Netizens react to the Michael Hanley Horse video
As the Michael Hanley Horse video went viral online, many stunned netizens reckoned the footage was reminiscent of the Enumclaw case, where a suspect was convicted of trespassing at an Enumclaw farm where a man was fatally injured while having s*x with a horse in 2005.
The controversial Enumclaw horse case involved a series of bestiality incidents where men named Kenneth D. Pinyan and James Michael Tait filmed and distributed beastiality p*nography where the man in the video went by the alias “Mr. Hands.”
Pinyan received fatal internal injuries in one such incident, which triggered an investigation and subsequent convictions. At the time, the case was popularly known as 2 Guys, 1 Horse or the Mr. Hands video.
The recent Michael Hanley Horse video, widely compared to the Enumclaw case, has triggered Mr Hands memes online as netizens were left stunned and traumatized by its disturbing content. A social media user said:
“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 were seemingly disgusted over the Horse video, the footage has amassed considerable viewer interest as the search for the term spiked on social media platforms.
