A Minnesota man is charged with having his way with a deer, but he claims it was just venison, the Superior Daily Telegram reports:
Bryan James Hathaway, 20, of Superior faces a misdemeanor charge of sexual gratification with an animal. He is accused of having sex with a dead deer he saw beside Stinson Avenue on Oct. 11.
A motion filed last week by his attorney, public defender Fredric Anderson, argued that because the deer was dead, it was not considered an animal and the charge should be dismissed.
The Smoking Gun has Hathaway's mug shot and a copy of the complaint, which states:
Defining animal to include carcasses would lead to absurd results. At what point of decompose would the carcass cease being an animal? Would picked-over skeletal remains still meet the definition? At death, an animal ceases to be an animal. As Billy Crystal noted in The Princess Bride (1987), "There's a big difference between mostly dead and all dead."
The Telegram quotes Judge Michael Lucci, who is considering the motion: "I’m a little surprised this issue hasn’t been tackled before in another case." Yeah, we're sure this sort of thing comes up all the time up there.

Don't know if I agree with that. From The Smoking Gun:
Hathaway, who previously has served time for killing a horse he intended to sexually assault,
This boy needs to be held over for an in-depth mental exam. Sounds like a future Ed Gein.
You catch on fast. Yeah it's sick. I don't think I'll be rushing to sign up and read the details.
Could this be what Lyndon Bird Johnson had in mind when he launched the Great Society?
Here's another article that won't go away this week, though it is more interesting than the guy with one nut.
This was on yesterday, and it was pulled.
Hey, it's not his first offense either. From the full article in the Duluth News Tribune:
"The misdemeanor charge carries a maximum penalty of nine months in jail and a fine of up to $10,000. If convicted, Hathaway could serve a prison term of up to two years because of a previous conviction. In April 2005, Hathaway pleaded no contest to one felony charge of mistreatment of an animal for the shooting death of Bambrick, a 26-year-old horse, to have sex with the animal."

Yeah but did he have/purchase a deer tag for sex.
New law coming soon.
From Minnesota, getting a piece of whitetail in Wisconsin.
OK, almost shot my drink out my nose on that one...
I guess that defense sounded better than "Oh, come on, it IS rutting season".
Anybody want to bet his shyster is *not* a DimoPerv?
You would think that it would have stunk so bad that he couldn't have done what he did. He's a total pervert, and a disgusting one at that!
kinda like a train wreck aint it?
MY EYYEEEESSSSSS......!
That makes me want to barf! That just had to be one nasty lay. LOL!
Some people would just drive on, thinking oh well. Others might stop to see if were still alive. But our boy has completely different thoughts.
Now seriously, who is gonna see a dead deer and think "Boy, that sure looks good, um hmmm"? Just damn.
Ya' know what they say about venison.....
You can't beat the meat....
You bag it,
You shag it.
