This is so absurd I had to mention it. Stephanie Miller mentioned it as well on the air, and I only caught part of her hilarious talk on it. The following is from http://www.dailycognition.com/" A man who was accused of having sex with a sheep has walked free after the animal was unable to testify.
The man, from Haaksbergen, near Utrecht, the Netherlands, was reported to police after a farmer caught him having sex with a sheep.
But the case was thrown out of court as the sheep couldn't take to the stand to testify it didn't want to have sex and had suffered emotional stress.
Under Dutch law, bestiality is not a crime unless it can be proved the animal didn't want to have sex.
'Short of putting the sheep in the dock, at the moment these perverts cannot be prosecuted,' said animal rights campaigner Jos van Huisen.
Minister of Justice Ernst Hirsch Ballin has said he plans to change the law to make bestiality a criminal offence."
I can assume that Dutch law is being changed to properly prosecute these sick bastards. I just hope the sheep was not intimidated by the more promiscuos sheep in the herd. There may or may not be an investigation into wittness harrasssment among the sheep. I mean after all, a man in Battle Creek, Mi. was sentenced 10 years for the same baaaaaaad act of loneliness. I poke fun at this only because it is so absurd. The Dutch really need to shape their laws to protect domestic and wild animals better than that.
