Yesterday, an Indian farmer was shocked to discover that his goat gave birth yesterday to a child with the “face of a person” which neighbors described as a warning from God.
Shakar Das (46), a farmer, had several children with his goat. Assam, a northeastern Indian state.
Locals were stunned when the second child emerged from its hiding place with a disfigured, swelling face, which looked almost like a human head.
Shakar stated that although the goat had many deformities it was still born healthy. The two-legged, crippled leg and under-developed hindquarters left Shakar with little to no hope of survival.
Locals in India believe that the deformed birth of an animal is a sign of bad fortune or bad luck.
Shakar stated that the neighbours ran to Shakar’s house. Everybody was shocked at its sight.
Neighbour Rakesh K Kumar said: “In many places, it’s considered to be a warning.
“People see the mutations in the births of children as a sign from God.”
