Original Note:
Spain has NOT decriminalized bestiality. In February 2023, it passed a measure amending the criminal code around animal abuse, adjusting some penalties. https://www.snopes.com/news/2023/02/24/spain-decriminalize-bestiality/ The false misrepresentation is potentially from a statement by the Polish justice minister: https://notesfrompoland.com/2023/02/20/spain-is-legalising-bestiality-claims-polish-justice-minister-in-warning-over-leftist-virus/ Bill: https://www.congreso.es/es/busqueda-de-iniciativas?p_p_id=iniciativas&p_p_lifecycle=0&p_p_state=normal&p_p_mode=view&_iniciativas_mode=mostrarDetalle&_iniciativas_legislatura=XIV&_iniciativas_id=121/000118
