Gives a new meaning to the rhyme “Knick-knack paddywhack, Give a dog a bone”.

I know the Tasmanian criminal code is near identical to the Queensland criminal code, along with the Western Australia criminal code (all 3 were initially written by Sir Samuel Griffith). I would have thought attempt to commit beastiality would be more appropriate in this case. I know it’s available under the Qld crim code and remember been told about a case involving attempted beastiality when I did the police prosecutors course.
