Thanks for ruining my lunch, BTW. I was having some oatmeal with... blueberries.
Ouch! “Hey they’re SMOKING!!!!”
By any standard, this would be cruel and unusual.
Upon hearing the news, Bill Clinton screamed and then fainted.
“You then spray them with iodine and throw them back in the pen.”
Clinton would have put some ice on it first. I bet those hogs really love you.
Castration for sex offenders is fine by me - just start it a little higher, say, just below the chin!
Option????
I am just not so sure that castration will work, for I knew a man that was castrated because of cancer, and he could still take a shot of testostrone. He divorced his wife, and got him another one.

Dang! Bobby Jindal and now this? I’m moving to Louisiana! Get the mudbugs ready!
So, we castrate someone who turns out later to be completely innocent as some so called sex offenders have been proved recently with DNA results. We don’t need to mutilate people. Killing them for raping AND killing, yes, castration, no. Why not just bring back the Iron Maiden and the Rack also? I believe in the death penalty, I don’t believe in mutilation of anyone, even low life rapists.
I know. I was trying to make a slightly sarcastic but serious comment though.
What about the equal protection clause of the Constitution? How would one say that a punishment that can only be carried out on males be Constitutional?
Execution is unconstitutional for sexual offenses.
I don't do it for the hog's enjoyment or mine. It makes them grow faster. I could care less the hog's opinion on the matter, anymore than I would care about the perverts opinion.
The great state of Oklahoma tried something similar many years ago, and the SCOTUS said “No”.
Well, the article says this would be for second time offenders, so I doubt your scenario would play out.
yes...same thought, if it has a penis, then it is at fault...
it will never happen even in that state.
Chemical castration doesn’t work 100% of the time. I can’t find an article on it but I seem to remember a sex offender who was released still receiving the shots and raped a boy.
I didn’t know the SCOTUS ruled on the scrotum.
“T’was the night of the King’s castration, all the counts, viscounts, and no-accounts were camel-dunging around in the courtyard, for horse***t was then unknown....”
Anyway, all I’ll say is there are some crimes for which castration should be ONLY the beginning of retribution.
