Does anybody think this would be a bad law to pass? Would anybody argue against it? Apparently, it is still legal in Florida (and about 19 other states). And, inexplicably, it is happening.
Since 2001, there have been at least a dozen documented cases in Florida.
[shudder]
Sen. Nan Rich (D-Sunrise) introduced a bill this spring making such shenanigans illegal. The bill died in the Judiciary Committee.
Whiskey.
Tango.
Foxtrot.
Can't we just agree on this one? Can't the Governor just issue an executive order making this illegal? I'll even write it for him: "Dear Florida. DON'T F*CK YOUR DOG. If you do, we'll put you in jail. That is all."
Gads.

Lawmakers feel like they are not productive unless they make new laws.
As for the dog thing, there at least 5 different laws that make sex with an animal illegal. Florida is getting to be like New York where you can get a ham sandwich indicted if someone wants it done. That is what we get for having this bloated thing called GOVERNMENT. And we let it grow because we feed it everyday. We will soon see that left unchecked, it will become a very bad thing. I think it already is.
I don't know about 5. Certainly I think Fla. Stat. sec. 828.12, prohibiting cruelty to animals, ought to apply, but I haven't done the research to see if any courts have applied this statute to a dog f*cking case. [shudder again].
I don't believe this is a case of a legislator proposing a law just to look busy. This is an attempt to proscribe clearly abhorrent behavior. Mostly I'm solidly in the "live and let live" libertarian camp when it comes to peoples' sexual pecadillos. But I become a flaming, flag-waving right-wing nut job when it comes to f*cking people or animals that don't have the capacity to consent to being f*cked. Like dogs. Or children. In my little world that's just something you don't do. If you do, WE SHOULD CUT YOUR BALLS OFF. Sorry if that offends, but it's one of the few things I'm not open to negotiation about.
That, and that "Sex and the City" is wholly overrated tripe. Even though I do like Kristin Davis.
