I think everybody should have an interest in peace prevailing and the ridiculousness, the bestiality of war. I don't have any time for that. Anybody pulling a trigger is wrong. There is no right in war.

Irish Actor

Bestiality is a criminal offense in many places, so it's a word tied to legal and ethical issues.

Legally Sensitive

Using 'bestiality' can be very offensive and shocking because of the taboo nature of the act.

Highly Offensive

Don't confuse 'bestiality' with 'zoology' which is the scientific study of animals.

Not Zoology Term

In modern times, 'bestiality' usually doesn't mean cruelty, but the old sense might appear in history or literature.

Archaic Usage

When used in its archaic sense, 'bestiality' conveys a heavy emotional charge, often condemning the actions described.

Emotional Weight

Occasionally, 'bestiality' might be used metaphorically to describe extreme violence or ruthlessness.
