Man Arrested for Sex with Dog!
A Vancouver man is set to go to trial for bestiality, a charge that is rarely prosecuted in the courts. The SPCA alleges it has seized video of Brian Cutteridge, 38, engaged in sexual acts with his dog. "The B.C. SPCA first started investigating this case back in 2010 when we received some information that this individual was sexually interacting with his dogs, which is illegal in Canada," said SPCA spokesperson Marcie Moriarty. Cutteridge has argued openly against bestiality laws and has written extensively about sexual relationships with animals. Two years ago he published a paper called For the Love of Dog: On the Legal Prohibition of Zoophilia in Canada and the United States. "He feels very strongly that that should be something that's legal," Moriarty said. "He feels those relationship with his dogs are equivalent to a marriage-type relationship and that's not the case in Canada, thank goodness, and it can impact the welfare of the animals." Cutteridge's dogs are in the custody of the SPCA. The B.C. SPCA is asking veterinarians to come forward if they suspect owners are engaging in sexual acts with their pets. Cutteridge is expected to appear in B.C. Supreme Court on March 14 to set a trial date. |

Re: Man Arrested for Sex with Dog!
WTF is wrong with people? Article from local paper. February 24, 2012 Updated: February 24, 2012 - 3:45 PM STAFFORD -- A Fredericksburg man was sentenced to four months in prison Feb. 22 for having sex with his 17-year-old Yorkshire terrier. Jason Willis Sanborn, 35, was ordered to serve five years with four years and eight months suspended in Fredericksburg Circuit Court after pleading guilty in December to bestiality. The dog, named Buddy, was placed into a new home but died just over a week later. Buddy was also blind and suffered from some health issues, according to the Stafford SPCA, whose employee, Lori O’Pry-Huber, was instrumental in the case. O’Pry-Huber initially saw an ad that Sanborn placed over the summer on Craigslist seeking “canine play.” Suspicious, she began to interact with Sanborn until she and SPCA head Bill Hoyt took their evidence to the local police. Sanborn was also convicted in Fredericksburg General District Court of distributing obscene materials when he sent photos to O’Pry-Huber of him and the dog. According to court records, Sanborn was ordered as part of his sentence not to use the Internet and never to keep an animal companion. |
