As if paedos grooming kids wasn't bad enough, now people like him are grooming pets

There's a dog grooming place near where I live. I had no idea that's what the bastards were up to. Cue angry mob with pitchforks and burning crosses

a fifth charge related to him sending messages that referred to sexual activity with animals.

Now who does that remind you of?

Always find it interesting that you can work an animal hard all of it's life, kill it for food - or just because you don't want it any more, but if you have sex with it you risk going to jail That's messed up.
Obviously I can imagine scenarios where it's cruel that same as it would be for a human - i'm not talking about cruelty.

We are an irrational, emotional animal. We cherish some of our fellow species as pets or 'proud steeds', while others are just food, still others we find repulsive. No rhyme, no reason. This is one just one reason why any 'philosophy' that attempts to elevate pure reason, while ignoring emotion, to a philosophically central position, is never going to gain much traction in the real world.

HTH.

Would you want to take your pet/racing dog or horse to see him and have it stay overnight in his care?

I read it. I'm just saying.... it's illegal whether you're a vet or not.

Remember don't annoy the RSPCA or a livestock farmer.

The first lot will make your life hell by dragging you through the courts and the 2nd one may just shoot you by "accident".
