Why do I just know this guy was a freeper?

The Animal in You
With Bestiality About to Become a Felony in Washington State, Charles Mudede Looks Back at the Crime that Shocked the World
BY CHARLES MUDEDE

Some laws come directly from God. There is a thunderbolt, the smoke clears, and there they are, the Commandments on a stone tablet.

Most laws, however, do not have their origin in God but in man, which is the case with the law that will soon ban bestiality in the State of Washington. The man who inspired the creation of this earthly commandment is Kenneth Pinyan, a Boeing engineer, who, according to a King County Examiner's report, died on July 2, 2005, due "to acute peritonitis perforation of the sigmoid colon during anal intercourse with a horse."

If Pinyan hadn't died in that sensational manner, it is safe to say that fucking animals would continue to be one of the many pleasures that a citizen of this state is free to enjoy—just as long as he or she doesn't harm the animal in the process. For it was only after Pinyan died, when law enforcement looked for a way to punish his associates, that the legality of bestiality in Washington State became an issue and a punch line. Absent Pinyan's staggering sacrifice, the fact that there was no law prohibiting the coupling of man and beast would have never surfaced.

1. Ow.

[skooooo]

2. And you want us to say what about this?

[The Straight Story]

3. I guess no one will be screwing condi (n/t)

[Teaser]

4. The animals were asking for it.

What with their short skirts and sassy walks.

[Nitrogenica]

5. That'll make those Righties think twice.

All these Rightie churches talking about what leads to bestiality makes me wonder about them.

[MadMaddie]

6. This guy should be on Darwins Awards page.....

It is so ridiculous that a law has to be passed to tell people not to fuck around with animals.....

[The Straight Story]

9. What next, banning blow up sheep? (nt)

[MuseRider]

7. HE was doing what?

Sorry, I have helped breed mares and there is no way in hell being that close to an aroused stallion is even sane, let alone what he was doing with it. Just standing next to them and holding their lead rope is asking for trouble.

Couldn't this just fall under the heading of animal abuse?

[A-Possum]

16. Yikes

Gee, and my vet says I have to clean my horse's sheath. Now I have an excuse not to do it--I might be arrested!

I must say, they claim there's a video but I'm with you, I have to wonder how the guys didn't get trampled. Are we sure this isn't some kind of hoax perpetrated by the town police?

[MuseRider]

30. LOL

I have my vet do that! I have to have him to get the West Nile and the Rabies so I just add that in while he is there.

[madeline_con]

39. Jumpin Jehosephet!

What?

"... how the guys didn't get trampled ..."

You mean there's a GROUP of these wackos runnig amok?!

[mitchtv]

17. depends on what he looks like

Sorry I couldn't resist that set up

[LisaL]

19. It obviously didn't fall under animal abuse, since they had

to charge the guy with trespassing.

[ThomWV]

8. The end of a Western Traditon

And we call this progress .....

[Cobalt Violet]

10. No more Human/ Animal Hybrids?

Damn!

[MadMaddie]

11. Bwhahaw..haw..haw...

:rofl: :rofl:

[MissB]

14. I think you meant hee haw hee haw

[madeline_con]

12. Two points....

1)The human gene pool is better off without this guy, just in case there are hereditary factors involved in this sort of behavior.

2) I see a homophobic preparation for support to ban gay marriage. It's sort of in the vein with the way gay-bashers think. Horses will start marrying people if that thing goes through! (gasp)

[mitchtv]

22. Can you imagine, being turned down?

by a jackass?

[madeline_con]

34. I want to know how the guy got him hot to begin with.

Yes, these are questions that must be answered. :evilgrin:

[Generic Brad]

13. My Pet Goat

There ought to be a law against coupling with animals. Think of the kids.

[madeline_con]

35. That was Baaaad. LOL!

[seabeyond]

15. need to go to jawjaw and talk to the good ole farm boys. i hear

that all the farm boys do it

so says a fundamentalist minister? representitive?

[Viva_La_Revolution]

18. Yea! save the poor little bunnies!

I been drinkin, and it's the first thing that came to mind. I apologize.

[DearAbby]

20. Is Bestiality widespread in Washington State

to where they JUST HAVE TO create a law against it?

:shrug:

[TahitiNut]

33. Only east of the Cascades.

:evilgrin: Pinyan was obviously a stranger in a straaaange land.

[madeline_con]

36. I love this thread!!

:rofl:

[f-bush]

21. I live Washington State and......

....I heard rumors that the guy was a right winger!

[mitchtv]

24. true or not

It figures

[Generic Other]

28. one of the stranger articles in The Stranger

The first article I read that explained the exact nature of the crime. Very disturbing that he bought property across the bridge intending to move here. Too close to home for me. Why do perverts always want to move here??

[f-bush]

31. Thats why I love the Stranger.

Great alternative paper. BTW I know you generic other we have met at some of the vigils at First United Methodist Church.-Mike C

[madeline_con]

38. Well, what he was doing didn't scream "progressive". eom

[Mikimouse]

23. That law has also been changed in Texas...

A few years ago, it was mandatory, but now it is a matter of individual choice. AND, before any of the Texophiles even think about knee-jerking me, I spent the vast majority of my life in east Texas, so get a sense of humor.

[madeline_con]

40. So, you can or can't in TX? n/t

[IntravenousDemilo]

25. Exactly how do you get fucked by a horse?

Obviously Pinyan was catching, but how do you make the horse pitch unless he really wants to? I can see how it's possible with the horse bottoming, but not the other way around.

[MissB]

26. I really don't need a picture for this one.

I mean, I prefer not to have one. Nope. I prefer to remain mystified.

[fortyfeetunder]

27. If you really want to know. --there is a video

Apparently there was an accomplice who recorded the deed. Even though the cops thought they had the only copy, there is a copy still floating around the internet.

[InvisibleTouch]

37. I'm puzzled by that myself.

I mean, it's hard enough just to get two animals of the same species to copulate (having just gone through this with my dogs, with much aggravation) - but how on earth do you get a horse or any other non-human animal to be amorous toward a human? No, I'm not asking for a "how to" ... I'm just baffled by it.

Personally, I think the guy got what was coming to him.

[Cleita]

43. Well, sometimes male dogs don't have a problem with your leg.

Just thought I would throw that in.

[Cleita]

44. Seriously, I consider bestiality animal abuse. I think laws

addressing it aren't weird.

[AlienGirl]

49. I agree

Humans have a position of absolute power over animals in their care, even more so than adults have over children, and that in itself makes it unethical, regardless of absence of pain or injury to the animal.

[fortyfeetunder]

54. Not just male dogs

I knew of a female dog (definitely female, had two litters) who had a penchant for humping a leg.

[madeline_con]

41. Gives new meaning to the term "posting". n/t

[f-bush]

42. Actually from what I heard...

it was the horse that was raped. It was nonconsensual and the horse fought back!

[AlienGirl]

48. What I heard sounded like the horse was enjoying it

Though I think it's pretty clear that animals are not consenting equals, they usually do enjoy sex. That doesn't make it right, though--even if there is no physical force, the human's position of absolute power over the animal renders the act unethical.

And...YUCK. :puke:

Tucker

[f-bush]

53. I agree...

my sentiments exactly-I was being sarcastic when I wrote the post you responded to-Mike C

[frustrated_lefty]

55. Mare scent?

[simonm]

29. OMFG!

I'm not sure if I should laugh my ass off or respond with disgust. Them folks should lay off the moonshine over ther'.

[regnaD kciN]

51. You might want to rephase that...

I'm not sure if I should laugh my ass off or respond with disgust.

Well, as long as all you're doing with your ass is laughing... :evilgrin:

[Wheres The Beef]

32. Punch lines

Okay old guys, you all remember the jokes.

Ya, but we ride the horse into town to the whorehouse.
or Sure, but you had to pick the ugly one.

[Rainscents]

45. When this first happened here, it was headline news in all station!

I didn't know how to react as I couldn't imagine how the man could possibility do it in the first place.

[Katherine Brengle]

46. Um, first of all, EW. 2nd, doesn't the Bible speak to this? I think it

does...

But anyway, I don't think anyone has the right to essentially rape an animal (re: as long as it doesn't injure the animal bs). How ridiculous...

[NMMNG]

50. Leviticus 18:23

23 " 'Do not have sexual relations with an animal and defile yourself with it. A woman must not present herself to an animal to have sexual relations with it; that is a perversion.

[regnaD kciN]

52. Yes, it's against God's will...

If a man is going to have sex with a horse, it better be a female horse! :evilgrin:

[AlienGirl]

47. Freepers All Move To Idaho... (the rest of the headline!)

[Cleita]

56. How about Utah. Idaho is a beautiful state that I would like

to seen turn liberal. On the other hand Utah is already a state that has a theocracy and 99% white people already in place. They should love it.

[undeterred]

57. So will they throw your ass in jail too if you get caught?

Sorry, couldn't resist. :)
