Drunken Flesh-Eating Goats
We have no idea why the writer of this story thinks this news is cute. A goat in the city of Bargarh in India is the home of Mantu, a flesh-gobbling, theatrically-inclined goat with a drinking problem.
Bargarh (Orissa), Aug 21: If you think goats are vegetarian, you haven't yet met Mantu - a male goat here that eats meat and drinks liquor.
The two-and-a-half-year-old goat lives at the Sana Bada Dhaba, a roadside eatery here, 350 km from the state capital Bhubaneswar.
"The animal has been living in the dhaba since its birth and slowly developed the habit of eating non-vegetarian food," dhaba owner Sana Naik, who named the goat, told IANS.
Mantu does not like grass - the staple diet of other goats. "The goat eats the cooked meat of other goats that we serve to customers," he said. "Because of its peculiar habits, we are not killing it."
The goat also drinks liquor. It obeys commands like monkeys.
"If you ask it to perform a death scene, it will lie on the ground as if dead. You ask it to show a fight scene, it will demonstrate like a warrior," he said.
The goat amuses customers and they share their food with it.
They won't be amused when Mantu goes bad, as goats are wont to do. Believe it or not, the story gets worse. Mantu's enabler is looking to find Mantu a wife. Soon there will be herds of drunken, ravenous, flesh-eating goats stalking the alleyways of Bargarh, looking for someone to invite for dinner.
This could make a great horror movie.
