Burlington County Assistant Prosecutor Kevin Morgan uttered this insight after a New Jersey judge dismissed animal cruelty charges against Moorestown police officer Robert Melia.
The September 2009 determination pushed state lawmakers to finally pursue legislation that bans sexual contact with animals. The state Senate voted 35-0 on a measure that protects animals from human sexual predators.

The bill identifies bestiality as a fourth-degree criminal offense, punishable by 18 months in prison and a fine of $10,000 or both. An obvious question is what took New Jersey lawmakers hundreds of years to get this bill onto a governor’s desk?
Melia allegedly had engaged in oral sex acts with five calves in Southampton in 2006 but Superior Court Judge James Morely said he had no way to determine whether the calves were “tormented.”
Morgan followed with his humdinger comment that sounded cowbells throughout Garden State pastures. Judge Morely postured that he made his decision based on law and not moral codes established by society.
What’s amazing is that for the longest time, bestiality remained legal in states that banned same-sex marriage. You could get caught inside a local hotel with a German Shepherd or Chihuahua and walk but homosexual and lesbian trysts were prosecuted.
Or, a person could be jailed for prostitution violations but walk if found wrapped in the arms of a sex-crazed Hoot Owl.
If states like Alabama, New Hampshire, Ohio, Texas, and West Virginia allow bestiality then at some point courts should permit intervention testimony offered by dog, horse, and cow whisperers.
“Judge Morely, all calves have convinced me that they felt completely violated by Mr. Melia’s actions,” the cow whisperer might testify.
What’s really impressive is that Senate members voted unanimously in favor of this bill. One can imagine the potential suspicions if one Senate member voted against the bestiality law.
Media members would make a mad cow dash to that Senator’s backyard to interview a list of barnyard animals. Anyway, bill A3012 moves to Gov. Chris Christie’s desk for his signature.
Gov. Christie vetoed a bill that prohibited pigs from being hampered in gestation crates. Of course, Christie supports legislation that stops sex games with piglets, calves, and little ponies.
So, all you animal sex freaks, it’s time to say Goodbye Kitty.
