When Busti Ngurah Alit was caught having sex with a cow, he did the only thing he could do in such an uncomfortable situation -- claim the cow totally asked for it!
The 18-year-old Indonesian man was caught standing naked while holding the back end of the cow. He claimed he thought that from behind it was the form of a beautiful woman who had seduced him. Alit's elders then made him marry the cow in a cleansing ritual, during which he understandably fainted.
Finally, the cow was drowned in a river to rid the town of any bad luck brought on by the man/cow coupling. Hardly seems fair to the hapless cow.

Wasn't it Zeus who sometimes appeared in the form of a bull as an act of seduction towards human women? There does seem to be some precedence here...
