BY MELANIE BENNETT
Staff Writer
An Atlanta man was arrested Thursday afternoon after he smeared feces on himself and walked around a department store :=8O in Columbus, police said.
Antoine Williams, 26, of 438 Vine St. NW, was charged with disorderly conduct after the incident at Macy's in Peachtree Mall, said Columbus Police Lt. Richard Gaines.
Williams is scheduled for a Recorder's Court hearing at 8 a.m. today.
Gaines said Williams entered the men's rest room at Macy's about 6 p.m.
He defecated, Gaines said, then smeared feces over the walls and on himself.
Gaines said Williams then walked out into the department store."Everybody saw it," Gaines said. "He didn't try to touch anyone -- he was just walking through the store."
Mall security caught Williams, Gaines said, and he was taken by ambulance to St. Francis Hospital for a psychiatric examination.
"They cleared him," Gaines said. Williams was then taken to the Muscogee County Jail.
Macy's employees would not comment about the incident.
Well, we are talking Macy's, after all, so its not THAT surprising... :=8/

Financier's pet cruelty shame
By Les Kennedy

Brendan McMahon could be a model for the sensitive New Age guy. He says he sponsors eight children in Guatemala, is a long-term member of the NSW Art Gallery Society and a successful financier. He even claims he was voted bachelor of the year in 1998.
But the New Zealand-born man has now been charged with bestiality and animal cruelty.Police allege that McMahon, 36, of North Sydney, had sexual relations with one of 18 rabbits whose mutilated carcasses have been dumped in the city over the past three weeks. :=8O
He appeared before a Central Local Court magistrate, Allan Moore, yesterday on 21 charges, having been arrested at 1 am in Tamarama. He offered no plea.
The investigation began after skinned and partially skinned dead and dying rabbits began to appear in a lane off York Street, near Circular Quay, late last month. Police also found a dead guinea pig. :=8O
The lane adjoined a building in which McMahon allegedly occupied a first-floor office, from which he ran a financial planning and mortgage brokerage, Meares-McMahon Capital with Jason Meares, the brother of Jodhi Packer. The company was formerly known as Transpacific Securities.
During their investigations, police from The Rocks phoned city pet stores to find who had been buying rabbits and found a number of purchases from a credit card in McMahon's name. They also seized a security video of one purchase.
McMahon was charged with 18 counts of committing acts of aggravated cruelty on 18 rabbits between July 20 and August 11. He was also charged with committing an act of bestiality with a rabbit :=8O on August 1 between 3am and 4am. He was also charged with two counts of possession of cannabis. Mr Moore refused McMahon bail and ordered him to reappear before the court next Friday via a prison videolink, when his barrister, barrister, Doug Marr, said he would apply for bail.
His company's website said McMahon was voted bachelor of the year by marie claire readers in 1998. In fact, that magazine does not run such a competition and another man was voted Cleo Bachelor of the Year in 1998. The website said of McMahon: "He is a long term member of the NSW Art Gallery Society and the 18 Footers Yacht Club in Double Bay. World Vision also appreciate his support for the eight children sponsored in one of their projects situated in Guatamala [sic]."
It also said he travelled regularly to New Zealand.

Enumclaw-area animal-sex case investigated
By Jennifer Sullivan
Seattle Times staff reporter
King County sheriff's detectives are investigating the owners of an Enumclaw-area farm after a Seattle man died from injuries sustained while having sex with a horse :=8O boarded on the property. Investigators first learned of the farm after the man died at Enumclaw Community Hospital July 2. The county Medical Examiner's Office ruled that the death was accidental and the result of having sex with a horse. A surveillance camera picked up the license plate of the car that dropped the man off at the hospital, which led detectives to the farm and other people involved, said sheriff's Sgt. John Urquhart.
Deputies don't believe a crime occurred because bestiality is not illegal in Washington state and the horse was uninjured, said Urquhart. But because investigators found chickens, goats and sheep on the property, they are looking into whether animal cruelty — which is a crime — was committed by having sex with these smaller, weaker animals, he said.
The farm was talked about in Internet chat rooms as a destination for people looking to have sex with livestock, he said." :=8O
A significant number of people, we believe, have likely visited this farm," said Urquhart. The Humane Society of the United States intends to use the case during the next state legislative session as an example of why sex with animals should be outlawed in Washington, said Bob Reder, a Humane Society regional director in Seattle. "This and a few other cases that we have will allow us a platform to talk about sex abuse of animals," Reder said.
Thirty-three states ban sex with animals, he said. Susan Michaels, co-founder of local animal-rights organization Pasado's Safe Haven, said she has been fighting to have bestiality made illegal. "It's animal cruelty behind closed doors," Michaels said.

That's it! I am demanding the withdrawl of all cows in the state of Washington, and all other states where beastiality is encouraged, until the situation changes drastically! C'mon everybody, let's have a million moo-er march on Washington!!!!
