In Ohio, believe it or not, it’s legal to sodomize your dog. Or fellate your horse, or otherwise have carnal knowledge of whatever species might arouse your perverse erotic interest. Some members of the Ohio legislature want to pass a law to outlaw bestiality, and the leader of the state’s House Democrats decided to make a few “humorous” remarks about the subject:
“I was appalled,” said [Missy] Houghton, an agent with the Richland County Humane Society. “I do not think this is something that should be laughed at or made into a joke. To me, this bill is a no-brainer that should have been passed. We are one of the few states that do not have a law against bestiality.”
Indeed, and some Republicans suspect that Ohio Democrats are secretly beholden to the North American Man-Dog Love Association. But why bring Sherrod Brown into this? The article in the Manfield News-Journal recounts efforts to apprehend one such deviant:
Peter Bower, 32, was sentenced to community service and two years probation after authorities discovered a history of sexual activity with his 3-year-old shepherd mix, Aurora.
Authorities said previous investigations revealed the dog was not the only animal Bower abused. He posted photos and stories of his encounters with other dogs and a horse on multiple bestiality websites.
A year later, Bower was arrested again and later found guilty of violating his probation after an ad was discovered at www.sittercity.com offering his dog-sitting services.
Wanna bet Peter Bower is a registered Democrat?

Who are you to criticize Bower’s – or anyone’s! – lifestyle choice!!!
A man’s got needs and he should be able to satisfy them however he chooses to. It’s not the state’s business to get involved!
North American Man-Dog Love Association
of which James Brolin (mr. barbara streisand) is President.
O/T: two good articles at City Journal, Port Auth and Am Revolution. That is all.
Bill S to his wife: Was it good for you too, baby?
Wife to Bill: MOOOOO!
It wasn’t me!
Don’t ask Obama about it – the answer would be above his pay grade.
How does the reporter for the Mansfield News-Journal know that any ABUSE occurred?
You inspired me jsn2
I think you insulted Vinnie the Beast.
What part of the word “neigh” does this man not understand?
I guess you’re not Evi L enough. ; )
“Nitro’s Law”? Seriously?
Can’t wait for “Fluffy’s Law” and “Tweety’s Law”
Uh, was this guy’s name Bower, or Bowser????
I don’t know about that. After all, he has slept with a mule at least twice.
anyone who has grown up on a farm knows that there is nothing very unusual about sexual contact with animals. many a young farmboy has lost his virginity in a barn stall.
You guys won’t be happy until you make my collection of back issues of Sex to Sexty a felony again, will you?
How was it?
Not baaaaad.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, said the man as he kissed the [favorite animal name.]
Bestiality websites! Is there ANY perversion without its website now?
Rule 34. No exceptions.
Good thing he is dying on Sons of Anarchy, he might come kick my ass!
There’s a lot of baaad jokes you can make about this stuff.
Like why do Scotsmen wear kilts?
It’s so they don’t scare the sheep.
That Myron Magnet article was especially fine – thanks.
What an ass that Democrat is [somebody had to say it].
Yep. I skimmed it the first time (having read the whole article about the Port Authority first and run out of time). I’m soaking in it later, though. I liked the opening, so I think it looks real good.
But if certain sexual practices are said to be genetic and cannot be helped and therefore embraced cannot that argument be made for all deviant sexual practices?
