Bill-C16, the Protecting Victims Act, appears, to me, to potentially, at least in part, criminalize furry porn
From the bill [1]:
[…] It amends the Criminal Code to, among other things, […] (g) criminalize the distribution of visual representations of bestiality; […] [1.3]
(3.1) Every person commits an offence who knowingly publishes, distributes, transmits, sells, makes available or advertises any visual representation that is or is likely to be mistaken for a photographic, film, video or other visual recording of a person committing bestiality. [1.1]
(3.4) Every person who commits an offence under subsection (3.1)
(a) is guilty of an indictable offence and is liable to imprisonment for a term of not more than five years; or
(b) is guilty of an offence punishable on summary conviction. [1.2]
For context, from the Criminal Code:
(7) In this section, bestiality means any contact, for a sexual purpose, with an animal. [3]
The Department of Justice's rationale is that it is "online sextortion" [2], and that it is known to be used to manipulate children for sexual purposes [2].
