Honestly, this is solely for amusement and nothing more sinister...
Seeing this story about a Sudanese man forced to pay a dowry for and 'marry' a goat after having sex with it reminded me of... (UPDATE: Scott Adams now reports this too)
This one - via Scott Adams - about a man found having sex with a dead deer (also: necrophilia), which apparently raised interesting legal questions about whether a dead deer was still legally an animal, and...
This one, emailed to me by Rob, about an Irish man who brought a donkey into his hotel room. Not clear this one is sexual, because he seemed to have some Shrek delusion, but "McCarney was found in the room wearing a latex suit and handcuffs... He was fined €2,000 for bringing the donkey to the room under the Unlawful Accommodation of Donkeys Act 1837. Other charges were dropped due to lack of evidence." (UPDATE: Ok, Rob says it's fictional, but still funny!)
Clearly, sex with animals is not only more common than I previously thought, but also very amusing!
It was later pointed out to me that that was clearly a hoax... The hotel receptionist is called Ms. Legova, for example, and the URL is suspiciously simple as well.
