Bryan James Hathaway is the defendant in a Wisconsin court. What for? He is accused of having sexual relations with a dead deer. Even worse than that, before he the trial was started the defendant tried to get the case dismissed on the grounds that he couldn't be accused of raping the animal because it was dead.
Fredric Anderson, Hathaway's Lawyer, argued that when the animal died, it was no longer an animal, his exact quote is something, "The term 'animal' refers to a living organism, not a carcass." Luckily for us, as people that know its wrong to sleep with livestock or animals in general, Judge Lucci commented that, "Most people understand that an animal does not necessarily cease being or qualifying as an animal or even being referred to as an animal once it's dead. The 'primary focus' of Wisconsin's criminal statute dealing with crimes against sexual morality is on human behavior and on protecting sexual morality in the community, and not necessarily on animal protection."
I think this is a good thing, because everyone needs to know that there are just some things you can't do, this being one of them, not only is it sick, and it shows in Hathaway's past. Allegedly found the deer on the roadside dead in the ditch. It was dead when he found it. But also the man has a past of such things as being prosecuted for killing a horse that he meant to "sexually assault".
In the pictures I have, you can just tell that there is something up with this guy, I'm glad that at least the judge didn't rule in his favor.
