The Force is Strong With This One
I found this article in the March 10, 2007 edition of the Vancouver Sun (page A14).
I didn't really know what forum category this would apply to so decided to put it here. I couldn't find an online copy of it so I will type the short article out here.
I grew up in farming and ranching country and my parents were born and raised on farms/ranches.
I have never heard of anything like this. It is very bizarre.
CALCUTTA, India - When his chickens started disappearing a few weeks ago, a farmer in eastern India figured dogs of jackals were to blame - until he discovered his calf making a meal of his poultry.
The farmer and his one-year-old calf have since become local celebrities, with the carnivorous cow appearing on television in India's Bengal state and hundreds of people flocking to see them in Chandipur, a village 233 kilometres southwest of Calcutta, the state capital.
The farmer rose early to catch the culprit "and to his disbelief found that it was his calf which came out from the cow shed and was eating the chickens alive," said Debjyoti Chatterjee, a local resident who filmed the calf eating a chicken.
The local verterinarian was at a loss for an explanation.
"I've never read or heard about cows turning carvivorous," said Mihir Tripathy. "They eat grass and other vegetarian food but not fish or other non-vegetarian stuff."
