Dutch Politicians Want Bestiality Banned

AMSTERDAM (Reuters) - Two Dutch political parties called Wednesday for laws prohibiting sex with animals after a man suspected of having sex with a pony was set free.

Wearing nothing but a T-shirt, the man was arrested by police in Utrecht Monday after the pony's owner caught him by surprise in his stable.

"He was caught in the stable, busy with the pony, and was arrested for animal mistreatment," Mary Hallebeek, a prosecution spokeswoman said.

The prosecutor set him free because there was no evidence of a crime. Dutch law does not prohibit bestiality.

"There were no wounds or traces of violence. The man may have had sex with the animal, but there is no article in law which says this is liable to punishment," Hallebeek said.

Both List Pim Fortuyn and the Socialist Party called for an amendment to the penal code to make bestiality punishable.

"Sex with an animal is a far-reaching infringement of its physical integrity and the animal can never consent to it. It is pure maltreatment and should therefore be punishable," LPF member Joost Eerdmans said in parliament.

Didn't know a horse would fit. I've heard stories of gerbils though.

Yeah. Let them go to San Fran-way-out-yonder-sisco so they can marry.

I think nowadays
"they" want to refer to "it"
as Zoophilia . . .

It did not make any difference if it was a girl pony or a boy pony. It was equal rights. There was no descrimination.

[King Black Robe]

It might behoove you both to feel awfully sheepish after that. Ewe trying to chase us on the lam(b?

[John Thornton]

Let's see Kerry straddle the fence when asked about this issue.

[NavyCaptain]

And then make them stay there!

[Fraulein]

Absolutely sick. Utterly disgusting. So gross. Yes, bestiality should definitely be illegal. A shame, however, that such a law has in fact become necessary. Sheesh, what's wrong with these sickos? Ick! These men are themselves animals, or worse.

First the came for my neighbor's Cockapoo and I did not speak up...because I was porking a setter.

Then they came for my uncle Mike's sheep...but I was spending my time with the poultry.

Then they came for my gerbil...and there was no one left to protest.

Next thing you know the Dutch morality police will be trying to take Howard Stern off the air. It's all Bush's fault!

[TXBSAFH]

The sad part is that we even need a law banning this.

"Sex with an animal is a far-reaching infringement of its physical integrity and the animal can never consent to it. It is pure maltreatment and should therefore be punishable," LPF member Joost Eerdmans said in parliament.

I think they are still missing the point.

[squarebarb]

He will get off with nothing but a fine and be forced to pony up.

Unless the little creature cried "Neigh!"

[tessalu]

Silence is acceptance, don't you know? And they did not even put up a fight.

[BenLurkin]

Samll minded bigots!

/sarcasm

[zbigreddogz]

Beistiality is misunderstood due to years of fear and hate. We should open our arms to our animal loving brotheren and make sure they get the same rights as everyone else, including the right to marry.

[csvset]

No sir, I don't like it.
