Animal rape is legal in the US and the EU
Rape is the unlawful act of using physical force or duress to have sexual intercourse. What kind of message are people sending out to younger generations if engaging in a sexual act with a helpless animal is legal? Sadly, sex with animals, or more precisely raping animals, is a legal act in both EU and the States. 
Please sign the following petitions to end this barbaric, inhumane act:- here- here

A system that values obedience over curiosity isn’t education and it definitely isn’t science.

Florida Teen Tried With Felony For Trying Science

A beautiful rant about misguided public science education and how the fear of punishment kills curiosity, especially for minorities because they tend to receive harsher punishments, and for the poor because punishments end up being harsher on them when something like bail ends up putting their families even farther in debt.
