October 1, 2011 - Florida Legislature bans sex

[Blu-ray]

That's right. It's a law that is suppose to make Bestiality illegal.

There may be some terrible news to report out of Florida today, depending on how the state's residents have collectively decided to apply the basic science of biological classification to their lives. Last week, we noted some good news: The Florida legislature had finally passed a law that would outlaw bestiality and preserve the innocence of Florida's native fauna.
At the time, I posited that only shiny-pated grifter-Governor Rick Scott could possibly foul up the effort. But over at Southern Fried Science, blogger "Andrew" points out that the law's wording has basically outlawed sex entirely:

An act relating to sexual activities involving animals; creating s. 828.126, F.S.; providing definitions; prohibiting knowing sexual conduct or sexual contact with an animal; prohibiting specified related activities; providing penalties; providing that the act does not apply to certain husbandry, conformation judging, and veterinary practices; providing an effective date.

Click here for a handy visual provided by Southern Fried Science that elucidates the fact that human beings are smack dab in the middle of the animal kingdom -- by which he means the "group of multicellular, eukaryotic organisms of the kingdom Animalia" and not the horse that won the 2011 Kentucky Derby (being "smack dab in the middle" of a thoroughbred horse is a situation the law originally intended to prevent).
Andrew ends with a quip:

So if you’re living in Florida on October 1, 2011 and would like to have sexual intercourse with a consenting adult, please check with your veterinarian or local livestock breeder first to make sure you abide by "accepted animal husbandry practices, conformation judging practices, or accepted veterinary medical practices.”

(As it happens, I already check with my veterinarian and local livestock breeder prior to intercourse, but my therapist tells me that this is a "fetish" that he'd like me to consider discontinuing.)

Of course this is tongue in cheek so to speak. However, humans are animals, they are part of the Scientific classification of Animalia. LOL


I know what they meant, but if you want to take the word of the law verbatim, they have outlawed sex between animals period.

Most people would agree that its wrong anyways.

Humans are not animals though, the bible says that God made man in his own image and likeness, as shepherds of the earth, we were granted a conscience, etc... We are highly advanced beings compared to animals.

Man has always assumed that he was more intelligent than dolphins because he had achieved so much...the wheel, New York, wars and so on...while all the dolphins had ever done was muck about in the water having a good time. But conversely, the dolphins had always believed that they were far more intelligent than man...for precisely the same reason.

How can anyone defend this, especially if they support PETA? Reminds me of Andrew Dice Clay's Old Mother Hubbard joke.

Who is defending bestiality?

But what you're missing here is the fact the law states "animals." Which is a broad term used for any creature contained in the Scientific Kingdom classification of "Animalia."

So, what the legislature should have written into the law is "Sex between a human and a lesser creature." or something like that.

The State must've pink-slipped the legislative-proofreaders. -Like the famous newspaper-headline blooper: 8 Killed, 3 seriously...
