Dispatch From The Other Washington

"Just sex with an animal per se, you'd have to prove some sort of animal cruelty out of that and that's why we've got more investigating to do." - King County (WA) Sheriff's Dept. Sgt. John Urquhart, on a farm that apparently brought people in to have sex with animals. Bestiality is legal in Washington.

I'm picturing some guy in a sheriff's uniform going up to a cow and asking, "Did you enjoy it or do you feel violated?" "Mooooo."

Bestiality is also legal in sixteen other states.

Is it explicitly legal, or is there just no law against it? I suspect most bestiality would be prosecuted as a form of animal cruelty.

I wonder if those same states are some of the ones that outlaw homosexual sex...
