A family in Miti Mingi Village in Nakuru County Kenya, is reeling in shock after its cow developed a liking for meat about a week ago.
Mr Charles Mamboleo who is the owner on Wednesday said he woke up to find the cow feeding on one of his sheep that it had gored to death.
The following day, it fed on another sheep, having given fresh fodder and water in its feeding trough a wide berth.
“After the first incident, we thought the cow was starving, so we increased the supply of fodder and water, but it still continued chasing after sheep,” said Mr Mamboleo.
He expressed fears that his animal could have been bewitched since it had not calved since it was bought.
The area agricultural officer, Albert Kabugi dismissed bewitchment claims, saying there was a possibility the cow lacked some nutrients and minerals found in green grass. Green grass has been scarce in the county due to drought. ( Daily Nation)
