[[Bestiality]] is the unbiblical act of a [[human being]] engaging in sexual relations with an [[animal]].
This is a perversion and, under [[Pentateuch|Jewish Law]], punishable by death (see [[Old Testament]] verses such as Exodus 22:19, Leviticus 18:23, Leviticus 20:15 and Deuteronomy 27:21). In addition to being repulsive and being a sexual [[taboo]] in societies, bestiality can cause harm to both animals and humans.<ref>

The pro-[[evolution]] magazine the ''[[Scientific American]]'' speciously made this unwarranted speculation via their blog on the aberrant practice of bestiality:
{{cquote|After all, we are animals....
In any event, philosophical questions aside, I simply find it astounding — and incredibly fascinating from an [[evolution|evolutionary]] perspective — that so many people (as much as a full percent of the general population) are certifiable zoophiles. And scientific researchers appear to be slowly conceding that zoophilia may be a genuine human sexual orientation.<ref>Animal Lovers: Zoophiles Make Scientists Rethink Human Sexuality By Jesse Bering, March 24, 2010</ref>}}
European countries with high belief in [[evolution]] (which asserts that man descended from animals and are related to them) and high degrees of irreligion had notable problems with bestiality (see: [[Bestiality and various geographic areas]] and [[Evolutionary belief and bestiality]] and [[Atheism and bestiality]]).
