Rejected petition Ban sex with animals in the USA and EU

More details

Target -President Barack Obama, Vice President Joe Biden.

Sex with animals is Legal in the USA and EU.
Enact a law that makes beastiality a felony and protects animals in all 50 states from sexual preditors that believe sex without consent is acceptable. It isn't. It's rape even to an innocent animal.

In the United States, bestiality is officially illegal in 31 states.

17 states make beastiality a felony. They are: Alaska, Arizona, Delaware, Georgia, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Massachusetts, Michigan, Mississippi, Oklahoma, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Virginia and Washington.

Fourteen states consider it a misdemeanor, those being: Arkansas, California, Iowa, Maine, Maryland, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, New York, North Dakota, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Utah and Wisconsin.

That means the remaining 19 states, and DC, have no laws prohibiting this type of animal abuse.
