The reappearance of a horrific horse video on social networking site X, formerly known as Twitter, depicting a man being mounted by the animal, has outraged netizens.
Many netizens were outraged by the video, comparing it to the Enumclaw or Mr Hands cases, in which a man died after being penetrated by a horse in 2005.
People began to speculate about the identity of the man being mounted by the horse as the video became popular online.
Several individuals claimed that the man’s name was Michael Hanley because the film displaying beastiality has two captions: “Michael Hanley left his phone in the pub look what he was doing” and “Always keep a password on your phone,” implying that he had left his phone unattended. The video was then supposedly leaked by the person who found his device.
Soon after, the tape was unofficially dubbed “the Michael Hanley Horse video,” and it became extensively disseminated and searched on social media platforms. As the video spread, many people believed that the man was Michael Hanley from Dublin.
However, the identification of the person has not been established because the man in Dublin has tattoos on his arm while the person in the video does not.
Netizens respond to Michael Hanley’s Horse video
Many surprised netizens thought the Michael Hanley Horse video was similar to the Enumclaw case, in which a suspect was convicted of trespassing at an Enumclaw farm where a man was gravely injured while having s*x with a horse in 2005.
The contentious Enumclaw horse case was a series of bestiality occurrences in which individuals called Kenneth D. Pinyan and James Michael Tait videotaped and transmitted beastiality p*nography with the identity “Mr. Hands.”
In one such occurrence, Pinyan suffered deadly internal injuries, prompting an investigation and consequent convictions. The case was well known at the time as 2 Guys, 1 Horse, or the Mr. Hands video.
The recent Michael Hanley Horse video, which has been extensively connected to the Enumclaw case, has sparked Mr. Hands memes online, as its horrifying content has left netizens surprised and disturbed. According to one social media user: “Just saw someone recreate Mr. Hands.”
Another commented, “That horse video is honestly the worst thing I’ve ever seen in my life.”
While netizens appeared to be repulsed by the horse video, the tape has garnered significant viewer interest as searches for the phrase increased on social media platforms.
According to a recent Scientific American story, while disgust is an aversion feeling, it also efficiently catches and maintains your attention. The explanation appears to explain why people are drawn to the video.
