Guess I can't date that pig in Washington any more

OLYMPIA, Wash. -- Reacting to a story that drew gasps of horror across the country, a state senator is asking her colleagues to outlaw sex with animals.

The issue drew unwanted attention to Washington state last year, when authorities revealed that a man died of a perforated colon after having sex with a horse on a farm in rural King County.

Sheriff's officers believed they had no options for criminal charges for the man's companions because bestiality was not explicitly covered under the state's animal cruelty law. Prosecutors did eventually get one conviction for trespassing.

Animal advocates responded with a push to outlaw bestiality, and Sen. Pam Roach, R-Auburn, vowed to sponsor the measure. Her bill began its legislative journey Thursday, heading to the Senate Judiciary Committee for review.

*** Shucks, another state to avoid. It rains all the time and now this!!!
