For those planning a vacation you may want to visit Florida soon, your window of opportunity is closing. TAMPA BAY Warn the kids: Bestiality still legal That may change thanks to a lawmaker’s disgust at a Panhandle man’s infamous proclivity for goats. By Marc Caputo tampabay.com The act of bestiality is a step closer to be­coming illegal in Florida now that a Senate committee voted Tuesday to slap a third-de­gree felony charge on anyone who has sex with animals. Florida is one of only 16 states that still permit bestiality — a fact that animal rights activist and Sen. Nan Rich, D-Sunrise, learned to her horror when a Panhandle man two years ago was suspected of acciden­tally asphyxiating a family goat with which he was having sex. “There’s a tremendous correlation be­tween sexually deviant behavior and crimes against children and crimes against ani­mals,†Rich said. “This is long overdue. These are heinous crimes. And people belong in jail.†But the Mossy Head man suspected of as­saulting Meg the Goat near Elgin Air Force Base was never charged because law en­forcement officials could never link him to the crime scene. The suspect was arrested in a separate goat abduction months later, said Walton County Assistant State Attorney Wal­ter Parker. Rich’s proposal was amended to target only those who derived or helped others de­rive “sexual gratification†from an animal. The amendment specified that conventional dog judging contests and animal husbandry practices are permissible. That last provision tripped up Miami Democratic Sen. Larcenia Bullard. “People are taking these animals as their husbands? What’s husbandry?†she asked. Some senators stifled laughter as Chairman Charlie Dean explained that husbandry is a term for the rearing and caring of animals. After the unanimous committee vote, Rich predicted the bill would pass easily this year. She said bestiality used to be illegal in Florida, but the statute was ruled uncon­stitutional because it was considered too broad. Rich noted that bestiality cases have cropped up throughout the state, including the abuse of a seeing-eye dog in Tallahassee and a horse in the Florida Keys. The Mossy Head case gained added attention when a local man produced T-shirts with slogans like “Baaa Means No!†and “What Happens in Mossy Head, Stays in Mossy Head.†“It’s interesting,†Rich said. “People either giggle or get very silent. A lot of people don’t believe something like this can happen. But it does.â€
Naturally, anything that involves cruelty to other people or animals should be outlawed. But if a man and his goat are both consenting adults...
Some more than others, it would seem, but yes, that's the taxonomic classification. I've long wondered about signs on stores that say 'no animals' - don't they want any customers?
The article in the paper mentioned that this guy smothered a goat while having sex with it. Non Consensual breath play and now he'll ruin it for everyone..
They were featuring Jamaica on the Travel Channel yesterday. One of the segments was about a BBQ, with ...you guessed it Goat. They all said it was wonderful! H'mmmm brings up a thought. Your mate driving you nutz, have a BBQ! And I'm drawing the line if I hear Jerry Springer say "You are the Faaathhher"!
How do you even tell if a goat is in the mood? That story DavePh posted is pretty scary, I have to say. And just think how mad the kids would be when they found out that daddy ___ed the sheep to death! That wouldn't go over well with my kids at all.
In the grand scheme of things, I'd rather have the guy f*** a sheep to death than try to f*** one of his children
Porpises? That depends on what the laws are in states that touch an ocean. P.S. I do want to point out that I didn't find this article by searching the intertubes for sheep/goat sex stories. That was the full size front page pic on the free newspaper they drop all over town. Tampa. Goat sex and more strip clubs per capita than any other city in the country.
How could we live with the guilt looking in to the eyes of the dog in your Avatar. Tougher than that Sarah Mclachlan commercial
