Ah, yes. This is probably the more likely fate.

I think that his prize is much less celestial. He has acquired his 15 minutes of fame. Perhaps now he can write a book or sell the film rights to his biography and not have to work for the rest of his life.

Objection overruled.

A six-day-old lamb at a veterinary clinic on New Zealand's South Island bleats like any other newborn sheep, but is rather different in other ways.

This lamb has seven legs, local media reported today.

Two of the extra legs hang uselessly behind the lamb's forelegs. The animal has three hind legs, one of them with two hoofs. It walks using its two forelegs and three hind legs, the Ashburton Guardian newspaper said.

The lamb was born last Friday on the farm of Dave and Di Callaghan.

Mr Callaghan said he was surprised to find the creature, born with a twin, walking round in the paddock with its mother and normal twin sibling.

"I have never seen anything like that," he said.

Veterinarian Steve Williams at the Canterbury Vets clinic in the rural town of Methven said he believed an error during embryo formation had resulted in the lamb being born polydactyl - with many legs - a condition that occurs once in several million sheep.

He said the lamb was also hermaphrodite and missing a portion of its bowel so was unable to pass faeces and would have to be destroyed.

"To keep it alive is probably inhumane really," he said.

Awwww

I'm glad they aren't going to let it suffer.

Yeah no suffer, there is already enough of that. On the bright side, leg of lamb will be plenty.



Ok, I'll stop now.

What do ya get when you cross a lamb with an octopus?


See above!

I am not above eating the critter, or many other critters as a matter of fact. No worries there. Just don't like to see them suffer.

Nope, me either.

I just wonder if I should have left out the obvious joke.

Eh, I don't think any of us here are that sensitive about animals commonly used for food. It's not like you wanted it to endure great pain and misery.

True.
