    Do you mean they were written with caveats for what farmers do or that they were created in order to sanctify what they do with outlawing bestiality as an excuse?

      so it's different for every state, but for most states, the laws have claims in them saying that they don't apply to animal husbandry. I don't think most people realize what animal breeding actually entails but in order for it not to be prosecuted there has to be a loophole in the law (so, one was created). there was actually a huge backlash in Missouri(?) when bestiality laws were being proposed because the farmers believed it would directly harm them and their business.

      (I put a question with Missouri because it may have been Michigan and I can't remember off the top of my head)
