"MUFFIN THE MULE" The Sunday Sport, December 15th, 1991
A sex starved wife was granted a divorce because her hubby preferred love with his mule. Huriye Karacak, 42, suspected that husband Husamettin, 55, was being unfaithful because he stayed out night after night. But then she found him having sex with the family's mule at their farm in Sivas, Turkey. Judge Selemi Ayyildiz tried to reconcile the couple but finaly agreed a divorce when Hussamettin refused to sell the animal and said "it's beautiful and does not nag."
"NO EXCUSE FOR DOLPHIN SEX ACT" The Times, December 13th, 1991
An Animal rights campaigner accused of outraging public decency by committing an obscene act with a dolphin might have done so to persuade the animal to prefer him to other swimmers, a court was told yesterday.
David Wood for the prosecution, told Newcastle upon Tyne crown court, that Alan Cooper, aged 38, might have performed the act on Freddie, a 12ft. bottle-nose dolphin, because there was a great deal of competition to swim with the dolphin.
When Mr. Cooper saw a boatload of people approaching, Including Peter Bloom, curator of a dolphinarium, who he particularly disliked, "it may have been tempting to do something which he knew the dolphin would like," Mr. Wood Said. However, the reason for Mr. Cooper's action was irrelevant and he had outraged the boat passengers by going way beyond decent behaviour.
Mr. Cooper, of Gorton, Manchester, denies outraging public decency by masturbating the dolphin off Amble, Northumberland.
Tony Jennings, for Mr. Cooper, said that Mr. Bloom, who prompted the complaints, was a sworn enemy of his client. He said Mr. Bloom had the audacity to condemn Mr. Cooper for the alleged sexual act, yet he had trained dolphins to jump out of the water and remove a bikini top from a woman swimmer for a film sequence.
