Every few months, the media beats the drum about America's #1 victimless crime: sex with animals. The Miami Hurled is on the case again today, bringing us the latest updates from the backroom power brokers as they conspire to rob us of our god given rights:
''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.'' ...
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 their laughter as Chairman Charlie Dean explained that husbandry is the rearing and caring of 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 New York case where a woman's suburban chimpanzee went mad and was shot.
Oy vey! Are these the kinds of people that we want legislating our morality? I pray this doesn't come to pass, or me and the rest of the Brickell Avenue Amateur Animal-Love and Salsa Dancing Enthusiasts Club (sponsored by Bank of America) will have to resort to butterscotching.
animals, children, whatever. If they can't verbally and clearly express their opinions and/or desires then its wrong.
Not only when it comes to shagtime.
