Scot ‘Deported’ From Kyrgyzstan After Facebook Joke Comparing Sausage Dish To Horse Penis

A Scottish man is being deported from Kyrgyzstan after he compared the country’s national dish to a horse’s penis, according to reports.

Michael McFeat, a mine worker from Abernethy based in Kyrgyzstan, was arrested after he posted the joke on Facebook.

Alongside a picture of his co-workers queuing in the canteen for “chuchuk” horse meat sausage on December 31, 2015, he posted a message comparing the delicacy to horse penis.

The post read: “The Kyrgyz people queuing out of the door for there special delicacy the horses penis!!!”

Mr McFeat later deleted the message and posted an apology on his Facebook page, writing: “I would like to take the opportunity to sincerely apologise for the comment I made on here about the kygyz people and horses penis.

“I truly never meant to offend anyone and I’m truly sorry as it was never my intention.

“I would also like to say the people in the picture had absolutely nothing to do with it. Again I’m very very sorry.”

However, despite the apology, it is believed Mr McFeat was held by police. The BBC reported that he is being deported, but because of a problem with his documentation, not because of his joke.

It was reported that Mr McFeat was arrested at Manas International Airport, near the capital Bishkek, on Sunday.

Under race hate laws in Kyrgyzstan, he could have faced up to five years in prison for his joke.

He worked at the Kumtor gold mine, which is operated by Canadian company Centerra Gold.

Staff offended by his joke went on a temporary strike at the mine, it was reported.
