Thanks to the 54-year-old man’s recent crime spree in Brown County and his sentencing two weeks ago in Brown County Circuit Court, he drew a lot of attention to the inadequacies in Wisconsin’s animal abuse laws, said Melissa Tedrowe, Wisconsin director of the Humane Society of the United States.
Rachwal, who has a record of molesting horses throughout central Wisconsin dating back to the 1980s, was sentenced to two years’ probation earlier this month for two counts of mistreating animals.
That meant for a lot of public comment Thursday at a legislative committee hearing on a bill to bolster the state’s laws.
“Testimony took two hours, and it was a full room,” Tedrowe said. “In a way, Sterling Rachwal did a favor for the state, because he knows the law so well, he was able to give us a crystal clear example of how our law is inadequate.”
As disgusting as this is, it is hard to make having sex with an animal to legislate. How do differentiate between a sick individual and someone who does artificial insemination on animals?
So, just make the pervert into a gelding and problem solved.
