Um, that’s just wrong.

why is feminism under topics?

Darwin's avatar

People like this make people look bad, not just Southerners. Never talk to folks from Colorado about sheep – just some friendly advice.

Sarcasm's avatar

“Animal-fuckers” is not one of the stereotypes for southerners, at least not one that I’ve heard. So no, it doesn’t reinforce stereotypes.

That nasty stuff happens all over, not just the south. I’m in Kansas and a couple years ago there was a guy that did some jail time for having sex with, of all dogs to choose, a Pit Bull! After he was released he moved to another town and got caught doing it again to another dog! I googled it but couldn’t find the news story, it was pretty sicko crap.

Darwin's avatar

Did anyone notice that it was a stud horse they were having their fun with? Not only are they practicing bestiality, they are into homosexual bestiality. In Tennessee that should have gotten them hanged, with or without feathers and tar.

rooeytoo's avatar

And did anyone notice that another buddy who had the same sort of proclivities died of internal injures, it’s no wonder, have you ever seen a stud horse’s equipment!!!

rooeytoo's avatar

oh and @buster – what the hell is horsism???

augustlan's avatar

I’m from Maryland, and this stuff happens there, too.

chyna's avatar

No this doesn’t make the south look bad. It makes the deranged person doing it look bad.

jrpowell's avatar

This makes the south look bad.

bestiality is just another fetish that some people find erotic. Calling it cruelty to animals is just absurd. It is fairly common in rural areas, and there is a long history of it, going back to the ancient greeks, and even to civilizations before that. People will have sex with just about anything, it seems.

I’ve seen the video of the guy that died while being mounted by a stallion. Just the sort of thing to make you say “What the fuck?”

jonsblond's avatar

@chyna Thank you. I hate it when the minority does stupid shit but the majority has to pay for it.

knitfroggy's avatar

@Psychedelic_Zebra Holy Shit! That was one of the most disturbing things I’ve ever seen! And I thought 2 girls 1 cup was disgusting!

casheroo's avatar

@Psychedelic_Zebra WTH, where did that video come from and how do they know the guy died…or do people usually die from sex with a horse?

shego's avatar

OMG! Very disturbing. I can’t even think. I really feel sick right now. @knitfroggy I thought that was the nastiest thing I ever saw, and I didn’t watch the whole thing.

Psychedelic_Zebra's avatar

@casheroo that guys friend made several videos, and it was either that one, or a different one where they took him to the hospital afterwards because he was complaining of pain and he eventualy died of internal injuries. That guy had been boinking horses for a long time, unbeknownst to his wife and kids.

that is an extreme case of horse sex, as far as I understand it. Most zoophiles are more ‘sane’ about it, having experiences with creatures more their own size.

Psychedelic_Zebra's avatar

@knitfroggy I didn’t even watch the 2 girls 1 cup video, but reading about it made me feel very ill. The whole scat fetish is too disgusting for words. ick, ick, ick, ick!

DominicX's avatar

@Psychedelic_Zebra It’s Mr. Hands!

As for the question, I don’t think it makes the South look bad because it is not unique to the South and has nothing to do with the majority of citizens who live there. This is the kind of crap like “does this make gays look bad?” when people see a naked gay guy in a pride parade. Yet, somehow that’s okay but “does this make black people look bad?” is considered racist.

casheroo's avatar

@Psychedelic_Zebra I found an article I believe is related, so scary! I just can’t imagine it can ever be done safely. I’m so curious about the logistics of it all haha

Psychedelic_Zebra's avatar

@DominicX actually, the video is called “Deep Thrusts” starring Mr. Hands and Super Soul The Wonder Horse.

knitfroggy's avatar

@Psychedelic_Zebra I watched about 15 seconds of 2 girls 1 cup before I about died…I really can’t decide which is worse…all I know is after watching the horse video my butt kinda hurts…

airowDee's avatar

so what exactly did he do with the horse?

Psychedelic_Zebra's avatar

@casheroo most male humans have sexual relations with female animals.

knitfroggy's avatar

@airowDee Use your imagination…and really it’s probably more about what the horse did with him…

Psychedelic_Zebra's avatar

@airowDee the horse did to him what the US gov’t has been doing to taxpayers for years

airowDee's avatar

I am just trying to imagine how a person can force a horse to insert his gentalia inside a person’s back.

knitfroggy's avatar

@airowDee I didn’t know it would be possible…but then again, I don’t ever recall thinking about it before either…

Psychedelic_Zebra's avatar

@airowDee ever have a dog hump your leg? ever have a guy at the beach drool all over you because of your swimsuit? Males will put their ‘members’ anywhere that is warm and tight, they don’t care, they just want to f*ck.

peedub's avatar

That is beyond gross, man. I feel like I need to watch something G-rated to get my mind off that sicko. I was about to ask what he was doing with the horse, until I read “friend later died…”
Barf city!
I know enough cool people from the south to not let that fucker Tait my view of the place. Unfortunately there are weirdos like that everywhere.

wenn's avatar

the south doesn’t need to things to make it look bad…..it just is bad.

DrasticDreamer's avatar

Am I horrible for laughing when I heard his friend later died? People who have sex with animals should be put in jail.

And why is all of the text tiny?

shego's avatar

@DrasticDreamer I thought I was imagining things. It’s good to know that I’m not the only one who noticed

augustlan's avatar

[mod says] Sorry for the tiny type! That was my error, and it’s now fixed.

dpworkin's avatar

My, aren’t we a critical, puritanical, self-loathing group today. No room for people with paraphilias in your world? Shall we kill or jail transvestites and shoe fetishists, too?

augustlan's avatar

In my view, this is an issue of consent. Animals are incapable of it, therefore, they shouldn’t be subject to sex with humans.

dpworkin's avatar

Do cows consent to be eaten?

augustlan's avatar

Hrm. You do have a point.

Sarcasm's avatar

I don’t approve of zoophilia

I’d think if the animal doesn’t want to consent to the sex, s/he would go away. I don’t think there’s any way to forcibly fuck, say, a horse. I’d think as soon as you stuck it in, and the horse didn’t enjoy it, it would kick you and get out of there.

Now, sure, you’ve got complete control over something like a cat or a rabbit.

dpworkin's avatar

Whatever is in the range of human experience we all have the capacity to perform, all of us being human. I just don’t understand where it gets us to be so judgmental, even if certain behaviors trigger our disgust.

peedub's avatar

@pdworkin So you’re putting transvestites and shoe fetishists on the same level as a man who is having intercourse with an animal, another species, mind you.

I’m all for the anthropological approach, in fact, it was my course of study in college; however, just because a human being ‘has a capacity to perform’ a given act, doesn’t mean that act should be accepted other members of society.

Hopefully you are being ironic, and I am just slow.

markyy's avatar

Wait, what, he died? The friend later died from internal injuries. Oh yeah, you guys are right. What I’m wondering is did he die from a kick (no means no), or did he really let the horse take him up the ass? Don’t answer me until I get a bucket and towel, in case you tell me and I have to throw up.

augustlan's avatar

@markyy He died from the um… sexual activity.

Jack_Haas's avatar

Bestiality is illegal in Tennessee but not in northern states like Vermont, the capital of bestiality porn. People who like to make fun of southerners for any reason will have a field day with this kind of news but that’s about it.

dpworkin's avatar

@peedub Which is more offensive to you, sexual intercourse with a human infant, or sexual intercourse with a goose, and why, please?

CMaz's avatar

“The case motivated lawmakers in Washington to strengthen bestiality laws in that state.”

Strengthen bestiality laws?
There are people with just too much time on their hands.

I have seen these sick sites. I could never understand why a sexy sexual woman would want to have sex with a dirty animal. When there are plenty of men available for them to play with.

Bestiality makes no sense to me. Totally off the wall.

rooeytoo's avatar

I don’t get what having sex with a horse has to do with eating beef. Having sex with an infant or a goose is abhorrent, offensive and apparently to most, perverted and illegal as well.

I think sex should be between consenting members of the same species and of an age where they can be responsible for the possible consequences of having sex..

syz's avatar

I’m not sure how you made the immediate leap to the south, since the majority of the tapes talked about in the story seem to have been found in Seattle, Washington.

Psychedelic_Zebra's avatar

The fact is, some animals CAN be forced into sexual relations with a human. That is rape. On the other hand, animals can be trained to find sex with humans enjoyable. Face it, sex is sex, whether with your own kind, or outside your species. If you try to force a large animal in to having sex with you, it will defend itself. Animals ARE NOT children. You can train an animal to run and fetch a Frisbee and bring it back, and the last time I checked, there are no Frisbees growing naturally in the wild. Your definition of natural should be reconsidered.

If you think an animal cannot give consent, then you have not been around animals much. Sure, it isn’t verbal, but since when are animals able to speak English, or Swahili, or Pakistani? These are all examples and I am not saying anything about Africans or Asians in reference to using those particular types of language. Animals react to humans via body language. 90% of our relationships with our animal companions is non-verbal.

Anyone who has an animal as a pet knows that animals are willing to please their keepers. You can teach your dog to sit up for a biscuit, and you can teach a horse to accept a saddle and bridle. It is the same with sexual interactions. Like humans, animals enjoy the feelings of sex. How could they not, as it is a physiological reaction to external stimuli hard-wired into our brains. Whether you think it is right or wrong is a judgment call.

If cake decorating was suddenly defined as a felony, @DrasticDreamer would be going to jail. Those who are quick to judge before all the facts are in are not playing fair. But hey, if people on Fluther want to be a bunch of self-righteous judmental assholes over someone else’s particular sexual fetish, well have at it. It makes you no better than the zealots that espouse Islam is the only way, or that non-Christian apostates should be burned at the stake. that is true Christian history, and it happened for hundreds of years, like it or not.

What you see as bestiality porn on the Internet is not what the majority of folks I’ve known that are into zoophilia see as normal. Sexual acts are seen as sharing, and done in private out of love and respect, not the filth you see at beast sex dot com or whatever. That is for the voyeurs.

I have a belief, and that belief is: The only sexual abberation I find unnatural is celibacy.

I bet there’s a few people that wish they hadn’t put me in their Fluther now. };^)

ABoyNamedBoobs03's avatar

lol no to make fun of a bad situation… but this made me chuckle…

“In 2005, police in Seattle, Wash. said Tait made a videotape of a friend engaging in sex acts with a horse. The friend later died from internal injuries.”

jackm's avatar

Who cares if this guy has sex with a horse? His penis is certainly not larger than a horses, so it can’t hurt.

Just because it it gross to you doesn’t mean it should be illegal.

Let this guy fuck his horse.

Zebra has the right idea. Stop thinking about what offends you, and start thinking logically.

I am now going to add you to my fluther because of that comment ;)

JLeslie's avatar

I agree with @Sarcasm it isn’t a southern stereotype so it doesn’t make them look stupid, just lets us know there are stupid abusive people out there. That story about the Justice of the Peace in Lousiana refusing to perform a marriage between a black and white person, now that makes the south look stupid.

dpworkin's avatar

I am enjoying the peaceful sounds of crickets from @peedub ‘s meadow. I have no urge to fuck a cricket.

ABoyNamedBoobs03's avatar

@jackm I wonder how much the horse actually likes it though…..

Psychedelic_Zebra's avatar

@pdworkin good, that means you won’t end up with the nickname, Needledick the Bug Fucker.

Psychedelic_Zebra's avatar

@shego care to clarify that WTF?

shego's avatar

@Psychedelic Zebra I’m sorry, I came across the wrong part of the conversation. I’m out of it and it your response caught me off guard. I should know better than that.

Psychedelic_Zebra's avatar

@shego that’s okay, my world view catches a lot of people off guard, that’s the fun part about being me. =)

shego's avatar

I know I love your responses that is why I should have known better

DrasticDreamer's avatar

@Psychedelic_Zebra I’ve already admitted it a few times on Fluther and I’ll do it again – I AM judgmental when it comes to certain things. Call me stuck up, call me self-righteous, call me whatever clever insult you can think of. I’ll gladly live up to it.

Other animals are not as smart as humans. Having sex with them is taking advantage, period. Some fifty-year-old men can persuade some ten-year-olds to have sex with them – that doesn’t mean it’s not rape. People that engage in this kind of activity with animals are creepy and something is wrong with them.

dpworkin's avatar

Baby fuckers aren’t creepy, and there is nothing wrong with them?

DrasticDreamer's avatar

What? Of course they are. Why do you think I put the comment about fifty-year-old men and ten-year-olds in there? Regardless of “consent”, it’s still rape. I hold the same view about people having “sex” with animals.

rooeytoo's avatar

I guess the guy who died from internal injuries after having his way with the stud horse found out the hard way (no pun intended) that the horse in question was not consenting and didn’t feel like bonding in that particular fashion.

Wonder if they put the horse down for killing a human?

So apparently having sex with an animal does not constitute animal cruelty but getting its tail docked does because that’s not natural.

jackm's avatar

Everyone, think about what you are saying. You are assuming that sex is as important as it is to humans. Humans take sex very seriously. We are conscience and search for meaning in everything we do. When it comes to sex, the most important life giving act, we have taken it and made it almost religious. In fact, many religions have claimed it as their own and set rules for it.

To an animal, who just has sex because nature drives it to, it means nothing. Its just like eating food, flying away when startled, or sleeping. Males force them selves on females lots of times in the animal world.

The animal will not be traumatized if a human has sex with it. Take you emotion out of thinking about this. While it ma seem disgusting to you, does it really matter? Should you be able to imprison someone because they are doing it? Think about it for a little, and I hope you conclude that you guys are being way to judgmental.

Clair's avatar

This has nothing to do with the South. It’s everywhere.
A little note: Years ago, down the road from where I live, a man who was trying to build a ‘spaceship to heaven’ (and was selling tickets!) died from somehow getting caught on a donkey that he was trying to screw. I think somehow his pants got caught, but his corpse was dragged around town with his pants down in front of God and everybody. He was also known for raping his daughters. I believe his wife killed herself a few years before this.
Needless to say, the tickets were not refunded. But the shell of the UFO type craft was put on display and is now the symbol of a body shop down the road.

augustlan's avatar

Just want to point out, the man wasn’t ‘doing’ the horse. The horse was doing the man. He died of internal injuries caused by a gigantic horse cock.

rooeytoo's avatar

This story actually made it into the Northern Territory News! Wow that is the big time for sure. Now I will have to listen to more baloney about weird ass bloody yanks.
