The people who are doing it for kicks aren't going to be the ones actually DOING this. People who have sex with animals are going to get marriage certificates and use them as a justification for continued perversion. Just check out <a href="http://blog.wired.com/tableofmalcontents/2007/01/poly_furries_in.html" rel="nofollow">this link</a> for an example of animal wifery gone wrong. I'm not the kind to use the word perversion in such a sense, as I'm generally a <i>Savage Love</i> 3G's kind of girl, but creating anything that could lend validity to acted-upon zoophilia is NOT something that should be mentioned in the same breath with 'marriage equality'.

I tried to google it, but I didn't want to use the combination of "sex," "dog" and "man" for obvious reasons.

He thought it would lift the curse. Some eastern religions have mock marriages to animals to ward off bad luck or bring blessings to the village. Sex is not involved. Now we do have cuckoos that marry their pet for a kick. Hopefully it's not sexual, it's just like getting a tattoo (a symbol of commitment or memory). Any other reason is sick and weird.

Those people should be in jail or a mental institution. Either way, they're not stable. This post is making me nauseous. Those people should be in jail or a mental institution.

Loving your pet and "loving" your pet are very different. How do they respond to the Do You questions? With a face lick, a howl or just blinking will do?! Very interesting.

I refuse to make the same mistake again therefore, my cats will not push me into another unequal marriage. (Aside from the fact that the boys are gay and a little incestuous being brothers).
