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.

I believe in a Liberal state it is spelled ewe!
Well there is that story, hopefully apocryphal, about Catherine the Great, a horse, and a terrible winch accident...
I always wondered what those DU folks did in their spare time.
Mr. Ed is gay? Who woulda thunk it.
Umm, I added the faunaphilia tag, Seattle Pi didn't. Apologies. Didn't mean to start a debate over it.
I just obsess over diction sometimes. Call it whatever you like, though, sex with animals is sick.

Moral Absolutes Ping.
I REALLLY, REALLY don't want to ping this to you. Don't read it if you're not in the mood to be utterly disgusted.
One of the worst things is that apparently the most they can be accused of is "animal cruelty". What about "having disgusting sex with animals" and then public caning?
It's getting beyond insane. If there are no moral absolutes, then everything previously considered immoral is now good, and the only "wrong" is to adhere to said moral absolutes.
So, dear friends, WE are the bad ones now.
Freepmail me if you want on/off this pinglist.
Note: Public pain and public shame. It's the only suitable punishment for crimes like this.
Oh, that is baaaaaaad.
Hmmmmm...
Aw, Hell! Now I wish I hadn't read the replies. I figured the horse just got angry and kicked the fellow. It never occured to me that the delicately-phrased "internal injuries" could have happened some other way.
This is not a modern thing. Scottish ewes have walked in fear since time immemorial...
LOL!!
I bet Mr Ed was going blind from using his hoofs!
But there wasn't the ACLU in those days trying to defend and normalize evil practices.
I don't think he was on the receiving end. I have spent a lot of time with stallions and I can't think of anything that would induce a stallion to mate with a human. I can't even envision any way to introduce a stallion's penis into a man's rectum.
It's much more likely that he was trying to do a mare and she kicked him. Mares do that. They will often kick the poop out of a stallion who approaches them. Hence, at a serious breeding farm the mares have to be hobbled and restrained to keep them from kicking a valuable breeding stallion. Likely this jerk climbed up on a stepladder behind the mare and she put a pair of hooves into his midsection. That can kill quite easily.
Know why the Scottish wear Kilts?
Sheep can hear zippers
Maybe if you have any veterinary or zoological training/knowledge/experience you can confirm this for me:
I am under the impression that all mammalian males are quite dependent on female pheromones (in females of their own species) for successful mating. In other words, if the pheromones are not there is sufficient concentration, the male may possibly attempt to mount, but cannot penetrate and cannot ejaculate.
This would suggest that male mammals (1) do not mate with females of significantly divergent species (2)can not mate with other males (so-called animal homosexuality) and (3) rarely or never successfully mate with a female that is not sexually mature and in estrus.
When I say "successfully mate" I mean a completed act of coitus: erection, mounting, penetration, deposit of semen.
Homo sapiens is probably the only exception to this pattern, because our mating is more conditioned on social and psyhological factors, and our minds and wills can dominate our raw instincts.
Is this accurate?
You ain't real familar with the habits of gerbil-herders, are ya?
(and neither am I, but my ex-wife worked in a couple doctor's offices)
After hearing some of their ER stories-nothing these deviants try to do suprises me anymore...
