Woman Died From Sex With Dog, Sean McDonnell Arrested In Limerick, Ireland


First Posted: 07/08/2011 6:40 pm EDT Updated: 02/15/2013 5:57 pm EST

A man has been charged with breaking Ireland's bestiality laws for forcing his dog to have sex with a woman who died from an allergic reaction brought on by the perverse act.

Sean McDonnell, the 57-year-old charged in the case, apparently ordered his German Shepherd to have sex with a 43-year-old mother of four that he met in an online fetish chatroom, according to the Journal.

They met to perform the kinky act with the canine, but the woman died hours later from an attack similar to a reaction unleashed by a peanut allergy, according to the Irish Daily Star.

Although the woman perished on October 7, 2008, McDonnell was just charged in Limerick. It's an unprecedented case on the Emerald Isle where it's believed that no one's been prosecuted under the country's 1861 buggery laws, the Journal reported.

A conviction could land McDonnell in prison for life.

The Gardai, the Irish police, determined that the sex was consensual, according to an article originally published in the Irish Daily Star.

I swear nothing shocks me. I remember reading about a man raping a horse. Can someone explain to me how can a human have sex with an animal? I mean who gets on top of who? How long does it last? Among other head scratching questions.

Wait a minute!  How could the sex be consensual if the man had to order the dog to perform?

Everybody keeps saying this is sick but how can we know until we see how attractive the dog is?

Lol, I'm sorry but that was funny!!! All of a sudden I jab vision of the dog wear his best coat and standing in front of the mirror grooming his hair for his big date. Hahaha...

I agree with prior post that you don't have to force a dog to have sex (and probably couldn't FORCE it anyway, as an erection would be required), but I REALLY wonder about this woman's poor children! Talk about an undignified death! If they haven't already learned of the circumstances of her death, they surely will. How'd you like to live with THAT as a playground taunt? They'll be in therapy for the rest of their lives.

The kids can always move to America and get new IDs.

he should be charged & prosecuted for rape & for torture & cruelty of an animal
09:36 PM on 07/16/2011
Haha... I'm not so sure the dog would agree to being tortured and cruel, I'm willing to bet he had a grin from floppy ear to floppy ear while he played poked the HUNNY, Haha. I just hope the law was humane enough to the cost of & testing the dog for STDs that he could have aquired frm his new date

Since when do you have to force dog to screw something ... anything ?

Is he being charged with murder ?

Seems like if it was consensual and I can't imagine they thought that would happen or they wouldn't have done it .... life in prison ? Maybe minor animal abuse [have to ask the dog if he consented].

I'm sure the kids won't get teased ...

I'm trying to understand this....The woman died from an allergic reaction brought on by the perverse act? A peanut like allergy, meaning she had an Anaphylactic Reaction.

Anaphylaxis: (noun) pathology: Exaggerated allergic reaction to a foreign protein resulting from PREVIOUS exposure to it.

So had she tried this once before?

Gives a whole new meaning to the term I'll have a "salty dog."

Both intellectually factual and comedically clever.  That's a rarity on these pages.  Good work!

Let's try this again...

There once was a woman from Limerick,
whose net friend possessed a limber pri**.
His canine request peeked her attention,
with sexual acts we can't mention
And she mysteriously ventured up sh** crick.
