Is bestiality protected by the constitution? So says the lawyers of a Florida man who is on trial for his relationship with his sweet, sweet donkey named Doodle. Aw thats Doodle in the picture above. She is pretty hot.
Carlos R. Romero, 32, declared last week that he wanted to take his case to trial. He is accused of sexual activities involving animals, a first-degree misdemeanor, after he allegedly was found in a compromising position in August with a female miniature donkey named Doodle.
By making sexual conduct with an animal a crime, the statute demeans individuals like Defendant (Romero) by making his private sexual conduct a crime, the attorneys wrote.
As another possible reason for unconstitutionality, the attorneys add that the statute doesnt require that the state prove any harm or injury to the animal or any proof of the sexual activity being non-consensual.
Therefore, the only possible rational basis for the statute is a moral objection to sexual acts considered deviant or downright disgusting,? they wrote.
Using religion or the overall consensus of the public that sexual activity with an animal is wrong as the basis of a law is unjustified and bars Romeros personal liberties, the attorneys argued.
The personal morals of the majority, whether based on religion or traditions, cannot be used as a reason to deprive a person of their personal liberties, the attorneys wrote. If the statute were to require sexual conduct with animals to be nonconsensual or to cause injury in order to be a crime, then perhaps the State would have a rational basis and legitimate state interest in enforcement.

Thanks for the smile! We had a guy in high school named Albert (no need for last name - not up for slander case) who belonged to the FFA Club. Don't know about these days, but back in the day, this was NOT the club to join.
Anyway, he had a long reputation for REALLY liking sheep. Poor guy, don't know how the sheep felt about it.
Probably a multi-millionaire farmer in Iowa these days.
