“The goat had already given birth to a kid. “It was her second delivery. It has stunned me and the villagers as well.”
The 46-year-old said the kid was born alive but later died.
In India, the birth of a deformed animal is considered a bad omen or bad luck, locals said.
Neighbour Rakesh Kumar added: “In many areas, it’s considered as the warning. “The people see the mutant births as the sign from God.”
