In the Written Torah it says:

If a man has sexual intercourse with any animal, he must be put to death, and you must kill the animal. (Source.)

This law exists to maintain purity; the man was executed because he was contaminated. If they want to compare the situation in the OP with bestiality, then the jew should be executed as well on the same basis.

You're defending this?

1) Am I not allowed to defend things? 2) That isn't even what I'm doing, and I don't see how you can interpret my post as a defense of that law. What issue do you have with my post?

To be clear: I'm saying the Leviticus law exists to maintain purity, and that if jews want a law based on Torah, they should make it consistent with the verse I mentioned.

I see, yes. But Chabad often gets inspiration from other books such as the Lurianic Cabala, Zohar, etc. I misinterpreted what you wrote.
