One measure of the proposal would be to make bestiality illegal in New Jersey. Yes, I m amazed, too, to learn that bestiality is currently legal in New Jersey . Plus, think of the merchandising. The downside is, well, that people can legally fornicate with goldfish, wombats, and even your actual pterodactyl, provided they could find one, of course. The bill s primary sponsor is, I kid you not, named Martha Bark .
New Jersey is slightly behind the rest of the world as far as anti-bestiality laws.
Some cultures, like the ancient Greeks, accepted manimal boinking as part of man s place in the world of nature, but, eventually, mean old Christianity came along and queered the deal, attempting to put an end to canine-lingus, hamsterbation, and other fun activities. Pagans resisted, with many primitive peoples promising to preserve their proclivity to poke pachyderm and porcine pulchritude. My dogged pursuit of the history of this rather fishy method of horsing around produced a barnyard full of facts. Some of these books survive in The British Library. The church, even at this time, was still directly involved in what it saw as the fight against superstition and Paganism.
