Nigerians Outraged By "Sheep/Human Hybrid"
Deformed lambs are sometimes born with human-like faces
A truly horrifying lamb was born to a sheep in Nigeria recently, and it has locals in an uproar. The lamb was delivered at a veterinary clinic in Sokoto, a city in northeast Nigera with a population of about 47,000, on January 22nd. The lamb's unusual appearance has led many spectators and religious leaders to believe it is a sheep/human hybrid. So many people thronged to the veterinary clinic to see the "monster" that the Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) had to be deployed to manage and disperse the crowds.
Belief in witchcraft is alive and well in Nigeria, and many Nigerians have made the seemingly logical conclusion that this deformed lamb is the result of the sheep's owner having had sexual relations with his sheep. Religious leaders have called for the man to be put on trial, and some are even calling for his execution. I guess you don't want your sheep to give birth to a lamb with birth defects in Nigeria.
