This Swiss farmer had bestiality sex with his Alpine farm animals for years including having calves lick his penis and masturbating the farm dog.

The farmer named in local media as Andreas F., 30, from Thurgau, in the north-eastern canton of Switzerland, admitted that he had been having sex with farm animals including sheep, cows, calves, pigs and even the farm dog for years.

The scandal was only uncovered when he was left seriously injured after having sex with a bull.

The young farmer told local media: “I admitted to my actions and am now paying the price for my actions.”

The man was convicted for multiple charges of animal cruelty and violations of the Swiss pharmaceutical laws.

According to reports, the man had been having regular sex mostly with female animals at the farm since 2011. To stop the animals running away from him, he would tie them up before having sex with them.

The man admitted he later developed fetishes and started experimenting with male animals on the farm and that was his downfall.

After experimenting with a male sheep, he moved onto a 300-kilogramme (661-lb) bull. However, after having sex with the bull, he was left with severe internal abdominal injuries and needed emergency treatment at a hospital. It is currently unclear how these injuries to his intestines arose.

At the hospital, he admitted how he got his injuries and police were called.

Andreas F. said: “The police told me the case would be kept in confidence, but now the whole of Switzerland knows about it. I feel like a serious criminal.”

The owner of the bull, a 32-year-old farmer, said: “He told me he had had an accident with the bull Muni, that he attacked him leaving him injured. He had been doing some work at our farm now and again. He had to go to hospital with intestinal trouble. I had no idea he was doing such sick things with the animals. If I had known this I would never have let him work here.”

He told the court in Weinfelden, a municipality in the canton of Thurgau in Switzerland: “My urges were stronger than me.”

According to local media NZZ Folio, he also reportedly said that he felt guilty as sex before marriage was a sin regardless of whether it was with humans or animals.

He claimed in court that most animals were willing to take part in sex with him.

He said: “The ram always joined in without any hesitation.”

The man was given a conditional fine by the court and ordered to pay 4,500 CHF (3,500 GBP). He was also ordered to undertake three years of psychotherapy by the court.
