Over the years, Craigslist has taken many hits for not being more vigilant in monitoring the kinds of ads that lead to criminal activity. Now, "America's toughest sheriff" has sent a letter to the Craigslist CEO to "strongly encourage" the site to take more responsibility for its part in facilitating a love that dare not speak its name: bestiality.

Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan says that Craigslist is getting rid of its "erotic services" ads and will create a new adult category that Web site employees will review.

Three state attorneys general plan to meet with Craigslist representatives to begin negotiations toward eliminating advertisements from the site for prostitution and other suspected illegal sexual activities.
