Buggery of a Donkey

Man, I wish we had cool sounding charges like that. 

An arrest warrant has been issued for a Leicester man accused of having sex with a horse and a donkey, after he failed to turn up to court.

Joseph Squires, 66, of Overpark Avenue, is charged with buggery of a donkey between February and April 1999 and buggery with a horse in March 2004.

1. With any luck, 2010 will be just that - buggery of a bunch of donkeys.

2. I recall this event occurring in the late 1990s with a horse near a certain Wisconsin city I will not name.  A man who had been recently released from a psych ward got himself out into the countryside, found a horse farm, went over the fence, and somehow (I can’t comprehend) did his thing.  The horse (a magnificent, expensive creature) went into shock and may have died.  He went back to a psych ward, charged with trespassing, violating parole, and destruction of property) which may have been his plan all along.  My sympathies lie with the owners, the sheriff, psych ward staff, and, of course, the horse.  I can’t imagine how I would reacted if I was the owner and caught this man in the act: A shotgun loaded with rock salt comes to mind; however, such tactics would likely be viewed unkindly by a judge and the horse’s state of shock would likely be further affected by the sound of the blast.  A call to the sheriff, the veterinarian, and the insurance agent is the rational reaction, followed by disbelief and tears.
