Indianapolis, June 19 - Animal control officers say that what happened to a sheep was cruel and unusual punishment. And it happened in a south side apartment.
A neighbor called police after hearing the sheep scream out in pain.
When officers arrived they found several men inside the apartment and called for animal control officers. Police caught Everardo Espinosa and Gustavo Sandoval after a short foot chase from the apartment. They also arrested Jaime Gonzalaz, Garcia Gustavo, Juan Gonsalez, Alberto Gonzalaz along with two 36-year-old males.
The neighbor who called police did not want to be identified, especially after learning police believe the men sexually abused the sheep. "It sounded like a goat. That's what it sounded like. Then it kept getting louder and louder until they took it in the house and then I heard it in the kitchen."
IPD Sgt. Jerry Bippus says, "We had a vet look at the sheep and it had to be stitched up from the trauma from the male subjects."
