Fifteen teenages have contracted rabies after they all had sex with an infected donkey in Morocco. More than 15 of them actually took part in the act but some families of the other boys secretly took their children for treatment and only 15 of them were brought to the local hospital. These youths who are from Sidi Al Kamel spent 1 week at Mechraa Belksiri Hospital receiving treatments after they contracted the disease from the animal.
The police ordered the donkey to be killed to avoid further risk of spreading the disease.
Local authorities are trying to find anyone else who has “approached” or “admired” the animal closely to limit further spread of the disease.
