Cirilo Castillo is accused of two counts of cruelty to animals and two counts of criminal trespass and has bonds set at $60,000 by Justice of the Peace Charlie Espinoza. Investigators identified Castillo from the videos and he was arrested last Tuesday according to records.

Also another rancher in nearby Alberta had spoken to investigators too after catching Castillo with his mares on four occasions, allegedly, according to court records. The rancher claimed he had watched Castillo tying up the horses and having sex with them, he then identified Castillo from a photo line-up.

Castillo admitted to police during an interview that he had sex with his neighbour’s horse and also having sex with another horse at a different ranch.

A study conducted on 492 Brazilian men who were aged between 18 and 80 found that 35% of them have had sex with an animal. The men questioned were from rural Brazil and researchers also found that 118 of them were penile cancer patients. Some of the animals the men had sex with included mares, cows, pigs and chickens.

Those who admitted to having sex with animals reported a variety of frequencies for their sex acts, ranging from monthly to daily, 59 per cent of men who had sex with animals had done so 59 per cent of men who had sex with animals. 21 per cent of those asked had continued to have sex with animals for over five years.

The term used to describe the odd behaviour of having sex with animals is call zoophilia in some countries it is not outlawed, however in most countries it is illegal under animal abuse laws.

Researchers found that zoophilia could be linked to penile cancer however they found no association between penile cancer and the number of animals the men had “used,” or a link between penile cancer and the species of the animals. The research which was published in the Journal of Sexual Medicine states that sex with animals causes penile cancer, only that sex with animals “SWA” was associated with the malignancy.

Stenio de Cassio Zequi, an urologist in Sao Paolo, told LiveScience: “We think that the intense and long-term SWA practice could produce micro-traumas in the human penile tissue. The genital mucous membranes of animals could have different characteristics from human genitalia, and the animals’ secretions are probably different from human fluids. Perhaps animal tissues are less soft than ours, and non-human secretions would be toxic for us.”

Back to zoophilia, another study published in 2003 which looked at 114 zoophiles in the U.S., Australia, New Zealand, and Europe found that 36 per cent lived in large cities and 83 per cent had completed at least some college and some even reported high incomes.

Reports from members of the public of the big cat or possible cub in the area caused the delays as officers searched the area using a police helicopter, train services were resumed after nothing was found. In total passengers were delayed for only 17 minutes before the search was stopped at around 3.30pm. Investigations into the incident were continuing, according to a spokesman for West Yorkshire Police last night.

Network rail also issued a statement stating that one train service was delayed for 17 minutes while police carried out the search. The spokeswoman said: “There were slight delays to services because of the alleged sightings of a lioness and her cub.”

According to Inspector Carlton Young, of West Yorkshire Police the search would be resumed if there were any more reports.
Passengers were kept up to date with the goings on with National Rail Enquiries stating on their Twitter feed: “Passengers are currently unable to alight from trains at Shepley due to reports by police of a lion in the area.”

It’s not the first time police have been scrambled this year due to a big cat sighting, in May Police received several calls reporting sightings of the tiger in a field near Hedge End, Southampton. A police helicopter was scrambled and a golf course cleared after a white tiger was spotted by members of the public. However this tiger turned out to be a stuffed toy!

The owner of the animals Terry Thompson had opened the animals cadges, he then committed suicide in what’s thought to be a act of spite against his neighbours. Thompson had recently been in jail on weapons charges and had a record for animal cruelty.

Homeowners in the area hid indoors while officers armed with high-powered rifles and shoot-to-kill orders scoured the nearby area including fields and woodland.  54 animals were released, 48 were killed by officers, six other animals, were captured and taken to Columbus Zoo they were; three leopards, a grizzly bear and two monkeys. Later on a wolf was found dead however a monkey is still left missing.

The decision by police to shoot and kill the animals may have not necessarily been a popular idea however there was the worry that if tranquilisers were used the animals could escape in the darkness before they dropped and would later regain consciousness.

The animals were released in Zanesville, which has a population of 25,000, local schools in the mainly rural area were closed and residents were urged to stay indoors along with their pets. Motorists were also alerted with flashing signs along highways which said ‘Caution exotic animals’ and ‘Stay in vehicle.’

The thirty five year old star f X-rated movie Hi-Ho Hi-Ho, It’s Up Your Arse We Go was discovered in a badgers den, partially eaten, by Ministry of Agriculture experts who were checking the den ahead of a planned badger-gassing program.

The midget porn stars 107 centimetre (3’6″) body was discovered ‘partially gnawed’ in the badger burrow, however at the moment it is unclear how the adult actor died, suicide has not been ruled out by investigators.

Adult film producer Dexter Yamunkeh said “Percy was a little guy with big problems… He was doing well but was under pressure like everyone else in this god damn industry.”

In a recent interview Percy Foster revealed his pleasure about his growing career as Ramsay’s double, he also stated: “Porn lookalikes get more money than normal actors. Dwarf lookalikes are as rare as hen’s teeth and so can command top dollar. I’ve already ordered a new BMW and a diamond-encrusted Soda Stream.”

The smell left by the incident forced shops to close early and people to leave the village, now police environment chiefs are investigating to find out what happened after the driver left an abattoir. According to police a man is due to appear before Aberystwyth magistrates for alleged breaches of environmental laws.

One holidaymaker, David Edwards, 48, said: “It was gruesome and the stench was horrific. The lorry was on its way from a slaughterhouse with dead cattle inside. But it must have been parked up for a while after being loaded because blood was seeping from the container on the back. It was like something from a horror film – people were sprayed with blood as the lorry went past.”

County councillor Elizabeth Evans said: “I sincerely hope the company are brought to task over this. The place was full of children and the town was packed with tourists. But all of a sudden it was as if someone just came and closed the curtains on Aberaeron. I am working to make sure that everyone affected is compensated.”

A clean up operation was put in place by council workers to tackle the mess left behind which looked like something from a horror movie, they cleaned pavements and washed out gullies to disinfect the town centre and rid it of the pungent smell left behind.

A council spokesman said: “We initiated a mass clean-up operation as soon as they were informed of the lorry having sprayed effluent over both pavement and people. There will be on-going investigations involving the police and environment agency. The council’s environmental services department will assist with their inquiries.”

The attack happened on Sunday when the man and woman went to Galleywood Social Club around lunchtime for a drink, it’s thought that a passer-by disturbed a wasp’s nest in a hedge by accident, which brought out angered wasps.

According to local residents the ladies family were distraught and in shock and have asked to be left alone at this sad time while they come to terms with their loss. One lady who passed by just after the attack said: “I didn’t see the attack itself but I heard it was a large swarm. At first they seemed OK but then we suddenly realised she was getting worse and a neighbour called the ambulance. It’s come as a bolt from the blue and we all feel for the family.”

An ambulance spokeswoman said: “It appears that the cardiac arrest was caused by the attack. We took her to Broomfield Hospital by land ambulance with air ambulance medics escorting. The man, whose age is not available, was also taken to Broomfield Hospital by land ambulance, suffering minor wasp stings.”

A spokesman for Essex Police said: “We can confirm that at 1.15pm on Sunday we received a report that a man and woman had been stung by wasps and the woman had collapsed. She was taken to hospital but sadly died. The matter is now in the hands of the Essex Coroner and it is expected that an inquest will be held into the woman’s death.”

Anthony Gregory Fowler, a 61 year old, told an RSPCA inspector that his greyhound, Jake, would ‘run his head off’ when given the Viagra. Fowler, from Stockton-On-Tees, would also give Jake and other dogs cannabis to slow them so they would be beaten in races, Hartlepool Magistrates’ Court was told.

Folwer wanted to slow the dogs down so that when the odds lengthened, because the dogs were losing, Fowler would place bets on the same greyhound then give it Viagra or a testosterone-based drug to help it run faster and win. Fowler was affecting the odds at, the court was informed yesterday.

John Ellwood, prosecuting for the RSPCA, said police interviewed Fowler in September last year after they had received numerous reports that he had been involved with the selling of cannabis. Fowler denied that he was selling cannabis however, informed the police that he was drugging his dogs! The police then informed the RSPCA.

During the interview he admitted in interview that he fed his greyhounds cannabis when he wanted them to lose races. He did so by boiling the cannabis. He explained how, when he wanted the dog to win the race, he injected it with nandrolone, a testosterone derivative.

Fowler was then interviewed by an RSPCA inspector at a later date, but by this time Jake, the victimised dog, was dead. Fowler explained that the dog had injured its shoulder during one of the races and a vet said fixing the shoulder would be expensive.

Vets explained cannabis could cause convulsions and hallucinations in dogs, whereas Viagra could cause inflammation of the blood vessels.

Fowler had initially denied charges, but has recently changed his plea to guilty for to two counts of causing unnecessary suffering to a dog and two counts of administering drugs to a dog knowing it to be poisonous or injurious. Fowler will be sentenced next Tuesday, after a probation report has been prepared.

Along with this case of Viagra, there have been 8 cases of dogs being found with traces of cocaine in their bodies already this year. Will this mistreating of animals ever come to an end?

The snake was described as “unfriendly” and the owner announced that the snake had not been fed in three weeks and in fact, was due a feed.  Diva (the nocturnal snake) is known to eat small mammals and pounce on its prey. The snake however, is not venomous, but the owner has warned that it may bit if it is approached.

The snake vanished from its home in Broom Crescent. Broom Crescent is a small cul-de-sac of 28 houses. The house is located a mere 50 meters from a primary school. Police have warned that if anyone spots her, they should dial 999 immediately.

The snake has been described as 7.5 foot long and is dark and light brown patterned in colour. The boa has cream spots on her back and a red mark at the end of her tail.

Staff manually switched off both of the reactors in the Scotland plant for a whole day as a precaution and there was no danger to the public at any time and power supplies to homes had not been affected by this incident. “At no time was there any danger to the public. There are no radiological aspects associated with this event and there has been no impact to the environment.”

Nuclear power plants work by drawing water from nearby seas (depending on their location) to cool down their reactors, but if the filters which keep out fish and other marine animals are clogged, the station must shut down to maintain a temperature.

“We are working to clear the jellyfish from the waters near the power station. This work, as well as monitoring the area for more jellyfish, is on-going,” a spokesman for EDF Energy quoted. Local fisherman have also been helping to move the jellyfish so that the plants are up and running again.

Nottingham police were called to the home of Yeoman around 2pm on Wednesday. They received a call saying that a man had suffered a suspected heart attack and already had been pronounced dead. The snake has now been captured and the RSPCA have been informed. There is no danger to the public.

Yeoman explained to the BBC how to prevent the species from dying out, he was keeping a variety of cobras in a compound at the back of his house. He explained how the project was started back in 2008due to the destruction of the species natural habitat. His plan was to breed around 100 new snakes by the end of this year.

Apparently then the dog started to terrorise the judges and plaintiffs and then refused to leave the court, which is what caused the theory that the dog was in fact the reincarnation of the unruly lawyer who had insulted the court all those years ago. The lawyer who had angered a judge back then with his behaviour was cursed so that he would come back in another life as a dog. For some that might not be so bad, however in canines are considered impure by traditional Judaism so to come back as one would not be good. Which is why the court saw fit to sentence the poor pooch to death because it came back to haunt the court and order the penalty be carried out by local children.

According to local website Ynet ‘Let the Animals Live’, an animal welfare organisation, had filed a complaint with the police against the head of the court, Rabbi Avraham Dov Levin. However as it turned out the little doggy managed to escape and got away with his apparent crime, whatever that was!
