Let me quote Douglas Spink's own words on what he considers unfair retaliation against him and the animals he rapes:
There is no 911 we can call—DO YOU GET THAT YET? Us, our families, we are FAIR GAME. Forever. We have no protection, no
defense but ourselves and our battered, hunted, persecuted community. And if we raise a FINGER to defend our families we will be killed or sent to prison for life—and our partners killed anyway—HOW DO YOU THINK THAT FEELS? TO HAVE THE MURDERERS WALKING FREE, FUCKING GIVING EACH OTHER AWARDS FOR FUCK’S SAKE? That is where we live, every second of every day.
:
It’s not just some “story,” not to us. It’s real. It is ongoing: the hate, the threats, the persecution, the risk to loved ones. Real. My “rapist” isn’t safely behind bars. My loved ones can be murdered AGAIN—tonite, tomorrow, next week...you cannot possibly understand that, and good that you cannot. It is a horror.
I'll not comment on this except to clarify his "loved ones" are the animals he sodomizes.
Edit:
@CarreenMaloney, I'm quoting the below from your book because frankly, you should have listened:
That was my introduction to Seattle attorney Jeffrey Steinborn. Steinborn, who specializes in drug-related offenses, was the first lawyer hired by Spink after his 2005 arrest for smuggling cocaine. Back then, Spink didn’t think Steinborn was pursuing what he believed was a viable motion to suppress the evidence in his case. Spink not only fired Steinborn,
he also provided information about him to the feds because he was dissatisfied with how his case was being handled. Steinborn never found out exactly what happened, but for six months afterwards, he lived under threat of indictment. “It was pretty scary,” he said. Now Steinborn was attending Spink’s probation hearing, but only as a spectator. He wanted the satisfaction of seeing his former client in trouble again. “I just came to enjoy watching him get fucked, basically. He ruined my life for so long.”
At the hearing and in a follow-up phone call I made to him, Steinborn warned me emphatically against writing about Spink. He urged me to carefully consider whether I should publish this book. His caution was dark and foreboding; he said that to continue interacting with Spink would destroy my quality of life forever, and that I would live to regret it.
Steinborn had wise advice. You were a fool in my view to reject it.
And given the intentions behind the text I've been reading, I can only hope your defense of this animal molestor hangs around your neck as a lifelong disgrace.
Edit 2: Finally finished the book, let me quote the final paragraph, because it underscores perfectly why Douglas Spink is a monster and so is anyone who defends him.
Uniquely Dangerous sheds light on a phenomenon that—until now— has been so unspeakable in our society that it remained carefully hidden. The secrecy doesn’t change anything, though. The zoos are going to keep doing what they’re doing because it’s who they are. The animals will never tell. And nothing I write in this book and beyond will ever change that.
Note the part in bold, especially
"The animals will never tell."
They can't, and no matter how Douglas or any of his defenders and fellow animal rapists try to sugarcoat things, they are engaging in sexual relations for the express purpose of sexual relations with those cannot lawfully consent, understand the consequences of the actions they are involved in as concerns sex with humans bound to the laws of society, and disregards that animals are lawfully protected against sexual exploitation in this manner because it is done in a manner that only one of the parties can both sexually enjoy and understand the consequences of.
Spink is a defiant, unrepentant animal rapist, he's a mentally ill man who never realized his lust for animals was an unhealthy deviance, and now he's engaged his own aberrations to the point he is unwilling to ever change his ways., regardless of any legal or other consequences, and actively seeks to and professes intent to elude, evade,and defy such consequences.
He is, by any definition, based on the evidence (whitewashed as the book I read is), a danger to animals and to society at large, and anyone who can defend that is either an accomplice to his actions or an enabling influence on his continued deviance.
