Why Are So Many People Having Sex With Dogs?

Wednesday May 13, 2009

This has to be the most disgusting trend I've seen in 15 years walking the weird news beat: Once again, someone is accused of having sex with a dog. This time, a pit bull.

Oregon police have charged 20-year-old Brandon Vongthongthrip to 200 counts of aggravated animal abuse and 200 counts of sexual assault of an animal after he allegedly admitted to having sex with his pet more than 400 times over a five-year period.

"Authorities first learned of Mr. Vongthongthrip's criminal activity when an anonymous caller contacted investigators at the Oregon Humane Society," Special Agent Austin Wallace told Salem-News.com.

The 20-year-old man -- the latest inductee to the Weird News Mug Shot Hall of Shame -- had no prior arrests and has no history of mental illness. And yet investigators say they found pictures of him posted on the Internet of him sexually abusing his eight-year-old Red Nose American Pit Bull named Rocky.

This comes just week after a Florida woman was charged with making dog sex videos, prompting state lawmakers to propose new anti-bestiality laws.

A few months earlier, we reported on the legal proceedings against Diane Sue Whalen, accused of making and trying to sell videos of herself with two dogs

From what I have read in other article, there was no indication that he harmed his animal. If that’s the case, I don’t see what was wrong with this. It might be gross, but it doesn’t mean it was abuse.

I agree with her he didn’t hurt him or her. there is a differences between abuse and non abuse. He never hurt the dog, If he is happy with his life stile why judge him this. if u judge him then its only fare to do the same with gay’s.

I am open minded and I feel that people just need to stop and think vet’s and scientists can tell if the animal has been hurt. If he didn’t hurt the dog let him go he did nothing wrong in my eyes it’s just different.

It didn’t say he abused this animal and so I don’t see a big deal.

We do far worst things to other animals.

I think if you have a dog as your lover, you don’t need to bring flowers, or wont get mad if you don’t call. And after you had your deed no need for pillow talk.
But still sick as hell!!
