Ben Fordham is calling out a bestiality talk to be given at The Festival of Dangerous Ideas.

Historian Joanna Bourke will be presenting The Last Taboo: What does loving animals mean? in a session recommended for those over the age of 16.

The bio reads, “Sex with animals is one of the last taboos but, for a practice that is generally regarded as abhorrent, it is remarkable how many books, films, plays, paintings, and photographs depict the subject.

“Renowned historian Joanna Bourke explores the modern history of sex between humans and animals. Bourke looks at the changing meanings of “bestiality” and “zoophilia,” and explores their psychiatric and sexual aspects as well as the ethics of animal loving. “

Ben has sent the link on to the Arts Minister.
