EEEEWWWWWWW!!!

On the news last night, they ran a story about people who love animals. (Remember that line from The Truth About Cats & Dogs? "It's okay to love your pets, just don't luuuuuuuv your pets."?)

Well, I'm talking about people who luuuuuuuv animals. Apparently it isn't illegal in Arizona.

Ick.

Ew.

Gag.

Here's the news story: Arizona is one of only 14 states that doesn't have specific laws dealing with bestiality. In this most recent case, a 55-year old man in Mesa attempted to have sex with a lamb that belonged to his neighbor. Because it's not illegal in Arizona, he's only being charged with trespassing.


Okay. Look at this little guy and tell me the first thing that comes to your mind is, "Oh, he's hot. I'd like to have sex with him." NOT!

The Mesa man was apparently caught with his pants down. Literally. Although lots of criminal statutes exist in this state, one that applies to sex with animals doesn't. A spokesperson for the humane society said sex crimes against animals happen more often than we'd guess, and are directed primarily against dogs. The last animal sexual assault case happened last year. Sheriff's deputies tried to arrest a man who tried to have sex with a six-month old puppy.

Again, ick.

Eeeeeewwwwww.

Gag. Gag. GAG.

Say it with me: It's okay to love your pets. Just don't luuuuuuuv your pets.


(I'm hoping to get another 4,000 words (at least!) written today. Wish me luck!)

Uhhh, good morning?

*bleckkk!! cough cough*

Grosssssssss!

Didn't need to read this so early in the morning. Yuck!!! Some people are so...can't write what I'm thinking.

Good luck with the writing today, Sherrill. You'll do just fine.

Sherrill Quinn said...

I know, Su. I was just shocked to have this on the news. I mean, I know there are people out there who luuuuuv their pets (I won't go into any details about what I've found on the Internet in the process of doing research for my Praetorians storyline. Take my word for it. Eeeeewww!) but I never expected to hear about it on the evening news. I just had to comment on it. Poor little lamb...

Sherrill Quinn said...

I'm with ya, Nancy. Sorry I grossed you out so early. The really sad thing about this particular story?

The guy is (was?) a battalion fire chief.

Hey, he's supposed to be a hero, not off boinking sheep.

Sloane Taylor said...

Blame it all on Gene Wilder and Daisy.

It's terrible there isn't a law against it. I'm amazed 14 states allow this nasty practice.

A six month old puppy? What a sicko. Too bad the pup wasn't a Pit Bull.

Try to erase all this from your mind so you can write. By the way, Atonement is excellent!!

Sherrill Quinn said...

Thanks, Sloane! I'm glad to hear you liked Atonement. Makes me happy! :)

Sherrill Quinn said...

I'm sitting here writing and listening to Music Choice channel on Cox. Right now they're playing Sly and The Family Stone--Thank You For Lettin Me Be Myself Again (1971). The caption on the screen for the song title reads "Falettinme Be Mice Elf Agin". ROFLMAO.

Sherrill Quinn said...

Oh, Emma, you can move to Arizona with a pet. It's just... you need to keep as close an eye on your pet as you would your kid(s). :)

Suddenly very nervous about meeting a guy who trains horses. lol.. JUST KIDDING!! Good lord.

Eeew. That's just...ewww.

Sherrill Quinn said...

Oh, hon, you know Landra would never hook you up with a guy who luuuuuuuvs his horse. He's safe. *g*

But, yeah. Ewww. Hence the title of the blog.

Landra Douglas said...

LMAO Jenna! No, Trent is fine. I assure you.

He was taking me to my doctor's appointment this morning and we heard that story on the radio. Trent nearly spit out his coffee. The dude who banged the sheep (ahem) was a firefighter in Mesa, and Trent once worked with him. He said he always thought he was a little off...

Sherrill Quinn said...

Landra, that Trent knows the guy makes it even more icky for him. Even if he did think the guy was a little off, to have it confirmed in such a sick, twisted way... Eeeeewwwwww!

Sherrill Quinn said...

Kate, darling, nothing could make Michael Jackson look normal. N-o-t-h-i-n-g. Cuz you don't know what went on between him and that monkey...

Landra Douglas said...

ICKKKKKKKKKK!!!

Sherrill Quinn said...

I'm just sayin'...

Sherrill Quinn said...

Well, if it comes down to it and someone's gonna have a perversion (with or without Jesus juice), I'd rather they had it toward animals than children, although I'm not happy with that choice, either. Pick on somebody your own size, I say.

Sherrill Quinn said...

I'm with you, Kate. Castration without anesthetic one pathetic millimeter at a time, I say. (I was gonna say one inch at a time, but for some guys that might only take a cut or two.) {snicker}

YEP! I know when I'm in a gaggle of women who write erotica! Talking about penises the size of wine corks. Damn! Talk about too close to home!

I feel too sheepish to say anything about the news story. Suffice it to say it's not one of my pet causes.

(DUCKS, low!)

(Even THAT was a quacker!)

I'm taking my elephant and going home now. I'm in too deep to even THINK about apologizing my way out of this.

Sherrill Quinn said...

All this talk about farm animals makes me completely rethink the Ol' MacDonald song...

But next time I uncork a bottle of wine, you know what I'm gonna be thinking about... snip, snip, snip.

Why did no one tell me we were having a sheep party here? I'm always the last invited.

I could cry.

It's just me...talking to myself on the blog. Hello...tell me where we're whoring it out. Okay? I'm going to go sulk on T.A.'s blog.

Sherrill Quinn said...

With the pics TA has up on his blog, and the scrumptious excerpt, it's a good place to hang out. But you never know what's gonna happen over here...

Well at least I'm loved and adored. Rock is all mine. MINE! ALL MINE!! Mwah-ha-ha-ha-ha.

Sad news - he burned all the calendar pages. Wretched fireman. Wretched!!

Sherrill Quinn said...

Yeah, I read that, Jenn. Bad, bad boy. He'll have to make it up to you.

I'm thinking that's how we should me. Him. Suspenders. Pants. Hose. lol

Holy Dinah, Sherrill!! What happened to your blog? All of a sudden the title and headings went nuts!

Sherrill Quinn said...

What?!? What happened? It looks fine to me!

Anonymous said...

It was all jibberish. Now it's fine. Weird.

Sigh.

Blogger.

Sherrill Quinn said...

LOL Paige. The puppy incident I mentioned in the post occurred here in Pima County, but I'm not sure where. Hopefully nowhere near me. {shudder}

Faltenin said...

Hmmm. And does "baaaaa" mean "yes" or "no"?

Yuck. We know know how we're going to catch Avian Flu. Yuck.

Sherrill Quinn said...

Eewwww. Fal, I really don't think that's possible unless it's a really big bird.

See? This whole thing is just ew. There are sickos out there. Sick. Os.
