Irish donkey sex case shocks net

[mawilson 2,133]

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 original 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.

"Mr McCarney has been attending counselling at which he was told that he would be

advised to get out and meet people and do interesting things. It was this advice that saw

him book into the city centre hotel with a donkey," she said. She added that Mr McCarney

also suffered from a fixation with the Shrek movies and could constantly be heard at work

talking to himself saying things like "Isn't that right, Donkey?"

Supt John McBrearty told the court that Mr McCarney who had signed in as "Mr Shrek" had

told hotel staff that the donkey was a family pet and that this was believed by the hotel

receptionist who the supt said was "young and hadn't great English."

Receptionist Irina Legova said that Mr McCarney had told her that the donkey was a breed

of "super rabbit" which he was bringing to a pet fair in the city. The court was told that the

donkey went berserk in the middle of the night and ran amok in the hotel corridor, forcing

hotel staff to call the gardai.

McCarney was found in the room wearing a latex suit and handcuffs, the key to which the

donkey is believed to have swallowed. He was removed to Mill St station after which it is

said he was the subject of much mirth among the lads next door in The Galway Arms.

He was fined €2,000 for bringing the donkey to the room under the Unlawful Accommodation

of Donkeys Act 1837. Other charges were dropped due to lack of evidence.

It really sounds a lot worst than it apparently is. He was fined for bringing a donkey into the room. That's it! So what!

Now...if he was caught in the act of sexing up the donkey I would be outraged.

All things considered though...this is highly unusual. People keep dogs and cats in their living areas. It is uncommon to bring a donkey indoors though.

The whole thing sounds like a publicity stunt from an attention ####### / weirdo. IMO
