a law against hitting a dog with a pole, you just prosecute that under animal abuse. The reason people want laws against bestiality is because when they try to prosecute them under animal abuse they can't find any evidence of abuse. That's exactly what happened in Washington. Tried a bestiality case, bestiality was legal and no evidence of abuse was found so after that they made bestiality illegal.
"If all mankind minus one, were of one opinion, and only one person were of the contrary opinion, mankind would be no more justified in silencing that one person, than he, if he had the power, would be justified in silencing mankind."
