Who needs Nostradamus when you have the great Santorum? Santorum said if the right to sex is the right to any sort of “consensual sex” then logic dictates that soon you’ll have the right to bigamy, the right to polygamy, the right to incest, the right to adultery. You have the right to anything.
And New Jersey is proving him right. Kind of.
The Daily News reports:
A New Jersey judge has dismissed animal cruelty charges against a cop accused of committing a sex act with young cows, saying a grand jury had no way of knowing whether the animals were “tormented.”
Moorestown police officer Robert Melia, who is currently suspended, allegedly engaged in oral sex acts with five calves in Southampton in 2006.
Since New Jersey currently has no law explicitly banning such an act, prosecutors in Burlington county brought animal cruelty charges against Melia, the Philadelphia Daily News reports.
Judge Morely said it was questionable that Melia’s acts, though “disgusting,” constituted animal cruelty.
Oooookaaaaay.
So the legal hangup was “the cow might have enjoyed it?” Really? Seriously? Pretty soon we’ll have defense attorneys asking “What was the cow wearing?”
All I can say to that is sometimes moo means moo. I mean, come on. And the story says the cows were young cows. The guy was a cop. It’s not like he was some great director who’s allowed to do what he wants with underage cows?
Now tell me. Can any of you be surprised about this story? Because I can’t say I’m shocked. I’m horrified. But I’m not shocked.

But those that push homosexual 'marriage' said this wouldn't happen… Agreed. Horrifying!

Wasn't bestiality the starting point of HIV/AIDES?

WELL… I was going to have a burger for lunch, but now I'm going to be picturing this when confronted with the patty between the buns.
Chicken sandwich it is…
Ick.

I'm not sure this is "animal cruelty," myself. The cows probably didn't even know they were being raped. So on THAT charge this man couldn't be imprisoned.
What New Jersey needs, now, is a ban on bestiality. Then sickos like this one could be punished.

ick. so glad I live in NJ. Yet another reason to move out of state.

I came across this story a few weeks ago…..the guy, along with his girl friend, was also charged with having sex with under aged girls. The report also had his photo along with the photo of his girl friend.
Judging from the GF's photo, he'd been engaging in bestiality for quite some time.

Courtesy of Helene Hanff: "Did you know that when the Pilgrim Fathers caught a Pilgrim having relations with a cow, they not only hanged the pilgrim, they also hanged the cow?"

These cows were young cows? How young? Were they underage? Where were their mothers?
Who owned the cow? Was the owner compensated? Is cow prostitution legal? If the owner wasn't compensted, can the owner sue for damages?
Were they American cows or were they shipped in from another country?
Where was ACORN?
…so many questions…

There's a possibility that the "consensual sex" with the calves is an isolated incident.

Isn't consent required for consensual sex? How the heck can a being without a rational soul give consent?
October 8, 2009 at 1:29 pm
How can a being with a rational soul have sex with a cow????
This story boggles my mind.
