Viagra is used to enhance the sex drive in humans. A recent incident that happened in Ireland proved that it can be used to do the same in animals too.
Drug manufacturer Pfizer had accidentally spilled tonnes of Viagra in the Ringaskiddy harbor of Ireland. Hundreds of sheep drank water from the harbor and what happened next has thrown the world into a frenzy!
Shepherds found that all those sheep who drank the viagra mixed water from the harbor behaved strangely and went into a crazy sex drive for an entire week, reports TOI.
Michael Murphy, a shepherd, described the situation stating that his animals “behaved like sex maniacs”, reports News 18. The viagra contaminated water has affected over 80,000 sheep and a few hundred heads of cattle.
On the other hand, Pfizer has admitted that last week they had accidentally spilled around 755 tonnes of unfiltered Viagra in the waters of Ringaskiddy Harbour.
The water has been filtered now states a report. “The system was repaired on Sunday and the problem now seems to be resorbing, but it could take weeks before all infected animals’ behavior comes back to normal,” said the report.
All we can do is, be thankful that the water from the harbor was not meant for human consumption. You know exactly why!
