A university student accused of shagging a sheep in his room has blamed the stress of exams for his ram-banging antics.
The 23-year-old is alleged to have been found having sex with a ewe by a fellow Fresno State University student, who heard bizarre noises coming from a barn on campus.
The amorous animal lover, who was arrested and charged with sexual assault of an animal, told police he was stressed about an upcoming exam and had been drinking.
“It’s just kind of disgusting and revolting and personally makes me angry. I mean, why would you do that?” said student Marisa Burkdoll. “It’s just kind of sick. It’s unnatural and the animals they can’t really, I mean they can’t defend themselves. They can to an extent but they’re innocent, you know what I mean?”
