The Enumclaw horse sex case was a 2005 incident in which Kenneth Pinyan〔 (June 22, 1960 – July 2, 2005), an American Boeing engineer residing in Gig Harbor, Washington, died from injuries received during anal sex with a stallion at a farm in an unincorporated area in King County, Washington, near the city of Enumclaw. During a July 2005 sex act, videotaped by a friend, Pinyan suffered a perforated colon from receptive anal intercourse from a stallion and later died of his injuries. The story was reported in ''The Seattle Times'' and was one of that paper's most read stories of 2005. It was informally referred to as the "Enumclaw horse sex case". Video footage of Pinyan and a horse was later disseminated through the Internet.〔 "The sex in “Zoo” is merely glimpsed and barely discernible in a few seconds of a video that the police had confiscated and that was circulated on the Internet after Mr. Pinyan’s death."〕 Pinyan's death rapidly prompted the passing of a bill in Washington prohibiting both sex with animals and the videotaping of the same. Under current Washington law, bestiality is now a Class C felony punishable by up to five years in prison. A documentary of the life and death of Pinyan, and the life led by those who came to the farm near Enumclaw, debuted at the Sundance Film Festival 2007 under the title ''Zoo''. It was one of 16 winners out of 856 candidates for the festival, and played at numerous regional festivals in the United States thereafter. Following Sundance, it was also selected as one of the top five American films to be presented at the prestigious Directors Fortnight sidebar at the 2007 Cannes Film Festival.〔"''Zoo'', which opens today in NY and LA, has just been selected as one of the features of the prestigious Directors Fortnight sidebar at this year's Cannes Film Festival". (Zoo: Inside the Controversial Documentary about Bestiality )〕〔Eugene Hernandez, "(CANNES '07: Slate Set for 49th Directors' Fortnight )", IndieWIRE, May 3, 2007.〕 ==Death== The incident occurred at a farm, located in an unincorporated area in King County, Washington,〔 "Tait, a truck driver who lives near the Southeast 444th Street farm where the death occurred, "〕 northwest of the city of Enumclaw.〔 Pinyan, and a man named James Michael Tait (who lived in a trailer next to the farm), plus another unidentified man, often visited the farm to engage in sexual intercourse with the horses inside. Prosecutors later determined that the horse had not been injured by being allowed to engage in sex in this manner.〔〔Foundas, Scott. "(Zoo )." ''Variety''. Friday May 18, 2007. Retrieved on September 17, 2010.〕 According to the Medical Examiner's Office, Pinyan "died of acute peritonitis due to perforation of the colon",〔 and the death was ruled accidental. He was anonymously dropped off at the Enumclaw Community Hospital.〔 On July 2, 2005, a man asked hospital staff for medical assistance for his companion. Pinyan was found dead in the emergency room, aged 45. The man who brought Pinyan into the hospital had disappeared by the time hospital staff came to contact him.〔 Media reports at the time of the trial suggested that despite seizing and examining carefully a large number of such videos from the property, no evidence of injury to the horses was found, precluding animal cruelty charges, and that the trespass charge against Tait were brought due to lack of grounds for any other matter: 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Enumclaw horse sex case」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
