ONE in 12 sheep are gay, according to experts in a bombshell new TV documentary.
Droves of animals including lions, dogs and monkeys have evolved and are now engaging in homosexual activity, with eight per cent of mutton attracted to the same sex.

However, the situation has caused headaches for farmers — who have been forced to send gay livestock that refuse to breed to the slaughterhouse.
Dewi Jones, CEO of sheeping breeding facility Innovis, bemoaned: “You see ram-on-ram behaviour going on.
“Commercially it’s a big issue for us as a breeding company or as a ram breeder because we need our rams to cover lots of ewes.
“They’ll unfortunately have to go into the food chain.”

American Professor Charles Roselli, who studies sheep brains at Oregon Health and Science University, claims sheep become gay as early as when they’re in the womb.
He added: “Testosterone causes masculinisation of the brain, male-oriented rams are not being exposed to as high a level of testosterone pre-natally than female-oriented rams.
“Our best estimate right now is that eight per cent of a flock of sheep can be male-oriented.”
In the documentary , called My Gay Dog And Other Animals, a ram is shown being put in a pen with 30 ewes that are in season in the hopes it will mate with one of them — but has no interest in the females and instead towards the rams that are in a separate pen.

The one-off, which airs on 6 June at 9pm, also reveals that many Bonobo monkeys enjoy gay sexual pleasure, with the females calming conflict through lesbian activity such as nipple tweaking and genital-to-genital rubbing.
Similarly, dogs and lions have also developed same-sex relationships.
Professor Volker Sommer, an Evolutionary Anthropologist at University College London, said: “In most cases animals will have sex with members of their own sex and with members of the opposite sex. It’s a wonderful world.”
Tortoises have also developed same-sex relationships[/caption]
