     FIFTEEN BOYS INFECTED WITH RABIES AFTER GANG RAPING A DONKEY

            A donkey

Fifteen boys in the village of Sidi Kamel in northwestern region of Gharb-Chrarda-Béni Hssen of Morocco were hospitalized after contracting rabies when they gang raped an infected donkey. 

The boys between the age of seven and fifteen were rushed to hospital after discovering the animal had the disease, according to local reports. Families of the perpetrators are ashamed and shocked, reports indicate. Many families with boys of a similar age in the village had them vaccinated with the rabies inoculation out of fear that they may have had sex with the animal.

Initially, the boys were taken to hospital to treat symptoms which were later found to be rabies. When asked if they had been bitten, they confessed that they had engaged in sexual activity with the animal. The infected boys stayed at the Mechraa Belksiri Hospital for one week to receive a rabies vaccination.

The shocking incident left the families of the youngsters “in distress and horror.”

It was also claimed the actual number infected could be a lot higher as many families took their sons for treatment at hospitals outside the immediate area to avoid shame.

Local authorities are now trying to find anyone else who has “approached” or “admired” the animal closely to limit further spread of disease. The owner of the donkey allegedly fed up of being mocked and the talk of the town, put it to sleep.
