'Donkey rape' sparks tribal massacre in Yemen

Fifteen people were killed or injured in tribal fighting

Fifteen people were killed or injured in tribal fighting in Yemen after a male donkey chased an ass and raped it just near the house of its owner.

Newspapers in Yemen said the owner of the ass got mad after he saw the donkey attacking his animal, prompting him to chase the donkey and hit it.

The attack infuriated the donkey owner, who called his armed tribe men and asked them to take revenge.

“The problem snowballed into an armed fight between Makabis tribe, which owns the donkey, and Bani Abbas which owns the ass…15 people were either killed or injured in the battle,” the Saudi Arabic language daily Aleqtisadiah said, quoting newspapers in Yemen.

A large police force intervened and stopped the fighting at a village in the southwestern province of Abb, newspapers said, adding that police had arrested eight persons involved in the conflict.

    Please, do every us-american reader of this story a favor, and don't call this sort of donkey an 'ass', though it is appropriate. Please call it something like 'mule/ sort/of/donkey' and let the particularity slip. P.S.: I once heard a similar story out of the neighbouring village 'they've got into a fight over tortoisesex. It was a massacre.
