Superstitious villagers live in fear after sheep gave birth to 'half-human, half-beast sent by the devil'
Superstitious villagers have been living in fear since a sheep gave birth to this creature , that was said by elders to be half-human half-beast and ?sent by the devil?.
Many of the 4,000 inhabitants and farmers of Lady Frere in Eastern Province, South Africa, were convinced that bestiality and witchcraft had led to the birth of the creature.
The panic was so severe that the Eastern Cape Department of Rural Development sent out experts to carry out tests after pictures of it spread like wildfire through the community.
?It is worth noting that a sheep has 28 pairs of chromosomes while humans have 23 pairs which is important in dispelling the myth that a union of a sheep ovum and a human sperm can lead to a development of a viable life form.
The department?s veterinary officials is conducting a post-mortem and its results will be communicated to the public who are fearful in the remote area that witchcraft is at play.
