When Ms.
Wandira Kazibwe was still Vice President and Minster of Agriculture, she was
reportedly against the artificial insemination of cows because “...cows also
like to have sex.” But let’s bookmark Ms. Kazibwe’s comments and return to them
later.
I’ve been to
Denmark and it’s a beautiful country. But back in the day, they used to be
barbaric with the Vikings marauding across Western Europe, pillaging, raping
and looting. Today, they are a gentle nation with a population of 5.6 million,
a life expectancy of 77 years for men and 81 for women and their GNI per capita
according to World Bank, is US $60,160. They even give us Ugandan’s economic
aid through DANIDA.
While the
Danish might also produce some of the finest cheese in the world and have a
solid football team, it would appear that not all of the once marauding Vikings
have settled down and I hope you are sitting down when you read what’s coming
next.
Two weeks
ago, the Danish agricultural minister, Dan Jorgensen,
finally decided to ban sex with animals because the practice was 'damaging the
country's reputation as well as being non-consensual’. Do you want me to repeat
that? Ok, two weeks ago, the Danish agricultural minister, Dan Jorgensen, finally decided to ban sex with animals because the
practice was 'damaging the country's reputation as well as being non-consensual’.
It sounds a trifle similar to what Kazibwe said except that, she was advocating
for sex between bulls and cows. And Jorgensen, how do animals give consent to
sex with humans? Would the cow have to moo twice?
Denmark if you
remember, was one of the countries that made noise and threatened to cut off
aid to Uganda if the anti-gay bill was passed not so? But between the two
evils, which is worse – same couple sex or sex with animals?
The Danes would
lecture us that if the practice was banned, it ‘would interfere on the human
rights of those who have sex with animals.’ Hmm!
The country has
now become a magnet for animal sex tourists and has even seen a surge in animal
brothels - as the act is banned almost everywhere else in Europe.
Pause, pause,
pause!! Sex animal tourists and animal brothels? How perverse can the Danes
really get? We don’t have animal brothels in our backward Uganda but in first
world Denmark, it is the order of the day. Can you imagine going to Meat
Packers on Old Portbell Road on a Saturday morning to buy your Sunday roast and
only to find a line of Danes hoping to have sex with the cows, goats or sheep
before they are slaughtered.
A recent up opinion poll revealed that 76%
of Danes supported a ban on animal sex. So what about the 24% who are
still in favour of having sex with animals? Will they be camping at Jessa
Dairies?
Uganda as a nation is not perfect and yes
we do have our faults but, the Western World ought to first get their house in
order before melting down rules to us.
Seeing Foreign Minister Sam Kuteesa, is
now a bigwig at the UN, he should bring this practise to the attention of the
world as well as writing a strongly worded letter to the governments of Finland,
Hungary and Romania and threaten to close down their embassies in Kampala
because sex with animals is still legal in those countries. And we should also
take to the streets and also demonstrate outside their embassies.
I do love my meat, but when I next travel
to Denmark, I will become a vegetarian – who knows who the cow, sheep, goat or pig has been sleeping with?
Tim, a vegetarian! No!

ReplyDeleteWho knows where the cow, sheep, goat of pig has been? How about who knows who it has been with?
