"Good news, Buddy - we can finally ditch the b*tch!"

"Seriously... Does anyone really think screwing a dog deserves a 20 yr sentence? As bizzare as it may be, does it even deserve a 2-1/2 yr sentence or a $5000 fine?"
Well, swap out 'dog' with 'child' or 'sister' and ask the same question.
Shouldn't our government have more important things to worry about? If the act harms the animal, then it is already well-covered by animal cruelty laws. If it doesn't harm the animal, who cares what some weirdos do with their dogs? It's not like most of the people doing this are going to be caught, so having a law against it at all will have little effect on the incidence. They should just nullify the law completely.
The notion of spending hundreds of thousands of dollars of taxpayer funds to convict and incarcerate somebody for this, is as disgusting as the act itself. There are tens of thousands of severely abused children in this country, with a skimpy crew of poorly trained social workers barely making a dent in locating and helping them. Wouldn't the hundreds of thousands of dollars be better spent on tackling that problem? You know, a REAL problem?
Why should this thread be pulled ? It's the Massachusetts State Legislature, for crying out loud!
I found it quite disturbing but par for the slippery slope.
Just another gay day in Romneyland.
I wish state legislatures would be silent about it. There are only a few thousand more important matters that they ought to be spending their time on.
May I wager on the Episcopalians?
How long until the Mass Supreme Court finds a constitutional right to #### your pet?
Shouldn't a dog's consent be signed and notarized to ensure that the man didn't refuse to take "no" for an answer?
Seriously, PETA and the various perversion lobbies all belong to the left, and the left seldom criticizes fellow leftists. Thus, homosexuals don't really have a major stake in abortion, but they adamantly support it in return for the abortionists' support for gay rights.
Probably within the year.
Yeah, I agree, twenty years is excessive, but who decided that the bestiality lobby was owed a favor?
Just mind boggling.
Is necrophilia still illegal in Massachusetts? That's a pretty archaic law. Besides, who is the victim?
Bestiality threads usually end up getting pulled just as they get a little rambunctious (see my tagline). Considering the MA State Legislature is involved, though, I guess there is something in it more disturbing than bestiality.
Zoophobia!!!

Um... PING
gives new meaning to the phrase "doggie do"
What's your point? As with most issues where you could "swap out 'dog' with 'child' or 'sister' and ask the same question", the opposite answer results. Should it be legal to take your dog to the vet to be euthanized after it bit the baby? Yes. Should it be legal to take your 4 year old child to the doctor to be euthanized because he bit the baby? No.
If that lobby -- along with the rest of us -- were getting a favor out of this, it would be the complete repeal of the law.
What's my point?
Did you even read what I was responding to?
If you don't get it, then you didn't read it.
PETA's appearent stance is don't eat or experiment on animals, but if you need a date......
