Nay Means Nay

We cover a lot of horse related stories on the BYB - from the heart touching tale of Tabitha Darling and her Seeing Eye horse (and her being one of the few and proud commenters on the BYB) to the stomach turning tales of horse buggery, including the story of twice arrested horse banger Rondell Vereen.

Vereen was famous in the weird news world for being the first man (at least that we know of) to be arrested for sleeping with the same horse twice. At the time I wasn’t sure if I was okay with seeing Vereen have to register as a sex offender. But a hardened heart and the photo of the man recently arrested in Texas for a similar act have changed my mind.

Meet Cirilo Castillo, or as I like to call him the face of fear.

From Gawker - A Texas man has now been arrested and jailed two separate times for having sex with the same horse. Hidalgo County sheriff's deputies arrested Cirilo Castillo earlier this week after they allegedly caught him – on video, no less — having sex with the horse, named Nadia, in her corral.

Castillo is apparently obsessed with Nadia. So obsessed that he returned to have sex with her just three months after he was jailed for having sex with her, or, more specifically, after he was jailed for cruelty to animals. (Texas, as it turns out, does not have a law against bestiality).

Nadia's owners realized Castillo might be back when they found a "mysterious bucket" in her corral, though they didn't specify what made the bucket mysterious. The owners then set up a video camera to catch Castillo in the act and contacted the Hidalgo County sheriff's department.

“We have a hell of a surveillance tape,” Hidalgo County Sheriff Lupe Trevino told the Houston Chronicle. “It is not going to go to, ‘America’s Funniest Videos,’ that is for sure.”

Trevino went on, describing Castillo as a laborer with prior arrests for minor crimes like theft and marijuana possession.

“The guy is practically harmless, except for the horse,” Trevino said.

Because there's no law against bestiality in Texas, Castillo can, according to Trevino, only be charged with trespassing and maybe cruelty to the horse, if there's evidence the animal was hurt. Trevino didn't say if the “hell of a surveillance tape” included such evidence.

The Hidalgo County Sherrif can dish out whatever platitudes he wants about Castillo being harmless but I’m going to have nightmares about this guy’s grill giving a demented grin while he’s getting some tail, literally.

And why doesn’t Texas have a law against bestiality? Every time gay marriage gets brought up in this state right wing lawmakers say it would be a slippery slope toward people marrying animals. You know what is a real slippery slope toward that? It not being illegal to bang animals.

Anywho, I have to go take a shower and pretend I didn’t just blog about this. I hope I don’t see a mysterious bucket when I get out.
