I read this article yesterday. snopes has a link to the actuall motion to dismiss filed by his lawyer. In short, he’s saying that a dead deer isn’t really an animal since Webster’s defines an animal as a living thing. So since the deer was dead there can be no charge of sexual gratification with an animal. He even went as far as to quote the movie “The Princess Bride” by saying “As Billy Crystal noted in The Princess Bride (1987), ‘There’s a big difference between mostly dead and all dead.'”
