Probe on ‘human-faced’ baby goat will include possibility of violation by human

Authorities are in the midst of an investigation to solve the mystery behind the strange-looking baby goat born in Kota Tinggi.

According to a report by The Star Online‘s Yee Xiang Yun, Johor state Agriculture and Agro-based Industry committee chairman Ismail Moha­med said they would then know if the deformed goat was an ‘offspring produced by a human and an animal’.

“For now we cannot confirm or deny anything as we have never received such a case before,” Ismail was quoted as saying, adding it could take up to a month for the results to be ready. 

Um, okay.

The ‘human-faced’ kid, born in Felda Sungai Mas, (but died soon after, believed to have been trampled on by its own mother), made headlines recently after it was found with a face, nose, short legs and soft body that bore an eerie resemblance to that of a human newborn.

Its carcass was then handed over to the state Veterinary Services Department la­­boratory. 

Ismail told The Star that research would be conducted to know the possible reasons behind its human-like features — and that included the possibility that its mother may have been ‘violated by a human’.
