TALLAHASSEE, Fla. -- Having sex with animals could soon be outlawed in Florida.

The Senate unanimously passed a bill (SB 448) Tuesday that would make it a third degree felony for anyone to have sex with an animal.

In this economy, do they really want to discourage visitors?

[Slings and Arrows]

Poor Helen Thomas - her chances keep getting worse.

[3D-JOY]

This seems so stupid...there must be a need to pass it.

Important things can not get passed...so...the flip side.

I vote for NO MORE LAWS!

I think Rosie O'Donnell lives in Florida.

I think Rosie O'Donnell lives in Florida.

Not for much longer.

[Zack Attack]

What a bunch of speciesists.

[pepsionice]

I think the ACLU will launch a fight here...to protect people’s rights (so they will claim).

The question is...how many states have no laws over sex with animals? I’m betting at least a dozen.

[PeaceBeWithYou]

Animal sex illegal, but is it a crime?

/Napolitano mode off.

[pnut22]

Now you can only look at the gators? Darn.

The Libertarians'll beat them to it.

The 9th circuit court would definitely shoot it down if it was in California.

[Razz Barry]

Janet Reno too.

[shibumi]

If sex with animals is outlawed, from where will they future generations of Democrats?

[Slings and Arrows]

Mexico.

[Caipirabob]

Is that going to impact the tourist industry or something?

[Twinkie]

It says a lot about the morals of any place that has to even think about such absurd stuff. Just the animal cruelty aspect of it should be enough to deter anyone so inclined; one would think PETA would be up in arms about such behavior.

[Sherman Logan]

I’m starting a rumor this is how swine flu is spread.

[Gorzaloon]

Look for the huge rush of marriages!

[Daffynition]

[rfreedom4u]

They must be anima-phobes!

Besides it’s a lifestyle! How dare they question someone’s lifestyle! (sarc)

[Into the Vortex]

No wonder Perez Hilton had to move to Cali.

[grey_whiskers]

When sex with animals is outlawed, only outlaws will have sex with animals.

And what about this mildly NSFW?

Cheers!

I think the ACLU will launch a fight here...to protect people’s rights (so they will claim).

And then they will get activist judges to allow people to marry animals and adopt children together.

The battle of the ages. Between the ACLU protecting people's *rights* and PETA protecting the animals.

[Morgana]

Now if only they would make sex between two men illegal!

[tatsinfla]

i can think of much more serious issues to be dealing with before worrying if someone is running around screwing sheep....its not wonder the country is in the mess it is....

[jeffryweinstock]

Not good enough. The Bible is clear on how we need to with these perverts.

[Slings and Arrows]

The owners of said sheep might feel differently.

[Antoninus]

Fortunately, I think sodomy with animals is still protected under the federal constitution.

A powerful combination: Good manners and belt-fed weaponry.

[a fool in paradise]

In some places, it is only criminal if you (A) watch video of it (obscenity) or (B) do it in public.

[a fool in paradise]

If it is legal to engage in such practice, there will be calls for marriage.

There are people who leave their estates to their pets, and I'm sure there are some who'd like to get their vet bills covered under their insurance plan.

Does ‘Coyote Ugly’ qualify?

Georgia candidate for governor admits to bestiality

In Georgia, the Creators' Rights Party candidate for governor is creating quite a stir by admitting to the fact that he's had sex with a mule, men, and a watermelon, among other things. He has done these things even though he advocates a strongly anti-gay agenda. Here is an excerpt from the candidate, Neal Horsley, appearing on the Alan Colmes Show:

NH: "Hey, Alan, if you want to accuse me of having sex when I was a fool, I did everything that crossed my mind that looked like I…"
AC: "You had sex with animals?"
NH: "Absolutely. I was a fool. When you grow up on a farm in Georgia, your first girlfriend is a mule."
AC: "I'm not so sure that that is so."
NH: "You didn't grow up on a farm in Georgia, did you?"
AC: "Are you suggesting that everybody who grows up on a farm in Georgia has a mule as a girlfriend?"

[a fool in paradise]

Creators’ Rights Party? Is he a Hollyweirdo?

[Slings and Arrows]

Does ‘Coyote Ugly’ qualify?

I'm sure the beer manufacturers' lobby will negotiate an exemption.

[Slings and Arrows]

There’s the next Surgeon-General.

[Hyzenthlay]

Ummm... animal cruelty? The fact that someone in the state legislature heard something about something and said “Wow, that’s sick, we should outlaw it?” As much as you’d like to think otherwise, there are a lot of sickos out there, and bestiality isn’t completely unheard of like some of the other things that have been illegalised in ‘stupid laws’ (like how you can’t tie an alligator to a fire hydrant in some northern city, or it’s illegal to go whaling in some midwestern state).
