A supermarket worker has been arrested and banned from keeping animals for life after admitting to having intercourse with chickens and a dog.
Shane Waters’ crimes were exposed after a farmer discovered a number of the birds at his Accrington farm in England were injured and dead.
On September 19 2020, the farmer at Lower Holker Farm, Accrington, opened his chicken shed to discover a number of dead and injured birds.

Fearing “something sexual” had happened to them, he checked CCTV and called in the RSPCA (Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals).
The CCTV footage showed Waters prowling around the man’s farm before leaving the barn at 11.40pm.
He was arrested on September 23 and told officers: “I need help. I know what I have done. I just get these urges.”
Waters, 40, also admitted having sex with his own pet dog and has now been jailed for 30 months, according to Lancashire Live.
Burnley Crown Court heard Waters, a supermarket stock checker, has previous convictions for abusing horses in 1997 and 2016.
Judge Sara Dodd said the case was “as unusual as it is disturbing” as she handed down his sentence.

Barbara Webster, prosecuting, said: “He did not like performing the act and said sorry to the chickens after.”
The court heard a total of 15 chickens died as a result of Waters’ abuse.
He also admitted having intercourse with his pet dog over a four month period, but said the dog “did not like it and growled and bit him.”
