When a Man Dies in a Sex Act with a Horse -- What's a Reporter to Do?

"...We tried to make it as tasteful as possible keeping out the cause of death. As a surprise, I had at least 70 emails from people and the vast majority wanted to know what killed this guy,' she said. 'So on the second day we had to be more specific.'

Although she never reported the man's name, in her second article Sullivan did say that he was 45 years old and added that he died of acute peritonitis due to the perforation of the colon. But because Washington is one of 17 states that does not outlaw bestiality, having sex with a horse is not a crime and his death will not be investigated...

Ok, this is a follow up post to the Sex with a horse thing. Ok, some points:

1. Having sex with a horse is not a crime.
2. The man's colon was ruptured
3. Sex with weaker animals like chickens, goat and sheep is a crime , constituting animal cruelty.

I think, the horse should be criminally charged for having sex with the man.

Oh, and be careful the next time you eat chickens, goat, or sheep. You don't know who's it been with.
