Our first Mishna in the second Perek, teaches that we are not to keep our animals in Gentiles' inns because we suspect Gentiles of bestiality. This would be like putting a stumbling block before the blind (Leviticus 19:14). A woman may not seclude herself with a Gentile because Gentiles are suspected of immoral sexual behaviour. Finally, no Jew should seclude him/herself with a Gentile for Gentiles are suspected of bloodshed.
The Gemara tackles these points one at a time. First, we learn more about the rabbis concerns about Gentiles and bestiality. The rabbis can site verses that suggest that Gentiles regularly sodomize their animals and other verses that teach us that Gentiles would not defile their animals. It seems that an underlying tension is the need for Jews to do business with Gentile partners.
We exploree the history of bestiality in talmud, antiquity and criminology.
