68.174.6.36: /* Death */

'''Kenneth Pinyan''' ([[June 22]], [[1960]] - [[July 2]], [[2005]]) was a [[Gig Harbor]]<ref>[http://www.courierherald.com/articles/2006/07/12/news/news2.txt The Enumclaw Courier-Herald]</ref>, [[Washington (U.S. state)|Washington]] (a [[suburb]] in the greater [[Seattle-Tacoma]] area) resident who engaged in receptive [[anal sex]] with full-size [[stallion (horse)|stallion]]s at a farm near the city of [[Enumclaw, Washington|Enumclaw]]. He videotaped those sex acts and distributed them informally under the name '''Mr. Hands'''.

During a July 2005 sex act, which was being videotaped by a friend of his, he suffered a [[gastrointestinal perforation|perforated colon]], and later died of his injuries. The story was reported in the ''[[The Seattle Times]]'' and was one of that paper's most read stories of 2005<ref>{{cite news|url=http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/localnews/2002711400_danny30.html|accessdate=2006-05-15|title=Horse sex story was online hit|publisher=The Seattle Times|date=December 30, 2005}}</ref>.

Pinyan's death prompted the passing of a bill in Washington State prohibiting both [[bestiality|sex with animals]], and the videotaping of the same, some months later. However, the video seen by many others was before the accident.

A documentary of the life and death of Pinyan, and the life led by those who came to the farm near Enumclaw as he did, debuted at the [[Sundance Film Festival]] 2007 under the title ''[[Zoo (movie)|Zoo]]''. It was one of 16 winners out of 856 candidates for the festival,<ref>[http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/localnews/2003459228_danny03.html The Seattle Times: Local News: New movie is the spawn of horse sex]</ref> and played at numerous regional festivals in the USA thereafter.<ref>[http://blogs.indiewire.com/mattdentler/archives/013464.html Matt Dentler's Blog: Cannes Countdown: Directors' Fortnight Lineup Impresses]</ref> Following Sundance, it was also selected as one of the top five American films to be presented at the "prestigious" Directors Fortnight sidebar at the 2007 [[Cannes Film Festival]].<ref>"''Zoo'', which opens today in NY and LA, has just been selected as one of the features of the prestigious Directors Fortnight sidebar at this year's Cannes Film Festival".

The media outlets that reported the story withheld Pinyan's name. His name was revealed on national radio by talk show host [[Tom Leykis]] in the summer of 2005.
