Fifteen teenagers in a rural Moroccan town have been treated for rabies after they reportedly gang-raped an infected local donkey,
Morocco World News reported citing the Moroccan daily
Al Akhbar newspaper.
The incident happened in Sidi Al Kamel area of Morocco forcing the teenagers to spend a week in hospital being treated after the animal transmitted the disease to them. The sad incident has left the families of the affected teenagers 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.
The infected boys stayed at the Mechraa Belksiri Hospital for one week to receive rabies vaccination. Local authorities are now trying to find anyone else who has “approached” or “admired” the animal closely to limit further spread of disease.
The occurrence quickly became the subject of mockery and ridicule among the population of the small town. However, it has also become a subject of fear and shame for parents who, in the utmost secrecy, had their children vaccinated in case they had touched the animal.
The local authorities ordered the owner of the animal to slaughter it to avoid further risk of spreading the disease. Earlier this month a man was accused of having a sex with a horse in Florida. It was claimed in the media that Darius Galloway of Okaloosa Avenue was caught on camera in the act.
