Turkey: Where the Men Are Men and the Sheep are Scared

Not New Zealand?  I know.  It’s a shocker.

grody to the max.

So, here’s some news from Izmir, Turkey that’s got my head all grossed out in the mind-area.   A veterinarian birthed a lamb that has the face of a human but the ears of a sheep. Gnarly, right?  Quite right:

Erhan Elibol, a vet, performed a caesarean on the animal to take the lamb out, but was horrified to see that the features of the lamb’s snout bore a striking resemblance to a human face.

“I’ve seen mutations with cows and sheep before. I’ve seen a one-eyed calf, a two-headed calf, a five-legged calf. But when I saw this youngster I could not believe my eyes. His mother could not deliver him so I had to help the animal,” the 29-year-old veterinary said.

The lamb’s head had human features on – the eyes, the nose and the mouth – only the ears were those of a sheep.

Vets said that the rare mutation most likely occurred as a result of improper mutation since the fodder for the lamb’s mother was abundant with vitamin A.

Vitamin A?  Hardly.  More like Vitamin C(men.)

Looks like Turkey is trying to one-up New Zealand.
