Canada’s Supreme Court Legalizes Some Sex Acts with Animals.{see photos}

Image
In a quixotic ruling, the country’s high court ruled that a man who was on trial for raping and sexually exploiting his own daughters wasn’t guilty of “bestiality.” The man reportedly, “smeared peanut butter on the genitals of his victims and had the family dog lick it off while he videotaped the act.” The convicted man took his case to the Canadian Supreme Court, demanding that the bestiality charge be nullified. In the end, the court agreed. As a result of the rape case, the court ruled 7 to 1 that humans having sexual contact with animals is OK if there is no “penetration” involved in the act.

The little boy’s intervention enraged Zachary, who punched the youngster so hard in the chest that he fell onto a wall and struck his head, prosecutors said.Sadly, when little JB got back up, the boyfriend allegedly told the tot to ‘put up his hands’ to fight like a grown man before punching him a second time. Just imagine! The impact of the strike caused the child to hit his head against the wall again, and left him with severe injuries to his organs, NBC reports. He tragically bled to death after his tiny liver was crushed, a medical examiner ruled. Z...

The shocking incident happened earlier in the week at Bulawayo, Zimbabwe as students ran helter skelter after the sudden appearance of a snake during school assembly. The incident left many of the students injured in the ensuing pandemonium. Speaking about what actually happened, a reliable source told Zimbabwean media outlet, B-Metro : “It’s not really clear what caused the children to run away from school because there are two different versions; both involve a snake. ”When they were at the assembly point, it’s said one pupil fell down and started moving like a snake resulting in teachers and pupils scurrying. “Some pupils claim it was a real snake and they ran away after seeing it. “Others just screamed and followed the rest,” he said.
