Congress shall pass no law that infringes on the right to pet your animal in any way that does not cause harm.

>>Bestiality? Has anyone tried to legalize that?<<

Syb -

I'm not a lawyer or anything, but is bestiality actually illegal in most states? I'd be surprised if anyone had felt it necessary to pass such a law.

OK, I just looked it up, and it appears that roughly half of US States have laws against bestiality. In others, people can be prosecuted for having sex with someone else's animal (property damage), or for doing it publicly (public lewdness) or in front of a minor (sexual abuse).

We should probably get off this subject, it suddenly occurs to me, lest someone think we are actually promoting bestiality here. For the record, I'm not promoting it, and don't condone it.

I don't condone fishing for sport, either. It's not a sport if both teams haven't been given a choice about playing the game. I suspect that the fish, if made to understand the rules of the fishing game and asked whether or not they'd like to participate, would decline. They're not as dumb as they look.
