I have a question... If we already have laws that prevent animal cruelty, then why do we need a law specifically for having sex with an animal?
If you ask me, the process of butchering millions of chickens, cows, pigs, and sheep every year is far bigger deal for those animals than the perhaps ten thousand a year that are forced to have sex with a human.
I don't think that we should put people in jail for bestiality for the same reasons I don't think we should put people in jail for having anal sex or a scat fetish. The law should not be used to dictate morality, and no matter how icky you think something is, there is someone else who enjoys it.
This isn't news. I got in trouble for all sorts of shit when I was in school, and I don't recall ever trying to make a news report about it.
The school bans candy, the child disobeyed, the child is punished. Seriously, that's all. I got in trouble for running when I was in school - that doesn't make them fascists, and the school wasn't just trying to make an example out of me, and my parents didn't get enraged and scream at the principal. No, instead, I stopped running, I took my punishment (Staying after class), and that was that.
The system was down for backups from 5am to 10am last Saturday.
