Florida Residents Please View ... Make the Sexual Abuse of Animals Illegal in Florida While 34 states make bestiality a crime, the sexual abuse of animals remains legal in Florida. The sexual abuse of animals is not only cruel but also an indicator of other violent and sexually deviant crimes. A study published in 2002 found that 96% of juveniles who had engaged in sex with nonhuman animals also admitted to sex offenses against humans. Because bestiality is legal in Florida, prosecutors are unable to address this cruelty. Fortunately, legislation (S.B. 744/H.B. 1227) has been introduced to make the sexual abuse of animals a crime in Florida. Please contact your state senator, Anthony Hill, and state representative, Charles McBurney, to express your support for S.B. 744/H.B. 1227. TAKE ACTION Please make a brief, polite phone call to Representative McBurney at (850) 488-4171 and Senator Hill at (850) 487-5024 to urge support for legislation to make the sexual abuse of animals illegal. When making your call, you will likely speak to a staff member who will pass your message along to your legislator. Remember to be polite and professional, and leave your name and address so it is clear that you are a constituent. You can say: "Hello, my name is [your name] and I am calling from [your town] to ask [legislator's name] to support S.B. 744/H.B. 1227 to make the sexual abuse of animals illegal in Florida. 34 states make this a crime and Florida needs to join them. Thank you." After making your calls, please send a follow-up email to your legislators in support of legislation to make the sexual abuse of animals a crime in Florida. And please don't forget to tell your friends and family in Florida how they can take action, too. Thank you for all you do for animals. Sincerely, Michael Markarian Executive Vice President The Humane Society of the United States |
