Sexy cow blinds young eyes

DENPASAR, Bali (JP): A 12-year-old boy from Buleleng regency has been the object of public wrath after being caught having sex with his cow that he "mistook for a nude, pretty girl", last month.

The teenager was caught by a neighbor named Pan Karya passionately engaged with his cow in Tejakula village on Sept. 28, neighbors said.

The boy told the respected village leaders that he failed to resist the temptation. He said he thought he was having sex with a beautiful girl smiling before his eyes.

The boy's act compelled village religious leaders to initiate a traditional ritual for several days earlier this week. They pleaded to the Gods not to punish the village because of the boy's misdeed.

Under local religious beliefs, having sex with an animal is deemed spiritually dirty and one has to be cleansed through an elaborate ritual.

The teenager and the cow were taken to the sea. The animal was dumped into the high seas and the boy was soaked for a while during which participants prayed for divine mercy.

"I felt I was acting on an irresistibly strong urge," he shyly recalled the sinfully intimate moments with his cow. (28/pan)
