He died doing what?

My mouth dropped, contorting to different looks of astonishment with each paragraph I read.

The Seattle Times reported July 15:

King County sheriff's detectives are investigating the owners of an Enumclaw-area farm after a Seattle man died from injuries sustained while having sex with a horse boarded on the property.

Investigators first learned of the farm after the man died at Enumclaw Community Hospital July 2. The county Medical Examiner's Office ruled that the death was accidental and the result of having sex with a horse.


A horse, you say? No way. How is that even possible?

Apparently, it is, though, and I imagine people who want something badly enough will find a way to get it. Another report says it turns out there are a bunch of video tapes, too.

And apparently, it is not against the law. Who would think we needed a law to ban such acts? I guess we do. Protect the animals from people. Protect people from themselves. That's exactly what state Sen. Pam Roach of Auburn plans to do. She's on it.

Nicole Brodeur wrote a column about it, and she matched my astonishment. It's enough to make you raise an eyebrow and wonder.

This story just won't end. Robert Jamieson, a columnist for the Seattle Post-Intelligencer, wrote an interesting piece against a new law prohibiting bestiality. It's not that we should endorse sex with animals, he says, but that we have bigger issues to deal with. Worth a read.

If the gays and the leftists helping them get their way saying it's unconstitutional to not let same-sex couples marry...20-30 years down the road we'll see folks using the same rhetoric to marry animals and objects. I'm not kidding either.
