Horse rapist article follows tale of man-dog lovin’
July 31, 2009 at 2:50 pm by Scott Henry in NewsApparently, not enough people are having sex with animals in Atlanta, so the AJC had to go with a wire story out of South Carolina.
I don’t usually read “The Vent,” but this reader offering caught my eye:
Yeah they replaced the ‘man having sex with a dog’ with ‘man having sex with a horse’. Something is very wrong…
I can’t tell if the reader is complaining about people’s F’ed up sexually proclivities or the AJC’s coverage choices, but sure enough, following its staff-written piece about a Jonesboro man who’s a little too fond of his dog, the AJC picked up a lovely wire story about a 50-year-old South Carolinian charged with — I kid you not — “buggery” after horse owner Barbara Kenley caught him molesting her mare. Here’s the kicker: The perp had pleaded guilty to the same charge last year after being caught forcing himself on the same damn horse!
Here are more details than you need:
“Police kept telling me it couldn’t be the same guy,” Kenley said. “I couldn’t believe that there were two guys going around doing this to the same horse.”
She spent several nights at the stables, which are about four miles from her home, but didn’t find anything. So she installed surveillance cameras, and when she reviewed the footage from July 19, she couldn’t believe she was seeing the same man doing the same thing to her horse.
Kenley didn’t call police because she was certain the man would come back to the stable, and she wanted to make sure he was arrested. So she staked out the barn and caught Vereen inside Monday night, chasing him to his truck and holding him with her shotgun until police came.
For readers who still haven’t gotten their fill of bestiality-related news coverage, the AJC did a lengthy follow-up feature on the zoophilia phenomenon titled, “Sex with animals? It’s not uncommon.” As usual, PETA proves to be a real wet blanket:
“It is shocking. It should be illegal in every state,” said Stephanie Bell with People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals. “It’s not a laughing matter. Even in cases where physical harm doesn’t occur to the animal, it’s still cruel.”

Thank you Scott Henry.
I’ve had a post saved (but not posted) about these ridiculous bestiality articles for about a week now. Such pandering. They saw the popularity of the dog sex article on Sunday and Monday and jumped on the horse sex article Wed.
And just when I thought they couldn’t stretch this disturbing theme any farther, they tasked someone to do a damn recap! As GriftDrift has said before, blogs aren’t the new journalism…but journalism does sometimes occur on blogs.
Well the damn sword cuts the other way too. Sometimes journalism DOESN’T occur in newspapers and they’re just as bad as an incendiary blogger pandering for clicks…except with more animal sex.

It is common knowledge in South Cack-a-lackee that fucking the horse makes the meat more tender and the glue tougher.
