SEATTLE -- King County sheriff's detectives are investigating possible animal cruelty at a farm near Enumclaw that apparently has attracted "a significant number of people" to have sex with animals, a sheriff's spokesman said Thursday.
The investigation was launched this month after authorities discovered the July 2 death of a man who suffered internal bleeding after engaging in anal sex with a horse at the farm, Sgt. John Urquhart said.
Authorities are not releasing the man's identity because the King County medical examiner has ruled his death accidental. The victim was in his 40s, Urquhart said.
Investigators have interviewed several people in connection with the case, which was brought to authorities' attention after the man was dropped off at a hospital for medical treatment. A surveillance camera picked up the license plate of the car, which led sheriff's detectives to the farm and other people involved, Urquhart said.
Bestiality is not illegal in Washington state.
"Just sex with an animal per se, you'd have to prove some sort of animal cruelty out of that and that's why we've got more investigating to do," Urquhart said.
"A significant number of people, we believe, have likely visited this farm," he said, declining to specify a number while the investigation continues.

Ewww....
Wait...that was not emphatic enough...
EWWWWWW
Wilburrrr
As best I can tell, he was on the receiving end.
Not a bright lad there.
Well, at least one guy got what he deserved.
That would be WORSE than beastiality!
Another DNC convention?
"Faunaphilia?"
Good night everyone! I have officially seen it all. I have reached the end of the internet. That's the bottom.
P.S.: Just dayum.
Awaiting the Fire and Brimstone any time now...
Got what he deserved? Death for a little horsing around
The receiving end of anal sex with a horse? OMG!!!
Now thats real abuse!!! WOW thats ugly!
Faunaphilia is the proper term for it.
Latin. Fauna being animal, philia being love of. Just like pedophilia is love of the young. And yeah, it's sick.
She's gotta face like a blind cobbler's thumb.
"As best I can tell, he was on the receiving end."
UUHHHHHGGGG
"As best I can tell, he was on the receiving end.
Not a bright lad there."
That's what I thought at first too, but its kinda hard to believe. Maybe he was the "pitcher" and the horse kicked him?
"Just sex with an animal per se, you'd have to prove some sort of animal cruelty out of that and that's why we've got more investigating to do," Urquhart said.
How could it not be abuse of animals? Was the horse hitting on them? What are they going to do? Question the horse? 'Uh, Thunder, was is good for you? Were you coerced or forced against your wishes?' Puh-lease.
"A significant number of people, we believe, have likely visited this farm," he said, declining to specify a number while the investigation continues.
Let me guess, since it's Seattle, they all work at Starbucks, if at all? Cancelling my travel plans...
Yes, I know the language sources. But the move is on, I think, to relabel the act from "bestiality" (a well-known term that invokes revulsion almost universally) to "faunaphilia" (a term that is not well know and thus can be "marketed" differently).
Oh fer Pete's sake. This is just down the road from my place. Just yuck.
