Perhaps the Garden State should switch its nickname to the Barnyard State.

A New Jersey judge has dismissed animal cruelty charges against a cop accused of committing a sex act with cows, saying a grand jury had no way of knowing whether the animals were "tormented."

Moorestown police officer Robert Melia, who is currently suspended, allegedly stuck his penis in the mouths of five calves in Southampton in 2006. Since New Jersey currently has no law explicitly banning such an act, prosecutors in Burlington county brought animal cruelty charges against Melia, the Philadelphia Daily News reports.

"If the cow had the cognitive ability to form thought and speak, would it say, 'Where's the milk? I'm not getting any milk,'" Judge James J. Morley reportedly said.

Judge Morely said ultimately, it was highly questionable that Melia's acts, though "disgusting," constituted animal cruelty.

"I'm not saying it's OK," the Philadelphia Daily News quotes Judge Morely as saying. "This is a legal question for me. It's not a questions of morals. It's not a question of hygiene. It's not a question of how people should conduct themselves."

The dismissal reportedly irked the prosecution.

"I think any reasonable juror could infer that a man's penis in the mouth of a calf is torment," a Burlington County assistant prosecutor, Kevin Morgan, said. "It's a crime against nature."

>>> "Sorry, city boy here. What does the calf do?" Bangs its head into the udder to kick-start the flow again. Hard.

That's why I'm surprised at this nasty dude. I wasn't even thinking about the teeth. How's he blocking the shots?

Must be quite a man, LOL. If he's a quantity over quality guy, no wonder his girlfriend is putting him out to pasture!

I’m surprised he hasn’t tried to milk a bull.
