What $50 can get ya

A Seattle man has discovered his 15 minutes of fame the hard way. He died. Now, for most, that is not enough to make some headlines. He had a better go at it than just dying. The coroners office for the Enumclaw, WA area said that evidently "the death was accidental and the result of having sex with a horse."

Damn.

There is no mention of the condition of the horse, but I figure that the horse is feeling pretty good about having taken another rapist out of action. Now, the farm where this little romantic encounter took place is not under indictment currently because having sex with animals is not a crime in Washington State. In fact, only 33 of the 50 States have a law against that sort of thing. Evidently, if humans are not your thing, there are internet chat rooms where you can get details about where you can arrange a love tryst with a farm animal of some kind. I somehow doubt that the applicant takes a personality profile test to match on 29 areas of compatibility to find his ideal mate, but for every market, legal or otherwise, there is always a supplier. What the farm owners are being investigated for is animal cruelty. Gee, I guess I cannot argue too much with that. It does seem strange to me that there are states out there where screwing the livestock is legal.

I have to admit I am a bit conflicted about the legal situation. On the one hand, I simply cannot imagine that the animals on this farm like the results of this web enterprise. That is bad. On the other, evidently, Darwinism can work in this arena as well. For those that would rape a horse, Darwinism is a good thing. I admit to being curious about just how this horse took her rapist down, and then again I guess it is a kindness to humanity to not be very explicit about that either. The one thing that I hope is that however it happened, it hurt him like hell, because, it seems, he hurt more than the horse's feelings. Did he bring the wrong kind of flowers to his date? Maybe the horse just did not like the restaurant he took her to before 'going back to her pad?' Maybe she was just not that kind of horse? The answers to these and other important questions may never be known. The horse is still not talking to reporters.

I have read about places in Africa where you can be executed if you are caught doing something like that. Hell, most of the time they see it as being the result of demonic possession and the execution is more akin to a mercy killing. In the case of bestiality I am not too far from that myself. Humans have brought disease to the rest of humanity for centuries just because they get horny and bored. It defies the imagination to think how farmer Bill gets randy out in the south 40 and happens to look over at one of his sheep and suddenly she looks like a supermodel. Yet, it happens all the time all around the world. Many millions of people (not to mention the animals that have had to endure a horny farmer Bill) have suffered as a result. At least this time one of the animals was able to set things right.
