Sheep Gives Birth To Human Faced Lamb

[Mr. DS]

Side note, I think this may be one of my favorite news story quotes of all time...

The governor of the province where the ugly goat was born said that the little goat was the fruit of unnatural relationship between the female goat and a man.

"This incident is very shocking. It is my first time to see such an evil thing. It is really embarrassing," he reportedly said. "The head belongs to a man while the body is that of a goat. This is evident that an adult human being was responsible. Evil powers caused this person to lose self control. We often hear cases of human beings who commit bestiality but this is the first time for such an act to produce a product with human features," he added.

Ah... what the hell!   


I showed my parents this and they think it is a fake.  I'm not too sure about this personally.  I'll have to show this to my biology teacher and see what he thinks.

I think they're trying to pull the wool over our eyes.

[Mr. DS]

Either way Rev, this is baaaaaaaaaaaaaad.

Reminds me of a poem my college English teacher shared with the class, entitled

SHEEP CHILD. 

Bizarre stuff.

[Psycho Circus]

Creepy. I showed this to a few people at work and they were hugely sceptical. The thing is, it was burnt so it can't be studied and if such freakish abnormalities of nature were more commonplace, then no one would question it.  Stories like this make the world interesting.

[SPazzo]

That's just terrible, ewe know.

[Mr. DS]

I'm feeling sheepish...

[Leah]

Sorry, Torgo came first

[Criswell]

Wow that's crazy. i'm sorta sceptec on this but who knows?

[Cthulhu]

I call bulls**t on that.


Hooray for jokes that make no sense!

[Joe the Destroyer]

Didn't we see something else like this recently?

There were stories about a goat giving birth to a kid with a human-appearing face/head back in September.  Supposedly in Zimbabwe.  The quotations that are included in the story in the link actually appear in that story too.  So it looks to me like someone has combined two or re-issued the first story with changes?  Someone online referenced the story having first appeared in pravda...is that a reliable source for such things?  I have no idea, but suspect not.

All that in concert with the odd use of words - a baby sheep is NOT a 'calf' (poor translation?) - should cause one to question IMO.  Never mind the incredibly stupid assertion that humans and other species can actually interbreed.     Wouldn't there be herds of human-faced sheep and goats in parts of the world by now if that were so?
