Swedes: Hate Bush, "Love" Animals

And when I say "love," I of course mean "have sex with."

From Swedes Against Bush:

"...The Swedes and Americans have had a long, caring relationship over this last century. You drive our Saabs, we drive your Fords. You listen to ABBA, we listen to Britney Spears. Thousands of Swedes emigrated to your nation hundred of years ago, in search of a better life. And for that we thank you. But you see, ever since Bush Jr. took office... things have changed. Your government has begun to upset the world more and more and by now we've frankly had enough. Unfortunately, most of the things Bush does affects our lives as well - it's not just you he's screwing! So, as a way to show our love for democracy, we've created this web page to show you that you are not alone - Scandinavia wants to get rid of Bush as much as you do..."

From "The Local," headline Sweden highlights bestiality problem:

...Bestiality, or sex with animals, is a growing problem in Sweden and in many cases the animals suffer physical injury...which species are most often abused and whether the animals suffer psychologically from the abuse...

Horses are most often subjected to violations. Even if it is difficult to assess an animal's degree of psychological suffering, it is likely that it experiences discomfort or is subjected to psychological suffering even in cases where there
is no evidence of physical injury...

Assessing the psychological suffering of an animal? I don't know if I'd put it in those terms. But it is very nasty.

And as for inflicting "physical injury" on a horse via bestiality... well, jeepers, I'd like to shake that man's hand.

What does this prove? Well, nothing, really. But then, it doesn't really prove anything about the US that we're a bit overweight and we like McDonald's and lots of ketchup, and yet the Europeans never stop nattering on about that.

So, the next time a Swede starts bitching and complaining about American "cowboys," just point out that cowboys here in America ride our horses in the conventional style; i.e., on the back, not from behind.

Thanks to RCL.
