…file with DPP

A twenty-seven-year-old man is reported to have entered the cow pen of Rural Constable Ramzan Shaw of Good Hope, Canal Number 1, West Bank Demerara at approximately 22:00hrs on Wednesday last, and proceeded to sexually assault a two-day-old calf.
He, however, was allegedly caught in the act, and now risks a two-year jail term and fines of up to $1million.
“I hear the cow and calf making plenty noise, so I take my torchlight and a piece of wood and went to investigate. When I reach the pen, I see this man on his knee having sex with my two-day-old calf,” Shaw related.
Having made the “sickening” discovery, Shaw said, he raised an alarm and subsequently arrested the man. “I had to tackle he, because he try to run away; and after I catch he and put on the handcuff, he start to beg me not to take he to the station,” Shaw said.
The suspect was escorted to the La Grange Police Station, where he is currently detained. A search on his person revealed that he had in his possession approximately 3 grammes of marijuana.
“When the Police discovered he had the marijuana, they lock him up, and Friday they take him to the Wales Magistrate’s Court and charge him for the marijuana. He plead guilty and them give he community service, and he still at the Wales Police Station,” Shaw said.
Shaw said the suspect has been living in the area for about ten years, and is unmarried and has no children. He is yet to be charged with beastiality since, according to the Police, the file is engaging the attention of the Director of Public Prosecution.
Article 31 (1) of the Sexual Offences Act states that “a person commits the offence of intercourse with an animal if he, with his penis, penetrates the vagina or anus of a living animal, and he knows that, or is reckless as to whether, it is the vagina or anus of a living animal that is penetrated.”
Further Article 31 (3) states that “a person who commits an offence under this section is liable – (a) on summary conviction, to a fine of one million dollars and to imprisonment for two years; (b) on conviction on indictment, to imprisonment for five years.”
“I really want this thing highlighted, because is not the first time this happening in the area; and them does thief the cows too. So we need people to know what is going on in this place,” Shaw explained.
There have, over the years, been several reported cases of beastiality, with no outcomes reported. The act is scorned upon by both society and animal activists, and there have been worldwide calls for harsher penalties to be applied.
Beastiality, or zoophilia, is legal in some countries, like Hungary, Finland and Romania. After cases of bestiality had been increased in Denmark, once touted as a tourist destination for zoophilics, that country had to amend its laws in 2015.
