The Execution of Thomas Granger

There was actually an hour program on History Channel on this topic.  Yes OZ is historically accurate.  Most of the documentation is court records.  Critter sex was pretty common apparently.  I'm guessing human sex among Puritans is pretty damn scarce, and you stood as good a chance of getting killed for it as with the goat..... 




Yes, they did murder Thomas Granger for buggering "a mare, a cow, two calves, two goats, five sheep and a turkey." It was murder by a cult, just as surely as ISIS beheads people for what they deem transgressions.




Apparently, one driving motivation was the deep suspicion that someone was having fun! I have no use for any religion. They are all myths and while some do some good deeds, the whole idea of "believing" is a abdication from "understanding".




Can I find that program on Youtube?  What was it called?
