A "distraught animal lover" was arrested after police seized his phone and found a one minute video of a naked man performing a sex act on a chicken.
Mark Powell denied possessing the extreme pornographic footage showing the animal being sexually abused.
The 43-year-old claimed he would often be sent "edgy" videos on Whatsapp from friends - who he said have an "unusual sense of humour" - and "innocently" forward them on.
