The guy on the Springer episode that didn´t air was George Willard a.k.a. Hossie a.k.a. "The Horseman" Mark Matthews, author of the "zoo bible"...and a badly tattooed knobhead desperately trying to sell his beastiality "needs" as zoophilia. Died in the end of the nineties or around the millennium shift and found it a good idea to "go public" as some kind of twisted heritage for the "zoo community".
Well, I haven´t put the major batch of my attention onto US laws regarding zoophilia and bestiality, I just know the basics. We Europeans usually are baffled by the 50 separate states with their own laws plus the federal laws...and when it comes to "you aren´t allowed to fart on Easter sunday between midnight and 4.30 AM in Minnesota" type of laws, we Europeans usually laugh.

Our laws are pretty permissive and usually show some kind of "clemency" towards caught "zoos". Without Mr Pinyan and all the hassle his case has generated and the following masses of "zoo activists" like the ZETA group (formed in 2009) , things would be different. At least for the European zoos.
Nonetheless, I still have to discover a case where "non intrusive zoophilia" ( no fencehopping, no publication of animal porn etc.) has led to a conviction on both sides of the Atlantic. Most cases end up in front of a judge because the "zoos" screwed up themselves and brought the attention of authorities onto themselves.
