Bestiality is legal in USA?

"Basically, his colon was ruptured, along with his lower organs in that region, and he bled out," Sortland said.

A cache of hundreds of hours of videotaped man-on-beast sex sessions was found hidden in a field, Sortland said.

The animals kept at the farm included ponies, horses, goats, sheep and dogs, according to the police commander.

Images of the flock of offerings on the bestial dude ranch were relayed over the Internet and records indicate men had come from throughout the United States, according to police.

"Unfortunately, these people were very diligent in filming their activities," Sortland said of a viewing task detectives have found unpleasant.

Police were still reviewing the recordings to determine the range of activities, according to the commander.

Because sex with animals is not barred by law in Washington state, no arrests have been made, according to police, who nonetheless continued to investigate on Monday to determine whether any illegal activity had taken place at the ranch.

The case is being used by state legislators backing a bill that would make it illegal to have sex with beasts, Sortland said.

sick, sick, sick...what did he expect? that stallions have small twangs!

Bestiality is pariah, low-class, despicable, the person who did it must be completely mentally sick!!!!!!

Of course it isn't legal in the US. Where'd that idea come from?

Where it is not expressly outlawed, it's likely that it comes under animal abuse laws.

Whatever happened to the days of just bending over and having your buddy Lance fire tennis balls at your ass through a potato gun?

Those were the days, weren't they, Slappy.

I can still hear the whoosh of the tennis balls.

Just a thought here, but the lady diane just asked me why there would need to be such a law in the first place which kinda indicated that in the states where it is speciifically outlawed, is that because it had been a "problem" in those states? I mean, really, someone ouldhave to think there is a problem before they come up with a law against it, right?

Tell the lady diane that she is putting too much thought into this subject.

I would definitely have to go along with the same lines of thinking as Lady Diane on this one. Laws are not usually put into place unless someone or many someones feels there needs to be one to protect someone, or in this case, some animal, from being harmed. Agreed, what does not fall into the existing laws regarding bestiality, should fall into the cruelty to animals laws.

Common sense doesn't always cut it until a law is made and then the law can only be enforced, not when it is broken, but when it is found out to be broken.

Sick Sick Sick Sick Sick.........

Well, I can find nothing in the constitution re this issue so I can only assume it's a question left to the individual states, apparently some states find it to be a problem and others do not. I am however curious as to how the states vary on this issue in corelation to red state/blue state. (omitting, of course, Mass, which has it's own history of Puritan obsessions with sexuality)

Gus and Slappy, have you ever met the appropriately named Senator Horsely????

Here is an interview with the senator from Georgia who wants to post abortion doctor's name on the internet. He also talks about growing up on the farm. ACK!

The link and a clip:

AC: "You had sex with animals?"

NH: "Absolutely. I was a fool. When you grow up on a farm in Georgia, your first girlfriend is a mule."

AC: "I'm not so sure that that is so."

NH: "You didn't grow up on a farm in Georgia, did you?"

well, actually, im NOT shocked.
Humans have been around for thousands of years.
OF COURSE someone has tried to screw an animal.
Im just surprised that laws are against it.
Dont we have better things to do then make laws about sex with animals?! ( said the wolf ) heheh

I could see having sex with an animal. But a guy having sex with a horse? And being on the receiving end? That's woman's work, dammit!

As I remember my Roman history one of the warm-up, crowd pleaser acts in the Coliseum was public sex between trained donkeys and convicted prostitutes ( or other prisoners)

Frequently the women did not survive.

Personally, I'm wondering what will happen to the animals at the Happy Hijinks Ranch. Will they be regarded as "corrupted beyond redemption"?

The Mongols had laws (or mores, or whatever) against having sex with a variety of animals. Horses were not among them.

It ain't always easy to find a woman on the road in central Asia, I guess...





Dimly remembered from some goofy sex history book. Don't blame me if it ain't accurate -- it applied to somebody who rode horses and raped and pillaged a lot back in the day.

Well you've been screwed, right?

D'OH!
