A regular at the parties stated that Pinyan’s affinity for inserting large objects into himself was nothing strange. His preference was to have the animal penetrate him. On July 1, 2005, Pinyan came to the farm to have sex with a horse he kept there. It would also facilitate the development of a new bestiality law (McGanney, 2007 Mudede, 2015). His story would bring King County, more specifically the town of Enumclaw, into the national spotlight. One member of the group was Kenneth Pinyan, a Boeing engineer. They also had sex with animals (Devor & Mudede, 2007). When the friends gathered at the farm around 50 miles south of Seattle, Washington, they would watch movies, engage in conversation, eat, and drink. In the mid-2000s in the northwest United States, a group of friends who connected online would meet at a farm in rural King County for parties. It also considers the possibility of adding structural ritualization perspectives to the integrative model. The article concludes with recommendations for future research on law formation processes, such as including technological advancements as an essential structural foundation. The research specifically uses the circumstances surrounding the death of Kenneth Pinyan, and the subsequent Enumclaw horse sex scandal that took place in the summer of 2005, to support the idea that bestiality law can emerge due to specific factors: structural foundations, perceptions of crime and public demands for punishment, and triggering events. With qualitative findings from a media content study including newspaper articles, a documentary transcript, and a variety of online data sources, it explores the dynamics behind the formation of bestiality law in the state of Washington. This article examines the social construction of bestiality law in the United States using the Integrative Conflict Model of law formation.
