FL Senate passes bill to outlaw sex with animals

[dem629]

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. -- Having sex with animals could soon be outlawed in Florida.

The Senate unanimously passed a bill (SB 448) Tuesday that would make it a third degree felony for anyone to have sex with an animal. A similar bill in the House has not been debated on the floor.

Florida is one of 16 states without a law banning bestiality.

1. Funny that FL still has sodomy laws, but you could have sex with a goat for years before today

[atreides1]

16. It isn't a law yet

So the goat f***kers still have time.;)

[JonLP24]

35. There shouldn't have been any laws

Since the Supreme Court decision Lawrence v Texas of 2003.

[Taverner]

50. I thought some states were keeping the laws on the books just to spite the SCOTUS

[JonLP24]

51. I can't find information on laws after 2003, only before

All I know is the Lawrence v Texas decision invalidated sodomy laws in all 50 states. I did find what the Florida was at the time of the decision.

Florida — All sodomy acts illegal. Penalty = (60 days/$500)

Florida, Idaho, Indiana, Kansas, Louisiana, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Texas, Utah, and Virginia all had sodomy laws at the time of the ruling while other states had repealed it before the decision.

2. There goes the weekend for some people

[Deep13]

3. See, I would have made it a misdemeanor.

Just sayin'.

[spanone]

4. so republican politicians can no longer have sex in florida?

[Wildewolfe]

8. No, it's worse than that...

This bill would make it illegal for republicans to masturbate.

[jody]

5. Are humans animals? If so then the bill will discourage tourist trade and squelch spring-break fever...

[Occam Bandage]

6. "The Florida law would not apply to veterinary practices"

I'm sure there's a very good explanation for this sentence. I don't care. It's funny.

[YDogg]

22. LOL

[kimmylavin]

24. Jeez...

My head is spinning, trying to imagine what in the world that sentence means!
But you're right; it is funny. :)

[JVS]

31. probably so someone collecting semen from an animal for breeding won't get busted

[Occam Bandage]

33. I just said I didn't want an explanation, dammit. nt

36. don't click here

54. Artificial insemination requires masturbating male animals

It also requires inserting your hands in the female animal's nether regions. Either way, it's technically sex--especially since the intent of the whole exercise is to get the female animal pregnant, which last I checked is the reason there's sex in the first place.

Not providing a veterinary exception would outlaw a great deal of animal agriculture, especially anything having to do with cattle.

[Turbineguy]

7. Have they considered what will happen

to the tourist trade?

[hughee99]

9. "Has not been debated"?

Who the hell is going to get up and argue against the bill?

[Jack Sprat]

10. Good to hear that. I feel rotten about

the animals subjected to this before now. This wasn't going to happen under Jeb Bush obviously.

[plcdude]

11. More bad news for Limbaugh

who will love him and who can he love?

[condoleeza]

12. PRICELESS

[CoffeeCat]

17. Hilarious!

You rock...

:rofl:

[Puzzler]

13. Is it a big problem in Florida, or what?

I would have thought that you could (depending on the circumstances) charge people under the existing cruelty to animals laws, and be done with it.

[Snazzy]

14. see ya later, alligator

[question everything]

15. So glad that Florida knows where its priorities are

OOps, will this get locked for "broad brush attacks on people based on their region of residence?"

[Mojorabbit]

21. I believe this is in response to a case in

north fl where someone was arrested for this and then it was discovered there was no law on the books against it.

[csziggy]

40. That's Florida for you! We also had no law against sex with the dead

Until they caught someone doing it and couldn't charge them with more than 'interfering with a corpse'!

[NoGOPZone]

18. No law banning sex with animals

but they were one of the states that had banned consenual sodomy until Lawrence v. Texas invalidated it.

[Owl]

19. Sex with animals?

:crazy:

[undeterred]

20. They'll just cross the state line and go to Georgia.

:hide:

[OneGrassRoot]

32. LOL! Where's that thread from yesterday....about that politician from GA

saying he grew up having sex with mules, and watermelon?

[OneGrassRoot]

44. Here it is:

23. So these three dogs are sitting in the veterinarian office waiting room

and the first dog says to the second dog "What are you in for"?

The second dog replies, "Well, I can't stop barking. I bark at the postman, I bark at the master's kids, I bark at the neighbors, bark bark bark all day long. So my master has brought me in to get my balls snipped. What are you in for?"

The first dog answers, "I can't stop digging. I dig in the front yard, I dig in the back yard, I dig under the fence and I dig under the pool. I dig dig dig all day long, so my master has brought me to get my balls snipped too."

The first dog looks over to the third dog and asks, "What are you in for"?

The third dog replies, "I can't stop humping. I hump the couch, I hump my master's leg, I hump the cat, I hump hump hump all day long". Last night I saw my master's wife naked bent over filling the bathtub, and I just couldn't help myself..."

The second dog asks, "So you in to get your balls snipped too"?

Third dog answers, "Nope, nail trim".

[valerief]

25. LOL!!!

:rofl:

[mscuedawg]

26. So THAT'S whats wrong w/those rednecks down there...n/t

[LeftinOH]

27. Was this really a problem? WTF?

[TheCoxwain]

28. can I have sex with a plant now?

how about warm apple pie?

[mnhtnbb]

29. Hm. When are they gonna' pass a law banning politicians with heads up their a$$es?

[sufrommich]

30. They're just now passing bestiality laws down there?

I imagine we'll see some "Obama takes away another freedom!!!!" signs at the next teabagger party.

[Fla_Democrat]

34. ya know

not to throw a monkey wrench into the whole WTF is wrong with Florida kick that so many people enjoy... I can't help but notice that 34 other states have already had such a problem with this.. that they have laws on the books already.

I guess in Florida, animal molesting hasn't been the issue it has in 68% of the country... and most likely wouldn't be now, if it wasn't for all the transplants. :evilgrin:

[Sabriel]

46. Is that "monkey wrench" or "monkey wench"?

It makes a difference in this thread, ya know.

[KamaAina]

37. But what if you're married to, say, a box turtle?

:sarcasm:

[csziggy]

42. Animal husbandry is a whole different issue!

Rich's legislation would target only those who derived or helped others derive ''sexual gratification'' from an animal, specifying 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 Sen. Charlie Dean, an Inverness Republican, explained that husbandry is raising and caring for animals. Bullard didn't get it.

''So that maybe was the reason the lady was so upset about that monkey?'' Bullard asked, referring to a Connecticut case where a woman's suburban chimpanzee went mad and was shot.

38. Glad to see sex with tissue is ok

[lunatica]

39. Yeah, some people have gotten hurt screwing the Alligators

[rucky]

41. I guess they finally realized how close their state is to Georgia. n/t

[Toucano]

43. So Limbaugh will never get laid again?

Oh, wait. I forgot he can travel out of the state. Are people allowed to fuck pigs in the Dominican Republic?

[WI_DEM]

45. They actually got enough republicans to vote for it?

[eppur_se_muova]

47. So ... how many of those 16 states are Red?

C'mon ... it had to be asked. :evilgrin:

[Vinca]

48. We got the creepiest email a couple of weeks ago.

It came from "The Daily Beast," which I recognized as a political web site. So I opened it and it was a bestiality site. ARRRGGGGHHHHH!

[Danger Mouse]

49. Imagine if someone voted against the bill.

:P

[JimGinPA]

52. Sure - One Little Swine Flu Outbreak And They Go All Legislative On The Good 'Ol Boys Down There

:rofl:

[lunatica]

53. LOL! Good one!
