Two black-and-tan German shepherds have been put in the care of animal welfare workers as authorities investigate a Palm Beach Gardens man accused of sexually assaulting the dogs.
Palm Beach County Animal Care and Control officials on Wednesday asked a judge to give the county permanent custody of the pets.
County attorney Shannon Fox said in court papers that the man, who lives in an apartment with his mother, had repeatedly performed sexual acts with the dogs.
No arrest had been made by Wednesday evening but "an ongoing investigation" is under way, according to a Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office spokeswoman. An animal custody hearing will take place May 29. Neither the man or his mother could be reached for comment despite calls to their residence.
Officials said the investigation, which began more than a week ago, prompted renewed calls for a law making it a felony for people to have sex with animals.
Florida is one of about 20 states with no specific law prohibiting such acts. Outlawing bestiality, legislators say, would make it easier for law enforcement officials and prosecutors to clamp down on sexual abuse of animals. Since 2001, there have been at least a dozen documented cases in Florida.
This spring, state Sen. Nan Rich, D-Weston, filed legislation aimed at preventing anyone from knowingly committing bestiality, knowingly causing or aiding another person to have sex with an animal, or knowingly permitting sex with an animal. Rich filed the legislation, in part, because she has seen academic evidence that there is a direct correlation between animal abuse and child abuse. The legislation passed one legislative committee.
Rich said the struggle for passage of the legislation centers on the taboo subject and graphic nature of the acts.
"I think people are just uncomfortable with the subject matter," she said Wednesday. "It's just unfortunate that there's just not more ways to prosecute these atrocious acts, because there is so much evidence that they are an indicator of other sexual deviant crimes."

Something about Libertarianism always bothered me. Then one day, I realized what it was:
Libertarian philosophy can be boiled down to the phrase, "Work Will Make You Free."
In Libertarianism, there is no Government, so the Bosses are free to exploit the Workers.
In Communism, there is no Government, so the Workers are free to exploit the Bosses.
So in Libertarianism, man exploits man, but in Communism, its the other way around!
If all you want to do is have some harmless, mindless fun, go H3RE INST3ADZ0RZ!!
Grrr! Fight my Brute, you pansy!

According to dumblaws.com Florida only bans having sex with a porcupine. Which frankly strikes me as a bit odd, as that should be a self correcting problem.

The scary part, is that laws like that are often the result of it having been a problem...Ender wrote:According to dumblaws.com Flordia only bans having sex with a porcupine. Which frankly strikes me as a bit odd, as that should be a self correcting problem.

He didn't do it and even if he did, the dog wanted it. Being some what contrarian about this; how are they going to prove the dog was abused? A German Sheppard is more than able to stop a puny man from doing something of this kind to it if it doesn't want it done.
Other than that, this guy had his shot and really screwed the pooche didn't he? (Had to get that one in)

But as far as board culture in general, I do think that young male overaggression is a contributing factor to the general atmosphere of hostility. It's not SOS and the Mess throwing hand grenades all over the forum- Red

The guy should be muzzled.
Maybe the authorities will pound some sense into him.
If convicted, this will hound him, forever.
People will be muttering behind his back.
No one will want to sell him a house in their neighborhood. Although he might be able to leash.
