Goat Bestiality observed with night-vision goggles

Comment: You have probably heard this already, but I could not find it on
your site. I have heard the exact same story from 3 different national
gaurd servicemen who served in Iraq. They all belong to the same local
national gaurd unit, but served non-overlapping tours. I am not sure if
they know each other or not. The story goes that while on duty at night in
Iraq, one of the other soldiers using night vision goggles saw an Iraqi
man having sex with a goat and then all the other soldiers came and saw
with thier own night vision goggles. This strikes me as implausible that
three different soldiers in three different years, 2003, 2006, and 2007,
all saw something so bizarre.

227 views and no reply. I wonder if they're all thinking the same thing I am.

What's unusual here? Sex with goats is well documented. Is it that it was viewed by the miltary that is unique?

It's the "perfect storm" effect: observed by someone, with night-vision equipment, and a video camera...and ethics low enough to make it available to the whole darned world.

That goat now has a higher fame rating than a lot of people! Next stop: American Idol!

I actually seen a video associated with this before. Fake or not, I don't know - but it was exactly what they said it was.

I didn't see it with a goat. I did see, first hand, in July of 2006 several males in their late teens to late 20's (you can't tell much through night vision when you're a ways away) having sex with a donkey.

Big difference between something being well documented and something being a common occurence. Sounds to me like he's wondering if indeed it's so common over there that one can pretty much expect to come across it frequently.

I can't believe any human being would actually have sex with any kind of animal. If bestiality was the norm in a specific society or culture, then perhaps someone would. However, I don't know of any civilization, society or culture modern or ancient that condoned it.

SICK! SICK! SICK! That's all I have to say about human-animal sex.

What!? Group bestiality? Was the one holding the reins selling tickets?

I wouldn't say it's common, but it's not uncommon in Iraq. Though I've never actually seen it first-hand, I've seen footage of it on two seperate occasions--FLIR footage of two guys taking turns with a donkey (which has been set to music by some scamp and put out all over the internet), and UAV footage (which I watched as it was happening) of a guy shagging what looked like a goat.

I wasn't particularly shocked; in a sex-starved culture, one would kind of expect people to seek alternate outlets.

I'm not convinced being 'sex-starved' has much to do with approaching animals, if that were the case wouldn't sci-fi conventions all have paddock areas?

I jest, but it's like the Mexican guy who had a wife and 6 kids - she said their sex life was vigorous, but they found him one day dead under a rock-fall with a chicken still on his knob. He just fancied a bit of KFC.

I've seen a guy, trousers round ankles, on a stool behind a mare, in a field, and I was on a bus full of people. That's South Oxfordshire for ya!

Apparently when the polis arrived ( we drew straws as to who got to call them!) he'd been kicked into the next week by the disgruntled horse - I have to say, if I was going to try and make it with a 17 hand mare i'd certainly buy it dinner first

It's a wonder she was even aware of him - maybe he crushed her tail.

It seems like these particular stories concerning Iraq are simply to try to perpetuate hatred and bigotry in Americans towards Iraqis. Fortunately, I haven't seen this first-hand (never gone looking either) but I think it's fair to say that it happens in all countries to some extent. I do know, if you want to shell out a few pesos, you can see a donkey or horse show pretty easily in Tiajuana. I think probably anyone who's grown up around a farming community has probably heard stories about a lonely farmer and his goat/sheep/cow

I still say no human being would do this. A lot of people say that they have seen someone do something that appeared to be sex with a dumb animal, but they most likely misinterpreted what they saw or they didn't really have a good view. Besides no one can really be sex-starved, unless they have been brought up in a culture where they have been taught that everyone needs sex just like they need food and water. Futhermore, no one can be so "sex-starved" that they would "do it" with a mindless non-human.

BA Rainey--google "Beastiality" before you make the claim that "no human would do this".

Yes, yes, they would and do. And some even make money off of it. And yes, someone CAN be sex-starved, someone can be sex starved enough to do this and no, it has nothing to do with how they are brought up and no, no one misinterpreted what they saw. Again, google is your friend. I dare you.

There was no misinterpreting what I saw.

Never say "never"--no matter how dumb or repulsive something is, someone out there can, will, and likely has done it.
