I’ve had this sex crime (bestiality) story open in one of my million tabs for a while, forgot about it, then went back today — and saw why I didn’t dump it immediately. When you get to ‘milk’ you’ll understand what I mean and just kind of go, whygodswhy did the writer have to go there — over and over? ::sigh

Animal-cruelty charges dropped against Burlington County cop

If animals could talk, a few cows in Burlington County might ask state legislators to hurry up and outlaw bestiality.

During a bizarre hearing there yesterday, a Superior Court judge dismissed animal-cruelty charges against a Moorestown police officer accused of sticking his penis into the mouths of five calves in rural Southampton in 2006, claiming a grand jury couldn’t infer whether the cows had been “tormented” or “puzzled” by the situation or even irritated that they’d been duped out of a meal.

“If the cow had the cognitive ability to form thought and speak, would it say, ‘Where’s the milk? I’m not getting any milk,’ ” Judge James J. Morley asked.

Children, Morley said, seemed “comforted” when given pacifiers, but there’s no way to know what bovine minds thought of Robert Melia Jr. substituting his member for a cow’s teat. (…oh yes, it gets worse, philly.com)

S’not so bad. If the animals were not forced. I grew up on a farm and everybody knows full well that most young animals will suck industriously on fingers and indeed a penis. And most farm boys will or will not admit but have tried it. What we have here is a hypocritical bunch with sexual chips on their shoulders wile eating their steak. No we should not be cruel to animals. Yes you probably did it yourself if you grew up on a farm.
