My GOD. Once again, a woman does something wrong, and a man is charged as a result.

    A MAN HAS appeared before Limerick District Court charged with ordering his Alsatian dog to have sex with a 43-year-old mother of four, who died from an adverse allergic reaction to the intercourse.
    The Irish Sun reports that Sean McDonnell, 57, is charged with buggery contrary to Section 61 of the Offences against the Person Act of 1861 – and is believed to be the first person in Ireland to be charged under the legislation.
    The Irish Daily Star adds that McDonnell and the deceased woman had discussed the arrangement on a bestiality internet chat room, and that Gardaí are satisfied that the intercourse was consensual.
    The Alsatian dog has been kept in quarantine ever since the incident of 7 October, 2008, Patrick O’Connell wrote.
    The woman fell ill at around 7:30pm that evening and was rushed to Mid-Western Regional Hospital where she died at around 8pm. Tests showed she had died of anaphylaxis, a severe allergic reaction similar to that prompted by peanut allergies.
    The Sun’s Barry Moran said McDonnell could face a life sentence in prison if found guilty.

    Ok so here are the questions.
    1: Can you "order" a dog to have sex? I mean is that something you can train a dog to do on command...?

    I would imagine it's far more likely that he simply allowed her to have the dog and do what she wanted with it. In which case it would surely be animal cruelty but not buggery.

    2: More importantly: If the genders were reversed, do you think the women would have been charged with an offense for "ordering" her dog to screw a guy?

    More likely the guy would be charged if alive, or if not it would have been simply a tragic incident. Or else they would have found some obscure psychological reason to let her off.

    Equal rights? Pfffffffft.

    I am not in any way defending this incident, as a dog lover I find it utterly sick in every way. I am attacking what I perceive to be a double standard which stands out like a sore thumb in a society where men and women are supposed to be 100% equal.
