Here in Florida they have come up with yet another new law. Sheesh I guess there is no place for the strange and twisted.
Wednesday, April 16, 2008
TALLAHASSEE — Animals could be safer under a bill being passed by a Senate committee that would punish people who sexually abuse them.
Law enforcement officers have not been able to charge offenders with a crime because having sex with animals isn't against the law in Florida.
Charges could only be filed if an animal was injured or had been a victim of excessive or repeated infliction of pain. Under those cases the violators are charged with animal cruelty which is a misdemeanor.
Sen. Nan Rich wants to make the sex acts with animals a felony and also make it a felony to photograph or videotape it.
The recent bestiality acts caught by police or deputies involved a pregnant goat. The 48-year-old man who did that is now behind bars for a different livestock crime.
