Perhaps ironically, it kicked off when activists succeeded in banning the practice in places like Germany and Norway. In the background, something else emerged simultaneously: an animal-sex-tourism industry, which has been blossoming in Denmark.<ref>[http://examiningatheism.blogspot.com/2016/08/the-problem-of-irreligious-engaging-in.html Secular Europe's weird bestiality renaissance]</ref>}} − − Some European countries, especially the countries of Denmark, Germany and Sweden, after having received some negative publicity related to individuals engaging in bestiality, passed laws against the practice (see: [[Bestiality and various geographic areas]] and [[Bestiality and Sweden]] and [[Bestiality and Germany]]). In addition, the first "beststiality rights" organization was founded in secular Europe (see: [[Atheism and bestiality#The first "bestiality rights" organization was founded in secular Europe|The first "bestiality rights" organization was founded in secular Europe]]). − − The website Health24 published an article entitled ''Bestiality is much, much more common than you think'' which states: − {{Cquote|You might think that bestiality has died out, or that it only happens on farms, or that it's illegal everywhere. You would be very, very, very wrong... − − It would be naïve to suggest, though, that the problem disappeared after the laws changed. Even in situations where zoophilia is legal, it is still far from socially acceptable, and so those who indulge in it are used to keeping quiet. Instead, zoophiles tend to communicate and congregate through societies, like the Germany-based Zoophiles Engagement für Toleranz und Aufklrung [link made inactive], as well as dedicated websites which offer a judgement-free space to converse. − − The largest such site, BeastForum, claims over 1.2 million registered members at the time of writing as well as more than that number again in unregistered visitors.<ref>[http://examiningatheism.blogspot.com/2016/08/the-problem-of-irreligious-engaging-in.html The problem of the irreligious engaging in bestiality may not have been largely solved!]</ref>}}
