In the French municipality of Pennes-Mirabeau, just outside Marseille, local farmers were discovering some of their sheep and goats showing signs of sexual abuse. The poor animals were also bound by their feet. Some of the farmers set up surveillance cameras near their flocks, and sure enough, the suspect was caught on camera. Police have now arrested a 19-year-old suspect, who is from Afghanistan.

A young man, age 19, was arrested on late Thursday night-early Friday morning (April 9-10) by Bac after a series of sexual attacks against goats and sheep in Pennes-Mirabeau.
The case had been worrying owners of sheep and goats in the town of Pennes-Mirabeau since the start of 2026. On several occasions over the months of February and March, in particular, they had found some of their goats and sheep in a pitiful state.
These animals showed signs of sexual abuse. Some were found with bloody vulvas (and) had their paws tied, clearly ruling out the possibility of an unscrupulous billy goat or ram.
Captured by hunting cameras
After several similar episodes, the owners installed camera traps on their land in the hope of clearing up the mystery before discovering to their horror that the cause of this abuse was human. The silhouette of a young man appeared in the images captured by the hunting cameras.
With the aid of these documents, a Bac team was able to catch a suspect matching the description on Thursday night-Friday morning, April 10, 2026. Arrested and placed into custody, this young man, 19, who is reportedly of Afghan nationality, will be prosecuted for acts of cruelty toward an animal, domesticated, tamed, or held in captivity.

As if this kind of thing doesn't happen all the time here in the United States (probably moreso in Florida) by homegrown Americans. I recall a horse being victimized a couple of times by some guy there.
I would google it and share other examples, but I reckon the combination of keywords in my search history would put me on some sort of a list (and really skew my algorithm in ways that I don't want!)
Have you tried using the word, "Afghan" in your searches?
Only when I'm looking for rugs and restaurants.
But note that I said that I don't (and won't) search for that kind of a thing. The story with the horse was from a while ago, and I don't remember where I heard about it. I sure as hell wasn't looking for it.
I don't know about the food. I tried an Afghan takeout once in Irvine, and I wasn't impressed. Their rugs are great.
As for looking for this kind of story, either was I, but it is in the French press as a crime story. There are so many incidents in Europe of Afghan asylum-seekers and migrants committing crimes, it's hard to keep up with. I'm talking serious crimes, murders, rapes, attacks on the street against random victims. I don't wish to attack all Afghans, but it's a serious issue in Europe, as it is with Moroccans, Chechens, Syrians, the list goes on and on.
When you allow millions of mostly unaccompanied single men in their late teens or early 20s, whom you know nothing about, into your countries, the result was so predictable. This will be an everlasting legacy of Angela Merkel and other European leaders for allowing this to happen. And people are dying because of it-every day.
And that's just in Europe. Thanks to Joe Biden and some of his predecessors, we have a similar problem here.
