OCALA – Carlos R. Romero said he doesn't “feel comfortable around people” and has “never been a people person.”
A farm hand, Romero said he has always felt an attraction toward animals, especially horses, because, as he describes it, with humans, they've been known to “stab you in the back, give you diseases, lie to you” and are “promiscuous.” He compared them to animals, who, he said, “are usually there for you" and "do not seek other pleasures.” Their feelings, he said, are “100 percent honest.”
His love for animals, mainly horses, was the cause of his arrest on Monday on a warrant for cruelty to animals. Sheriff's deputies say he was caught in a compromising position with a 21-month-old miniature donkey named Doodle.
The donkey, who Romero said he purchased from a man in Lake City and brought to the farm in northwest Marion County a couple of months ago, has been removed by animal control.
