The next frontier!

[GregW]

I have concluded that WP is obsessed with God and Sex because they will always attract attention. I suggest he practice a bit of both so he can get over his obsessions.

I imagine you are incorrect on the other states, too.

I do apologise, mea culpa, and my facts are indeed a little out of date but not by much. Florida only outlawed it two years ago I think ? Some have only been in the last 10 years at most as far as I can ascertain. Texas decriminalised it in the 70s I believed and repealed it only a couple of years back ?

Overview of Zoophilia and Bestiality Laws - This was 2008 I think.

· ↑ Posner, Richard, A Guide to America's Sex Laws, The University of Chicago Press, 1996 this was 2006



Images of a legal act may be illegal to possess. The first prosecutions for bestiality pornography occurred in 2009.





Apparently according to Wikepedia ( I frankly don't have the time to spend trawling legal sites for every state - maybe the US needs some National Laws on at least some basic issues ???):

United States

Laws are determined at the state level. Many U.S. states explicitly outlaw sex with animals (sometimes under the term of "sodomy" or "unnatural crime against nature"). Others do not.



Many U.S. state laws against sodomy were repealed or struck down by the courts in Lawrence v. Texas, which ruled that perceived moral disapproval on its own was an insufficient justification for banning a private act.


On the other hand, the 2004 conviction of a man in Florida (State vs. Mitchell) demonstrated that even in states with no specific laws against zoophilia acts, animal cruelty statutes would instead be applied. Similarly, in 2011 a Shelby, Ohio zoophile who regularly had sex with his dogs was arrested and charged with animal cruelty, even though there are no laws specifically prohibiting bestiality in Ohio. An incident similar to the Shelby incident occurred in Metairie, Louisiana in 2012.

Zoosexual activity (bestiality) is officially illegal in 37 states. Zoosexual activity is a misdemeanor in the 20 states listed below:



Alaska
Arkansas
California

Colorado
Connecticut
Florida

Iowa
Kansas
Louisiana

Maryland
Maine
Minnesota

Missouri
Nebraska
New York

North Dakota
Oregon
Pennsylvania

Utah
Wisconsin


Zoosexual activity (bestiality) is a felony in the 17 states listed below:



Arizona
Delaware
Georgia

Idaho
Illinois
Indiana

Massachusetts
Michigan
Mississippi

North Carolina
Oklahoma
Rhode Island

South Carolina
South Dakota
Tennessee

Virginia
Washington


Two states have or had broad statutes which also covered zoophilia that have been challenged successfully in state courts on constitutional grounds: Montana and North Carolina. In North Carolina, the court ruled that the law was not unconstitutional on its face and could be applied constitutionally in some circumstances; the unconstitutionality of its application in that case was wholly unrelated to bestiality. As of 2012 a repeal of the NC law is being considered in the North Carolina Senate. The anti-zoosexual law in Montana has been unenforceable in Montana since 1997. Zoosexual acts are still illegal in Kansas due to a sodomy law. In the District of Columbia, a law against zoophilia (listed under "sodomy") was repealed.

Bestiality is a felony in Puerto Rico and is illegal in the U.S. Virgin Islands.

*Bestiality is prohibited in Louisiana and North Carolina because of crime against nature laws.


In Connecticut, "sexual assault in the fourth degree" (which includes bestiality) is normally a misdemeanor. However, if the subject is under sixteen years old, the penalty is a felony. It is likely that the Connecticut age requirement (and associated felony penalty) only applies when human minors are involved, and not non-human animals.


I find it odd that a lot of laws are made under the same format as "sodomy" when I would have thought ( not that I know anything about it) a lot of bestiality involves vaginal intercourse.

The stuff above shows how the laws vary from one State to another though with little to no coherence of thought. No National Policies and quite a few States who seem to be missing on the list too.

And thank goodness for that because Mooseketeer's first post was outstanding.

The topic does fall under "other controversies". Though I can't say I know anyone who is even remotely interested in doing odd things with animals and the topic certainly doesn't come up during bible study, it didn't even come up in the Powerball line, so I was quite amused that the thread was even started. But not a teeny bit surprised considering who started it as he seems to have the inside scoop on these sorts of topics. And handy links! Didn't look at this one. Creepy yech stuff I don't need in my brain.

I must say I opened this thread hoping the "next frontier" was colonizing the Moon. Alas, no. At least not according to the OP. Curses! Foiled again!

In relations amongst humans, 'consent' is the difference between sex and rape. Or do you not think there's a difference?

Not sure he actually "thinks" at all but it seems to me that his views on sex are so skewed he has some obvious issues in that department... Being that obsessed about people's sex lives and spending that much time ruminating about it implies a certain deficiency or an abnormal fixation.

Maybe sex is so dirty to him , the only way to justify talking about it is to froth himself into hysteria and rave and rant.

It is a form of voyeurism by proxy I suppose to sit in judgement and peek behind the curtains of people's lives, like a peeping Tom too ashamed to adit to being a sexual being, but still wishing to obtain some kind of satisfaction. Prurient and deeply disturbing and quite abnormal IMO. It verges on the pathological. Actually cross that out, it IS pathological.

To infinity and beyond hey ! I must admit sending some posters into orbit or even finding them a nice big black hole is rather appealing.If there is life out there let them deal with the problem... We have suffered enough.
