The birth of sports always get the crowds ..... Barnum knew that and made a fortune
So the still birth of a baby goat with demonic features in in San Luis province, central Argentina got the locals agitated. As in all religious societies there is a lot more superstition than is healthy for any society.
The owner of the dead animal was fairly sanguine .... she admitted to being "deeply surprised" by its appearance, but added that "The rest of the baby is normal, it only has deformations in the head. It is unusual what happened." .... but others reported it to local police, who dispatched an officer to the farm to document the demonic-looking birth.
Of course these farm sports are not rare, and indeed may be increasing in frequency, as more and more animals are husbanded to feed the worlds growing population.
For instance, earlier this year, there was also reported the birth of a cow with ‘human features’ in an animal shelter in Muzaffarnagar, Uttar Pradesh, northern India. As you might expect hundreds of locals from nearby villages gathered to seek its blessing, believing it to be an avatar of Hindu God Lord Vishnu.
A local businessman, said: "God has taken birth from the body of a local cow. We came here to seek his blessings. Religiously, it is an avatar of Vishnu. We believe it’s a similar character mentioned in Bhagavata Puran, a Hindu religious text."
Locals plan to build a temple to house the carcass which has been sealed in a glass covered coffin since it died. Of course this isn't too different from to shrines to statues that cry blood, or shrines to three very little girls, who said they saw the sun reverse in the sky and that the Virgin Mary spoke to them.
Some things are shared by humanity worldwide, and sadly belief in the supernatural is one of them. .....
