| 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

I ♥ Joey & Ralphie! Donating Member | I'm floored that this is not a crime in Florida!! I would think Mickey would be outraged!! Thanks for posting; I wonder what other states haven't yet made this act illegal.

| I got this reply today: Please write your legislators! Dear Robert & Susan, Thank you for your recent e-mail regarding House Bill (HB) 1227, which outlaws the practice of bestiality in Florida. As your State Representative, I appreciate learning of your concerns on this issue. When the Florida Legislature addresses HB 1227 during the current legislative session, I will be certain to keep your views in mind. Please be assured that I am opposed to morally deviant behavior like bestiality and intend to support this legislation. Again, I appreciate you taking the time to share your concerns with me. If I can be of assistance to you in the future on this or any other matter, please do not hesitate to contact me. Sincerely, Charles McBurney State Representative District 16
