Wanna know what this really was about? This is my work state, so I get legislative updates through the state Bar association. There was a law concerning bestiality back in the day. It was dropped during an update of the criminal code as being antiquated and unnecessary because of animal cruelty laws. Fast forward to 2015, and some people in a community got up in arms about a case involving doggie luvin because a reporter stated that there were no laws about luvin between people and animals in Ohio. A legislator running for re-election sees the opportunity to make the press, and goes on a campaign of pushing for this law because it's necessary to protect the animals from perverts. It's gone through with little opposition because, let's face it, only a political fool would publicly stand against this kind of law. So, it passes not because it's necessary, but because it made people feel good and got some political player good press.
