Irish donkey sex case shocks net

Updated Netizens have reacted with a mixture of horror and disbelief to a story which recently appeared on Galway First entitled “Lonely man brought donkey to hotel room, court told”.

We say recently, because the stampede of surfers rushing down to check the outrage for themselves appears to have brought down galwayfirst.ie.

No matter. Here’s a handy grab of the orginal story, and the full text below:

A man who was found dressed in latex and handcuffs brought a donkey to his room in a Galway city centre hotel, because he was advised “to get out and meet people,” the local court heard last week.

Thomas Aloysius McCarney, with an address in south Galway, was charged with cruelty to animals, lewd and obscene behaviour, and with being a danger to himself when he appeared before the court on Friday. He was also charged with damage to a mini-bar in the room, but this charge was later dropped when the defendant said that it was the donkey who caused that damage. Solicitor for the accused Ms Sharon Fitzhenry said that her client had been through a difficult time lately and that his wife had left him and that his life had become increasingly lonely.
