Guest guest Posted March 6, 2000 Report Share Posted March 6, 2000 Dear Dr. Laura, I was sent this via email and wanted to contact you about this: ============ Yesterday on Dr. Laura Schlesinger's talk show, she mentioned a three-page ad for a dress designer (not named) in the March Harper's Bazaar and Vogue which Schlesigner said showed a female model " having sex " with a dog. ========== I have been involved for two years getting legislation enacted and awareness about " zoophilia " (bestiality) as an animal abuse issue but also as an early warning sign of social and sexual problems which could later become pedophilia or rape once the individual raping animals gets bold. First, 24 states have NO laws against bestiality and thanks to the internet it is growing as the latest new kink to try out. I have a web site devoted to this issue: http://memebrs.aol.com/animalsav/ OR http://welcome.to/legislation Some newspaper resources. Joplin Globe article on the laws: http://www.joplinglobe.com/archives/2000/000119/regional/story5.html Riverfront Times: http://www.rftstl.com/issues/1999-12-15/news2.html?elink http://www.rftstl.com/issues/1999-12-15/ray.html?elink Humane Society of the US web site for animal sex-abuse, laws and the net: http://www.hsus.org/current/sexabuse_intro.html http://www.hsus.org/current/internet.html My assistant's site with more laws Missouri specific and a new bill HB1658 we helped get sponsored in Missouri to make bestiality a CRIME there: http://members.tripod.com/~judymyers/zoolaw.html Brief text of the proposed bill: HB1658 Chapter 566, RSMo, is amended by adding thereto one new section, to be known as section 566.111, to read as follows: 566.111 & nbsp; 1. No person shall knowingly engage in any sexual conduct with an animal or knowingly cause another person to engage in any sexual conduct with an animal for sexual gratification of any reason. 2. Any person who violates the provisions of subsection 1 of this section is guilty of a class D felony. http://www.house.state.mo.us/bills00/bills00/HB1658.htm There have been a number of bestiality cases in the news, THREE of them in your state alone! A zoophile in Agoura: Daniel Bruce House, People v. House, SA 036279 a repeat offender who raped and injured a number of horses. The case info, photo of House being arrested and his confession statements to the arresting officer appear at: http://members.xoom.com/pro4animal/house.html His attorney Michael Rotsten, a supposed animal rights activist is trying to get him off claiming he was suffering from " Alcohol withdrawl " (when he frequented this stable over 300 times I suppose.) The DA is Martin Herscovitz. Another case involved a zoophile's rape and killings of several 4H project sheep at a high school: MAN ACCUSED OF SEXUALLY ASSAULTING SHEEP 'Bizarre' Attacks Occur at High School Pen Aug. 4, 1999 By Valerie Kalfrin LAKESIDE, Calif. (APBnews.com) -- Investigators staking out a sheep pen where two animals died of sexual assault said today they caught a man molesting a ewe. James Donald Ray, 38, is in custody on a probation violation pending charges of cruelty to animals and sexually assaulting animals for the attacks at the El Capitan High School pen. The livestock was being raised by students in the school's Future Farmers of America program, officials said. " It's pretty bizarre, " San Diego County Sheriff's Department spokesman Lt. Ron Van Raaphorst said. Police began staking out the school's open-air pens in July, after sheep that died May 31 and July 4 " were discovered to have been sexually assaulted, " officials said. Caught in the act Detectives arrested Ray, an unemployed county resident who is not affiliated with the school, Saturday after he allegedly climbed into a pen and began having sex with one of the 3-foot-tall animals. San Diego County District Attorney's Office spokeswoman Gayle Falkenthal said one of two prosecutors who deals with agricultural crimes will likely handle the case. " He's had similar cases, one recently involving a horse, " she said. 'Really disturbing' Although this rural area about 13 miles east of San Diego has seen its share of agricultural crimes, from palm tree theftt was going on, " she said. " They were concerned that this activity might escalate toward some kind of violence toward the high school students. " Today, students and faculty were still struggling to come to grips with the incidents, Principal Nancy Peterson said. " It's really disturbing to the students because they work with these animals every day, and they hate to see them abused, " she told APBnews.com. " This is hard for them to understand -- it's hard for anyone to understand.

Dr. Stephanie LaFarge sees a warm-up crime -- and an offender who may soon move on to a human victim. One afternoon, the daughter walked in on Joey sodomizing the dog. She called the police and had him arrested. The wife and daughter fled. The dog was taken to the ASPCA's clinic, where Dr. Robert Reisman, one of the A's eleven full-time veterinarians, adapted a human rape kit on the spot in an attempt to collect evidence of human sperm from the dog. Because sexual crimes against dogs are surprisingly common -- and illegal in New York -- Reisman is now working on creating a canine rape kit, so that forensic evidence of sexual abuse can be collected and standardized. ------- Additional zoophile abuse cases: 1998 Sterling Rachwal, Waupaca County WI., charged with cruelty to animals, burglary and bail jumping after his attack on a pregnant mare who suffered severe penetration injuries to the anal and vaginal areas. A three time prior offender on at least three other horses who were euthanized due to the extent of their injuries.

Another account on this zoophile: Paul Millhouse, 49, pleaded not guilty in February to assault on an animal after he was arrested in Lakeside, Calif., near San Diego. He is suspected of being the man sought for 11 years for various horse stalkings (the very first one of which was reported to police by Joan Embery, the San Diego Zoo spokesperson who frequently appeared on The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson). According to police in the latest incident, Millhouse was videotaped entering a private pasture, taking off his clothes, and fondling a horse. ---- We found yet another news item regarding an arrest, in Victorville California of 25 year old Brian Lyle Courtier, who is facing his second round of charges for theft of a horse from its corral and sexually assaulting her. The S.B. county sheriff's spokesperson Cindy Beaver said that Courtier admitted the attack. This occurred just months after he was convicted of forced sex on another horse in the same area. ----------- Dr Laura, I hope you will take the time to look into this horrid issue, it is a warning sign for society and the internet's forums allow instant exchange of illegal bestiality porn, messages, files and encourages swingers, teens and othres into experimenting with this perversion. A man in Missouri was bragging there was no law in his state that could touch him, he went on the Jerry Springer show and did the " I married a horse " . His antics have encouraged other zoophiles to " come out " like being gay. The pornography, even simulated is ILLEGAL under federal obscenity laws.
