Mo. Anti bestiality bill now has 21 sponsors!!!

[Guest guest]

Thank you!! to all of the activists and animal lovers who sent the

representatives email, faxes and calls, it made a big difference because the

anti-sex abuse of animals bill is now sponsored by TWENTY ONE representatives

so far! and it is a bi-partisan effort!

This is all but sure to pass, and we hope will become an example for the

other states that currently lack ANY laws against sexual abuse of animals

which often does not leave *outwardly visible* signs and is uncovered by most

animal abuse laws which usually require visible signs of abuse.

 

California's animal abuse law was shown to be ineffective in dealing with

bestiality cases.

 

The text of the bill is below, and the specifics are being worked out.

I am trying to get mandatory psychological intervention as well as removal

and prohibition of owning/working with animals as part of the sentence.

 

The Daniel Bruce House case, Rice/Myers case and others elsewhere shows the

dire need for more than JUST jail because they went back out again and

re-offended.

 

Here are some of their email addresses to which activists can write a

THANKYOU for supporting

Two newspaper articles in support of legislation.

The individual mentioned who opposed the legislation is an admitted zoophile

and appeared

on camera, so naturally he is against this legislation.

A zoophile's quote from; http://www.hsus.org/current/internet.html

 

" No one's looking for us and no one's keeping an eye on us,

basically because they think that there aren't very many of us if any at all.

We're not a threat. If they knew, zoo legal states would decrease, the fines

and prison

sentences would increase, no one would be able to get an animal without

being checked out,

definitely no one would be able to get a job working with animals without

being checked out. "
