BERLIN Mar 5, 2007 (AP)— Three teenagers may be on the hook for a hefty fine if a court decides that their festive firecrackers outside an eastern German farm scared the libido right out of an ostrich named Gustav.
Rico Gabel, a farmer in Lohsa, northeast of Dresden, is claiming $6,450 in damages for the alleged antics of the three youths, ages 17-18, between Dec. 27 and 29, 2005.
According to his lawsuit, the farmer claims that fireworks set off by the boys made the previously lustful Gustav both apathetic and depressed, and thus unable to perform for a half-a-year with his two female breeding partners.
Before Gustav regained his sex drive in the second half of the year, the farmer estimates he lost out on 14 ostrich offspring worth $460 apiece.
The suit is due to be heard next Monday in a regional court in nearby Bautzen, the court said Monday. The teenagers' names were not released.
i can't stop laughing. it's been 10 minutes now since i first read it.
Rugby players at my old school kidnapped a sheep and dressed it up and shit. The poor sheep was traumatized and wouldn't socialize with the other sheep after he got back to the farm.
"It never really seemed to recover from the trauma," Babineau said. "It did not come to the fence to get grain. It didn't hang out with the other sheep."
