On July 2, 2005, a forty-five-year-old man died on a farm near Seattle, Washington, after having sex with a stallion. The horse's penis caused the man severe internal injuries: Enumclaw Police Commander Eric Sortland told a reporter, "Basically, his colon was ruptured, along with his lower organs in that region, and he bled out." The man was dead on arrival at Enumclaw Community Hospital. Police found hundreds of videotapes of sex with livestock cached in a field on the farm. Other animals kept on the farm, apparently a destination for men around the United States seeking sex with livestock, were sheep, goats, ponies, and dogs.
The man's sexual act was not illegal because the state of Washington was, at the time of his death, one of the seventeen U.S. states in which bestiality (sex with animals, also known as zoophilia) was not forbidden by law. It was not found that other persons were criminally involved with the specific acts that led to the man's death, no evidence was found that the horse had suffered during the incident, and an animal cannot be charged with a crime, so despite the occurrence of the death no felony charges were brought in the case. A local truck driver who videotaped the fatal sex act, James Michael Tait, was charged in October 2005 with criminal trespass, a misdemeanor. In November 2005, Tait was given a one-year suspended sentence with eight hours of community service and a $778 fine ($300 fine plus court costs).
Reaction to the incident ranged from titillated fascination to disgust. A state senator, Pam Roach (R-Auburn), introduced a bill to ban bestiality in Washington, which passed in February 2006 with a 36-0 vote (thirteen lawmakers excused). Bestiality is now a Class C felony in Washington, punishable by up to five years in jail and a $10,000 fine.
The videotapes police have viewed thus far depict men having sex with horses, including one that shows a Seattle man shortly before he died July 2, said Enumclaw police Cmdr. Eric Sortland. Police are reviewing the tapes to make sure no laws have been broken.
"Activities like these are often collateral sexual crimes beyond the animal aspect," said Sortland, adding that investigators want to make sure crimes such as child abuse or forcible rape were not occurring on the property.
However, authorities didn't learn about the farm until a man drove up to Enumclaw Community Hospital on July 2 seeking medical assistance for a companion. Medics wheeled the man into an examination room before realizing he was dead. When hospital workers looked for the driver, he was gone.
Using the dead man's driver's license to track down relatives and acquaintances, authorities were led to the Enumclaw farm. Some earlier reports had said hospital-surveillance cameras were used to track down the driver.
The dead man was identified as a 45-year-old Seattle resident. According to the King County Medical Examiner's Office, he died of acute peritonitis due to perforation of the colon. The man's death is not being investigated because it did not result from a crime, Urquhart said.
The Seattle man's relatives said yesterday they never suspected he was involved in bestiality. They said they were surprised when they learned he had purchased a Thoroughbred stallion earlier this year. The man told his relatives he boarded the animal with some friends in Enumclaw.
Two neighbors, a married couple who declined to allow use of their names, said yesterday they had no idea what had been going on at the farm. They said they've known one of the men who lived on the farm for years.
On Thursday, police showed the couple videotape seized from the farm showing men having sex with horses. The couple identified one of the horses as belonging to them, Sortland said. The couple also said it appeared at least part of the tape was filmed in their barn, which left them shocked and angry.
"We couldn't believe what we were seeing," said Sortland. "In the rare, rare case this happens, it's the per-son doing the animal. I think that has led to the astonishment of all of the entities involved."
Thursday night, in reaction to the man's death, Susan Michaels, co-founder of Pasado's Safe Haven, posted a letter on the local animal-rights organization's Web site calling for people to e-mail legislators in an attempt to change state laws.
However, in the aftermath of the Seattle bestiality case, the public comments of legislators and others were focused not on the danger of zoophilia to mentally ill human beings, but on the sexual innocence of animals. "It's really a bill that will protect animals, who are innocent, by the fact that they can't consent," the bill's sponsor, Sen. Roach, said. She also said she felt it was important to ban the performance or video recording of what she termed "abhorrent" acts. As quoted in the primary source, a local animal-rights activist urged passage of an anti-bestiality law on the grounds that "It's not natural for animals to do this." No concern for the fate of the mentally ill man involved, or for others who might be injured by similar practices, appears to have been reported from any source.
It is difficult to find any record of any expression of concern by legislators or others for the welfare of human beings involved in zoophilic acts. It may be concluded that many or all laws banning zoophilia are not primarily motivated by a concern to protect mentally ill humans from danger or to protect animals from pain. Many persons view zoophilic acts as immoral, unnatural, or offensive; it is these beliefs that are expressed in the laws banning such practices.
Sex with animals is forbidden in some of the world's earliest legal and behavioral codes. The biblical book of Leviticus, for example, immediately after forbidding homosexual intercourse as an "abomination," also forbids bestiality: "Neither shalt thou lie with any beast to defile thyself therewith: neither shall any woman stand before a beast to lie down thereto: it is confusion" (Leviticus 18:23, King James Version). Zoophilia and zoophilic pornography are banned in many countries. Yet sex with animals is not rare. While preferential or exclusive interest in sex with animals is, according to psychologists, an unusual condition, a 1991 study found that the prevalence of bestiality, defined as "actual sexual contacts and sexual fantasy" involving animals was ten percent among the general population of hospital in-patients, fifteen percent among professional psychiatric staff, and fifty-five percent among psychiatric patients.

Bestiality. Even the word itself is a taboo! Most people think bestiality is some rare perversion in the darkest corners of the Internet. But what if bestiality is actually a part of your everyday life?
Bestiality is a topic so taboo, the word alone is enough to elicit reactions ranging from discomfort and disgust to moral outrage and ethical condemnation. Despite its relevancy within a wide range of fields, bestiality is largely absent from public discourse.
Bestiality may seem like a pretty black and white matter: sex with animals is wrong, end of story. But such a quick dismissal, hastened no doubt by the discomfort of the subject, neglects to account for the cultural permeation of bestiality throughout history and our everyday lives.
Ancient mythology is rife with gods taking the form of animals in order to copulate with humans, among many other bestial themes[2] we readily teach children in middle school. But were a teacher to hand out a story involving sex between humans and animals written in the modern-day, suddenly a cultured appreciation of the Classics would become a potentially criminal distribution of pornography.
If we attempt to evaluate these examples objectively, which the subject matter admittedly makes challenging if not impossible, the division between the educational and the immoral or criminal becomes largely a matter of cultural context. Which begs the question: what, exactly, is so bad about bestiality?
Astoundingly enough, bestiality remained punishable by death throughout the early modern period, with Sweden executing up to 700 people between 1635 and 1778, along with the non-human animals involved, [9] and the last known hanging for bestiality in the United States carried out by order of The Connecticut Superior Court in January of 1800.[10]
Of the states with laws already enacted, penalties and sentencing range from a misdemeanor with no set minimum (Nebraska)[17][18] to a felony with imprisonment of no less than 7 and up to 20 years (Rhode Island).[19][20]
Even in the food industry, or example, the vast majority of farmed animals today are bred via artificial insemination. Cows in the dairy industry are repeatedly impregnated through AI in order to maintain the flow of milk for human consumption. Like us, they only produce milk for their babies, who are taken from their mothers immediately after birth. Females are kept as future milk producers and males are either sent to a veal farm or shot.[29]
In the pig meat industry, piglets are the product, so mother pigs, much like dairy cows, are subjected to a constant cycle of pregnancies. Even in the EU, where tethering stalls in which pigs were chained in place were outlawed, artificial insemination is one of a number of built-in exceptions wherein pigs may legally be chained in place.[35][36]
Would your answer change if I told you the passage was written by an internationally renowned and well-respected specialist in livestock handling and animal welfare? If so, what changed about the account itself?
In one of the unfortunately numerous cases of extreme sexual abuse of animals within the food industry that fall so far outside of the prescribed norms they lead to criminal charges,[54] undercover footage and detailed notes from the investigators showed routine abuse at a pig breeding facility in Iowa, where thousands of mother pigs are kept in cramped gestation crates. Workers beat pregnant pigs with blunt metal objects, kicked them in the stomach and head, forced rods into their vaginas and anuses, and attacked lame and injured pigs with an electric prod, among other offenses.
