Careful Pam… keep up that animal rights rhetoric, and the FBI might label you a “terrorist.” It’s in the P-I:
Reports on an animal cruelty investigation at a farm near Enumclaw show Washington state needs a law against bestiality, state Sen. Pam Roach says.
Roach, R-Auburn, said Monday she plans to introduce legislation that would make it a Class C felony to have sex with an animal, punishable by as much as five years in prison and a $10,000 fine.
Hmm. I’m guessing Pam didn’t grow up on a farm in Georgia?
Of course, Pam has a long history of advocating against animal cruelty… which I suppose explains why a little more than two years after 63% of voters approved an initiative banning the cruel use of bait and hounds to hunt black bears and cougars, Pam testified in support of a House bill that would have allowed it. (Which, by the way, is yet another example of right-wing defenders of the initiative process honoring the “will of the people” only when the people agree with them.)
UPDATE:
Hey… nice catch by reader David, who noticed that HB 1012 included an emergency clause. Yeah, that’s right… hunting bears and cougars with bait and dogs was an emergency. What a bunch of hypocrites.
Goldy,
But, who will take a stand (so to speak) for the watermelons?
“Roach, R-Auburn, said Monday she plans to introduce legislation that would make it a Class C felony to have sex with an animal, punishable by as much as five years in prison and a $10,000 fine.”
This is gonna break up a lot of couples where one partner is a Republican.
I was entertained by reading the House bill report Goldy linked to. Some very amusing testimony:
On dogs vs. cats: “Hounds are necessary because they instill fear in cougar.” “A cougar attacked our dog on our porch step and did not run away until beat with a shoe.”
We don’t need to hunt cougars and bears, we just need to teach our dogs to hunt cougars and bears: “dogs need practice hunting or they will lose their ability.”
Really, we just want to chase them down and take pictures: “Not all animals that are pursued are killed, many are photographed.”
Also, many of HA’s righty readers will love the fact that: “The bill contains an emergency clause and takes effect immediately.”
We could use a few of those 63% out at my place because the cougars are now coming out of the hills and they are HUNGRY!!!
The voters be damned. Some of us are rather susceptible to be torn apart and “wiped out” by bears. . . . http://www.charmin.com/chm_gateway.htm
What is the point of making stupid, aberrant behavior a felony? Do we really want to spend our state resources (tax money) on this? Sheesh.

Yeah, it gets lonely in those sparsely populated eastern Washington precincts — just ask the horses, cows, goats, and sheep.
“Washington state needs a law against bestiality, state Sen. Pam Roach says.”
No. Washington State needs a constitutional amendment defining “beastiality” as between a man and a woman.
Charmin — “because it’s keen to be clean!”
Amend horses out of this as the ole pony in Enumclaw appears to have managed the situation without legislation by Pam.
Goldy…
This seems like kind of a weak and pointless criticism of Roach. Who here thinks beastiality should remain legal? Anybody?
Yes, Roach is a republican sponsoring a bill that we can make locker-room jokes about. What of it?

If the Enumclaw case was animal cruelty, then why is there a videotape showing the horse smoking a cigarette afterward *and promising to call the guy in the morning?
I find the liberal support for bestiality touching. Perhaps you could get Larry Flynt as a spokesperson. Start the North American Mankind-Animal Love Association (NAMALA), then socialize it, run bestiality bordellos along I-90 and use the revenue to fund teaching it to public school children. Wait, it just occurred to me you might be taking me seriously. Never mind.
Doug @12,
Um… who the hell has come out in support of bestiality?
Dammit, all it takes is one dumbass getting caught (granted, after he was dead) to ruin it all for the rest of us!

I find right-wing liars (see 12) less touching. These fucking liars lie about every fucking thing under the fucking sun.*

Now I KNOW you’re taking me seriously.

I think you got something there Doug. Hey it cant hurt. They have plenty of time since they dont teach math or reading. Oh well they can still get a job with King County Records and Elections.
I am aware of only one animal fucker, and he is a far right wing republican.

I bet you know a lot of nacrophiliacs though…. I understand… you got to keep your constituents happy.
RUFUS @ 19 “you got to keep your constituents happy”
Last I checked I didn;t have any constituents. And I am not even sure what a “nacrophiliac” is. Sleep disorder?
Must be the paint fumes talking.
Donna– ah shit your right. The word is necrophiliac. I just was not familiar with the word.

Now you’re talking about somebody who fucks dead bodies. Bleccch. That’s way too much like fucking a Republican:
He: Oh, did I hurt you, dear?
She: No, why do you ask?
He: You moved.
RUFUS: Your humor was way above the likes of don*****don. Don*****don needs help understanding strange sex acts. Don*****don, last I checked Enumclaw is a city where most lefties congregate; you know like Seattle, Everett, Tacoma, Spokane, etc.
RR: There is a double entendre with your name and what you say about furry animals. What do you know about sex with Republicans? Are some of your furry friends right thinking? Are you projecting what it would be like to have sex with a real forward thinking person instead of inbreeding with lefties?
Will the proposed beastiality law cover insects? Such as roaches? Such as Pam Roach? I have an idea. Why not ask our legislators to deal with serious issues such as closing our state’s 400 tax loopholes?
Sen Roach has overlooked a far more serious problem. One that threatens to destroy the very fabric of life as we know it in these United States. Namely: the ever-increasing numbers of people who are burning flags while engaging in sex with animals. This shocking and dangerous behavior is not only taking place in rural areas but in our cities and suburbs as well, all across our great land, and is approaching epidemic proportions. That the Senator seems to have overlooked these aberatto
Gray
Correction:
Aberatto????
That the Senator seems to have overlooked these aberrations, is unfortunate in the extreme.
First of all, the horse was the one having a ball…..
Not that it isn’t wrong moraly and anyone who needs to get it from a horse ought to be pretty insane. I live 20 minutes from enumclaw and I would have never thought it was possible. It totaly grosses me out!
Well Maybe we can organize a bestiality march and in like 10 year fight to legalize animal human marriage while we’re at it. The huge problem I have with it is not only is it totally nauseating, but lets just think of all the new STD’s that will be formed I mean hell herpes came from sheep so lets see what kind of stuff we can muster up into our highly sexually active lives, as if hepatitis C and syphlis aren’t previllent enough in our adolescents’ lives. If it is not animal cruelty it is destruction of humanity and a health hazard. Do you think that somebody who’s been having sex with an animal is going to tell you about it before they have sex with you or your daughter or son? Hell no they wouldn’t so why should this not be illegal? Aside from it being totally sick, if you have to hide or lie about it, it’s wrong and should therefore be illegal. Like Drugs. Like murder. Like screwing animals or letting them screw you.

I wear my boots two sizes too big (room for two)and wear a kilt (cause the sheep can hear a zipper a mile away). I’m knittin up a pair of velcro gloves right now. Fuck that guy for ruin’n it for everyone!
Seriously how many retarded fucks fuck fucking barnyard animals in fucking enumclaw or any other fucking place. Don’t waste a fucking dollar on these dirty fucks. Lets worry about getting rid of these fucking child molesters and rapists (I don’t care how severe the course). Make the greater goal humanity not animal rights.
Roach allowing the use of dogs for the population control of dangerous wild animals. D-a-n-g-e-r-o-u-s.
Is all right with me. (Better safe than eaten.)
