Guest guest Posted February 9, 2000 Report Share Posted February 9, 2000 Dear rs, activists, and friends of animals the zoophiles have apparantly obtained the support from two " doctors " who emailed the below message in support for sex with animals (bestiality) and in opposition of the bill to protect animals from this abuse. I will post the email addresses for each representative again seperately, they should hear from more of you in SUPPORT of HB1658 This is being cross posted and widely distributed, now is the time to start sending mail, faxes and calls to each and every state representative. As I said before, the zoophiles are trying to fight this legislation, any wonder WHY? here is the proof of it, and the funny thing is the law is pro-animal and yes despite what these two claim, it IS enforceable. Frankly I'm a little tired of these crack psychiatrists like this supporting animal rapists, keep in mind psychiatrists are trained to help HUMAN patients NOT animals, and as long as the human patient is happy that is their only concern. We now have the full support for this legislation from the HSUS, MAAlL, ASPCA, HFA and AHA who have all emailed and contacted these state representatives in SUPPORT for this bill. I say it's time to start distributing this information to all of the religious groups, morality in media, the anti-porn groups, anti pedophile groups and any others who may have a stake at seeing this pass. Now is the time to bring out some bigger guns and this is your cue to action. The Myers and I also have found a legislator/policeperson in Iowa willing to look into sponsoring legislation there! Next I will be obtaining the emails for reps in another state so we can start it there. It doesnt matter if these two claim zoophiles don't hurt animals, what do they know but what zoophiles TELL them? and they tell them what they want to hear because they know these two are doing research trying to find an excuse to claim bestiality is genetic or like being gay, so naturally they will tell these two doctors all they want to hear that sounds good. Just remember the Rice/Myers case, the Dan House case, the Paul Milhouse case, the Juan Alonzo case, Barry Herbeck and the rest of them, plus the fact that I was a zoophile and know what I saw, read and heard from others and why I now fight against this. Mike Rolland ASAIRS Administrator http://members.aol.com/animalsav/ Members of the Missouri House of Representatives Martin S. Weinberg, PhD and Colin J. Williams, PhD As sociologists and sex researchers at Indiana University for over 30 years, and as professionals who are researching zoophilia, we submit to you our views of the proposed House Bill 1658 which prohibits engaging in sexual conduct with animals (bestiality). We believe that given our academic disciplines, we write with the benefit of extensive knowledge regarding the consequences of attempting to legally control unconventional forms of sexual expression and the failure of legislators to distinguish between the objective harm resulting from these sexual acts and the displeasure they may feel with regard to them. No one can argue about the objective harm resulting from a behavior like rape. Such harm arises from the absence of consent and the trauma that accompanies and follows from the act. Opponents of a human having sex with an animal use a similar standard. While what constitutes an animal's consent is difficult to define, people are well aware when an animal is non-consenting. Our research suggests that forcing sex on an unwilling animal is rare among adult zoophiles (as well as being seen as a behavior that would be extremely unsafe since the person is not dealing with a defenseless being). The question of consent is usually conflated with the question of harm, which we believe to be the better question. Zoophiles appear to be extremely caring and concerned for their animal(s) and people who know them would be hard put to claim abuse. Implicit in HB 1658 is that sex with an animal in itself constitutes abuse. We believe that this merely reflects a negative attitude toward such a non-traditional form of sexuality. Disgust should not be a criterion for legislation; only objective evidence of harm should be, and there are sufficient laws against cruelty to animals to handle such cases. We can confidently say that if laws such as HB 1658 are passed, they cannot be enforced. Further, they have the potential for creating witch hunts, and of ruining the lives of random individuals unluber that less than half a century ago, all states but one criminalized homosexual acts because many people were uncomfortable with the idea of sexual behavior with members of the same sex. This destroyed the lives of many citizens. Please do not make this same mistake by pursuing HB 1658 any further. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
