NEW BRUNSWICK, N.J. -- A man has been charged with torturing a Rottweiler by sodomizing the dog in what authorities are calling a case of "horrific abuse."
The New Jersey Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals charged Jose Rodriguez on Monday in the alleged sodomy of the female Rottweiler, which is owned by a neighbor.
The abuse took place Dec. 19, SPCA officials said. The 5-year-old dog, named Precious, was examined by a veterinarian before the charges were filed.
A nurse at Banfield Animal Hospital in Woodbridge on Thursday said the dog was brought there two days after the alleged incident and treated and released that day.
Rodriguez, 39, faces six counts of animal cruelty, including the abuse and torture and torment of a living animal, which carry a jail sentence up to six months and up to $6,000 in fines. A court date has been scheduled for Jan. 13.
Rodriguez has an unpublished phone number and efforts to reach him Thursday were unsuccessful.
"This is obviously an uncomfortable case for any law enforcement agency or any rational human being to deal with," said New Jersey SPCA President Stuart Rhodes. "It is my hope that this animal will never be subjected to this horrific abuse ever again."
There are already some liberals who are trying. Pete Singer, an "ethicist" at Princeton University and one of the more influential intellectuals on the Left, has argued that sexual relationships between humans and animals are morally acceptable.
Good grief! That has to be a liberal who wrote this piece!
Where are all the people to defend the guy? When the guys at walmart shot the cat to death with a pellet gun there were many Freepers who said its just an animal therefore it isn't cruelty. Some even said that even if those guys derived pleasure from it, taking that into consideration is banning "thoughts".
Just curious really.
I'd have thunk it would have happened out in the Land O Fruits and Nuts, the Pople's Republik of Kalifornia, the epicenter of LIBTURDISM!
Where are the feminazis on this issue? I'm sure the dog didn't give her consent regarding this union. That would be rape in their eyes. (sarcasm)
Pathetic bastard.
Good point. I live in Tennessee. We really catch it with the stereotypes.
Thats awful. I'm not a radical PETA type of person but I love animals. They are so loving and sweet. Shooting a cat to death with a pellet gun and raping a dog is cruelty. Most animals are very trusting. Thats what makes it so awful to deliberately hurt them.
Bestiality? I can see the ACLU argue interspecies sex is progressive and constitutionally protected.
Disgusting.
Falling under the "right to privacy". They use that one to cover everything that isn't mentioned. Sick pigs. Sorry for the insult to pigs.
"This is obviously an uncomfortable case for any law enforcement agency
Not to mention the poor dog.. Yuck.
I thought this was already legal. They are called muslimes.
This is disgusting.
And talk about living dangerously - I'm amazed that the Rottie didn't take his face off (or something else...).

"Hump Your Goat Today!"
Isn't this common in some states but with sheep and such?
I remember a rumor about a neighbor of mine when I was young......and I still believe it. Weird looking kid that lived on a farm....
It WAS a rottweiler? This guy should be granted a darwin award...he tempted fate...!
"This is obviously an uncomfortable case for any law enforcement agency or any rational human being to deal with,"
- It wasn't very comfortable for Precious either.
