CHEHALIS, Wash. –– A
man accused of having sex with his two dogs admitted in Lewis County
Superior Court he would be found guilty of cruelty to animals.
The 21-year-old from the town of Cinebar, Troy Whitson, was sentenced
Monday to 30 days in jail and a deviancy evaluation. He's restricted
from owning animals for two years. His malamutes have been placed with new owners.
Prosecutor Michael Golden told KITI Whitson is a member of a group
known as the Furries who identify with an animal and dress the part in
makeup, ears and tail. Golden says Furries gather for social
events but having sex with animals is not part of their normal
behavior. He says two other Furries who met Whitson witnessed the
animal sex and turned him in.
