The problem was discovered when a veterinarian was called to the scene of some rather odd sexual incidents on a farm north of Elkins, West Virginia Wednesday. The vet had no choice but to immediately put down a sheep after it had allegedly raped a stallion, molested a stray cat and tried to titty-lick a female health inspector, he then alerted the FDA.

Further investigations of the sheep's sleeping quarters revealed sticky

Accused "Horny Sheep"

"Barnyard Sexxx" magazines and a gnawed peeping hole over-looking the pig sty. Along with sightings of the sheep trying to gangbang a shepherd's dog the FDA decided put several farms under isolation and raise a national alert.

West Virginia has a long tradition of breeding sexually potent farm animals and this disease is thought to have evolved as result of too much incestuous inbreeding. Animal inbreeding that is. It spreads through hormones found in the meat of contaminated carriers and just like Mad Cow it can infect humans.

"The symptoms of the illness are horrific," said one medical expert from the FDA. "In fact, they are even worse than the effects of the human form of Mad Cow, Creutzfeldt-Jakobs disease. Billy-Bob Cooter Jr. syndrome causes victims to shake violently, be drawn to women with bad teeth and an urge to attend Toby Keith concerts. It's mind-numbingly terrifying."

While the connection between Horny Sheep's disease and Billy-Bob Cooter Jr. syndrome is still being debated in the scientific and online bestiality communities, West Virginian farmers seeing their sales drop like democratic candidate poll numbers after use of the "F-word" are desperately trying to defend themselves and their flocks.

Farmer Bubba Thug Farnsworth said, "Me an' mah wife run a clean trailer here just like our dear old mother taught us, God rest her soul. Ya'll just assume them Virginian hicks are filthy scum. Ya'll should gawddamn know better. Ahm just upset to find out it was the sheep that stole mah magazines."

Fearing for the reputation of her kind the world famous cloned sheep "Dolly" decided to speak out saying that "this is what you get when you fiddle with nature" and added that she was not surprised since the government "lets a freak show like West Virginia stay on the map." She also commented on the photographer's breasts and offered to lap dance for a bucket of minced cow brains.

In after market news it has been reported that while many countries immediately banned US sheep imports, New Zealand has decided to increase imports 500%.
