Sheriff Joe Arpaio says he's "research[ing]"what he can do to Craigslist, after his deputies again found people on the website trying to have sex with dogs.

Of course, this revelation came in the form of an attention-seeking letter/press release to Craigslist CEO Jim Buckmaster, asking the Craigslist head why he never writes back.

"Sheriff Arpaio has also offered to sit down in person to discuss what can and cannot be done," the MCSO press release says. "Sheriff Arpaio says he will continue to investigate these types of violations involving animals, and also research what action could be taken against Craigslist, especially since the CEO/President refuses to cooperate."

According to Arpaio's knowledge on the bestiality matter, which he described in a previous letter, there are sections on the website called "men seeking men" and "casual encounters," which Arpaio describes as being "often accompanied by graphic photographs depicting a fully nude male in various pornographic situations."

That was more of a side-note, as the point of Arpaio's letter was to scold Craigslist for not immediately deleting posts made by people who might be interested in having sex with dogs.

After James Naylor became the sixth person since February 2011 to be arrested by the MCSO for allegedly trying to find a hot date with a dog on Craigslist, Arpaio got a bit more whiny in his letter to Buckmaster.

"Again I write you imploring you to reason," Arpaio writes . "Will you, again, ignore my concern?"
