Alaska and Florida consider bans on bestiality



JUNEAU, Alaska – It's a subject that can cause nervous snickering, a little uneasiness and even a few bad jokes.

But many in the southeast Alaska community of Klawock, population 800, weren't laughing last April after a 26-year-old registered sex offender was accused of molesting a local family's pet dog.

The man was spotted by a local woman coaxing the Labrador retriever into the woods near a ball field. There he allegedly tied it to a tree, taped its muzzle shut with duct tape and had sex with it, witnesses told police at the time.

The man had been twice convicted of raping a young boy and more recently had served probation for assault after lunging at a child. While the incident with the dog was reported to the police, Klawock Mayor Don Marvin said nothing happened for two days while fearful parents escorted their children home from school.
"When this incident happened, we had a community that was scared," Marvin said.

Because Alaska has no law against such an attack, Ketchikan District Attorney James Scott eventually charged the man with two counts of criminal mischief, which was later changed to a theft charge.
In requesting a $10,000 bail, Scott told the court that the state was concerned that if a small child had been available and unattended that day, "the small child would have been found taped (and) tied in the woods."

Shocked by that and other similar cases of involving humans having sex with animals, lawmakers in Florida and Alaska are considering bans on bestiality. They are among 15 states were the practice is not explicitly illegal.

Agree with Florida, too many alligators that people would try to make love to, and you know that can't end well.

Disagree with Alaska, it can get lonely up there in the wilderness, and that moose is looking mighty good.

Just a bunch of specieists trying to legislate their morals and restrict choice.



Whatever happened to the rights and privacy of what goes on between a man and a woman and their livestock in the privacy of their own barn?

This country is going to the dogs..(or sheep ,or whatever floats your boat)

[Stew]

Well... um.... its about time?

Geez, are you Christians against all scientific experimentation. The guy was just running a genetics lab. How else are you going to construct a manbearpig?



We never do run out of sickos, do we?

Hey!! Whatever a man, and a woman, and another woman with a penis and a midget do to a donkey, that's their garsh-darn business.

That sick bastard needs to be locked up, heavily sedated, castrated, or shot.

So, you know how if you hover above a thread title on the Tailgate main page, you can see the initial part of the post? Well mine stopped at, "But many in the southeast Alaska community of Klawock, population 800, weren't laughing last April after..."

What a tease! I had to come in.

LOL How did I miss that sign? I need to visit the Owned thread more often. that is funny as hell.

Great. More government intervention intruding on the freedoms of it's citizens.

What I people do in the privacy of their own homes (and barns) is none of their damn business.

maybe if we called it deregulation of love more conservative politicians would be with us. I'm tired of big government telling what I can and can't stick my private areas in.

Call it your "private sector" and you'll get more votes.
