A star Australian rugby league player has quit after a photograph of him performing a sex act with a dog was distributed on the Internet.
Joel Monaghan played with the Canberra Raiders in Australia's National Rugby League, the highest level of professional rugby in the world -- a league as popular in parts of Australia as the NFL is in the United States.
Monaghan was attending an end-of-season house party with up to 30 Canberra players and friends when someone snapped a photo of the star player with a teammate's Labrador dog.

Rugby star Joel Monaghan has canceled his contract with the Canberra Raiders after a photograph circulated on the Internet showing him having a sexual encounter with a dog.
The image was later distributed on the micro-blogging service Twitter before making its way to the media. One week after the picture surfaced -- greeted by widespread shock and condemnation -- the 28-year-old player announced he had asked that his approximately $250,000 per year contract with Canberra be canceled.
"I accept total responsibility for what happened," Monaghan said. "It was a moment of madness, and while it was totally out of character, I have to cop the consequences. I'm disappointed that the photo was distributed, but I should never have put myself in that situation. It's something I will have to live with for the rest of my life..."
Well, that's really gross haha. Though I've been guilty of doing stupid stuff while under the influence, but ****ing an animal?!
Discuss the comparison of animal cruelty between Monaghan/Vick, the alcohol tolerance level between different ethnic groups, or feel free to share any stupid drunk stories that you may have!

Loaf: Meier is the best.
Meier: Hey Pete, I said I started to, it just didn't end the with the same number of women. Then again this one is kind of on the outs with me if she doesn't straighten up and fly right so that means I will be back in it for the thrill of the kill. Got some in the reserves. Even got a rePETEr (<---- like that ay? AYYYYY?) on the back burner.
Block: I do like the rePETEr except it kinda makes it sound like you're going to pork Pete. No homo.
