WOO HOO! Beastiality is ALMOST illegal in Florida!

[flvegan]

The act of bestiality is a step closer to becoming illegal in Florida now that a Senate committee voted 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 Sunrise Sen. Nan Rich learned to her horror when a Panhandle man three years ago was suspected of accidentally asphyxiating a family goat with which he was copulating.

“There’s a tremendous correlation between sexually deviant behavior and crimes against children and crimes against animals,” said Rich, a Sunrise Democrat. “This is long overdue. These are heinous crimes. And people belong in jail.”

But the Mossy Head man suspected of assaulting Meg the Goat was never charged, because law enforcement officials could never link him to the crime scene. The suspect was arrested in a separate goat-abducting months later, said Walton County Assistant State Attorney Walter Parker.

1. Meg?

:rofl:

[flvegan]

2. 'Tis a fine Christian name for a goat.

[arcadian]

13. You sure this isn't from the Onion?

“People are taking these animals as their husbands? What’s husbandry?” she asked. Some senators stifled their laughter as Chairman Charlie Dean explained that husbandry it was the rearing and caring of animals.

Bullard didn’t get it.

[flvegan]

16. ...and she's a Dem.

D'oh!

[sakabatou]

4. Yeah, Meg

[Lethe]

3. well, what does the bible have to say about it

nothing

therefore, it should remain legal of course

if they are adamant about enacting the law, they should be careful about the terminology, because humans are animals too you know.

[sakabatou]

5. Actually the Bible does have some things on beastiality

Whosoever lieth with a beast shall surely be put to death. -- Exodus 22:19

And if a man lie with a beast, he shall surely be put to death: and ye shall slay the beast. -- Leviticus 20:15

And if a woman approach unto any beast, and lie down thereto, thou shalt kill the woman, and the beast: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them. -- Leviticus 20:16

[TK421]

7. You should tell that to my ex n/t

[redqueen]

23. Ew.

I hope you're not implying what it seems like you're implying.

[TK421]

30. No...I'm not talking about an animal, but the "beast" reference is fitting

:rofl: sorry about that! Should have elaborated....

[Lethe]

9. you had those verses ready didnt you?

hehe :D

i feel sorry for the beast though, it's not like he signed a consentual agreement or anything

[sakabatou]

14. No

I looked them up.

[Lethe]

15. it makes you wonder

why the need for some much repetition in the law

:D

[sakabatou]

19. Written by different people over a long period of time.

[NoPasaran]

24. Lots of shepherds needing entertainment back in those days

And the iPod wouldn't be invented for 2,500 years.

[hvn_nbr_2]

25. Ye shall slay the beast.

That satanic goat surely was asking for it by prancing around nekkid.

[leeroysphitz]

34. if we all listened to leviticus damn near everyone would get put to death eventually.

40. That sounds awfully Jewish do you anything from the Christain part?

:sarcasm:

6. i went for the article but stayed for the comments.

Jack C - your ex-wife must know my ex-husband. Oh, wait, my ex wasn't a pony, he was a jackass :-)

Where's the ACLU in the face of this horrible form of anti-horse discrimination?

My ex-wife will be really upset, she'll have to break-up with her shetland pony, and they've dated for years.

8. Wait a minute....

I thought that granting gay rights was going to CAUSE beastiality... And now you're telling me that in some places, beastiality is legally permitted while being gay is not?

Sheesh.... Now I'm totally confused....

[DemBones DemBones]

10. Somehow I'm not surprised that a man who

copulates with goats is known as "the Mossy Head man."

[FedUpWithIt All]

11. Oh, dear me...

>>> 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 their laughter as Chairman Charlie Dean explained that husbandry it was the rearing and caring of animals.

Bullard didn’t get it.

“So that maybe have been the reason the lady was so upset about that monkey? Bullard asked, referring to a New York case where a woman’s suburban chimpanzee want mad and was shot.

“I’m not familiar with that particular incident or case,” Dean said.<<<

[Jamastiene]

27. OMFG

I normally lay off Florida because there are some good people there too...but even my rural North Carolina brain knows what animal husbandry means. :wtf:

Why do they allow idiots that stupid to run any part of our government? Nevermind. Case in point: We had Chimpy for 8 solid years and we know why that happened. :eyes:

[DS1]

12. It'll be overturned the day the Boxturtle parade holds up traffic

[skygazer]

17. He was arrested in a separate goat abducting months later

A serial goat-napper/assaulter. And he asphyxiated Meg? Are you sure this guy isn't a horse himself?

[arcadian]

18. Sounds more like cattle rustling,

they should have pinned that on him too.

[tjwash]

20. ....

[arcadian]

22. I like how the little stick figure Bugs

throws his hands up in the air in joy when Florida is well out to sea. :rofl:

[TZ]

21. Ummm...

and people wonder why Florida has such a umm interesting reputation..:rofl:

[Jamastiene]

29. I normally lay off Florida for the most part, because

I do know a couple of people who live there who are smart. Now, I see that not only are some Floridians chasing down goats and doing unspeakable things to them, but also a member of their government down there actually thinks animal husbandry means marrying animals.

Flvegan, if I could afford it, I'd send you a bumper sticker that says, "I'm surrounded by idiots." And I thought NC was backasswards and hellish. :wtf:

[foxfeet]

26. And how is YOUR goat taking the news?

:P

[Bake]

28. I resisted clicking on this thread all day, until now.

Now I wish I hadn't.

31. J-e-e-z-u-s C-h-r-i-s-t!

You have got to be kidding me. It's legal to fuck animals?

Holy Mary Mother of God.

And what kind of a sick asshole would want to fuck a goat anyway?

At the very least, asphyxiating the goat should have come under animal cruelty law. Christ Almighty!

“There’s a tremendous correlation between sexually deviant behavior and crimes against children and crimes against animals.”

Well no shit. Any janitor could figure that one out. :eyes:

Jeebus. Fuck a goat. That's just plain pitiful.

[flvegan]

32. Goatfuckers!

[Lil Missy]

33. Goddamn. Just makes me sick.

I don't know how you put up with what you do, flvegan.

I sure couldn't do it.

:hug:

[LeftyMom]

35. .

WOULD YOU FUCKING MOVE SOMEWHERE CIVILIZED ALREADY???

Jesus Tittyfucking Christ.

[BreweryYardRat]

36. Hopefully I'll be leaving for Portland within a year, at most.

Want me to drag him along and drop him at your place on my way out there?

[LeftyMom]

37. Sure.

Or you can drag him up to Portland, I like it there.

[petronius]

38. Certainly puts a new spin on the chupacabre

;)

[rug]

39. In New York it is illegal to have sex with a live animal or a dead human

but it is legal to have sex with a dead animal.

41. Well I am glad they drew the line somewhere...
