this type of thing is why we believe that leftism and animal liberation go hand-in-hand. I know it's annoying to be called out and I know you probably just want us to shut up, but this is why we keep saying it. by the way, if anyone wants a source on that, I'd be happy to provide.
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)

tbh that seems like a no-brainer
like I said, I don't think most people know the nasty shit that goes into animal breeding
that's very true
