Eyewitnesses reportedly said the photographs taken of the dead calf
after its birth on Sunday did not do it justice, as the animal’s eyes,
mouth, the skin on its back and neck, as well as the genital areas had
seemed human-like.
While the agriculture department said the still-born calf’s features were most likely due to its premature birth, that hasn’t stopped rumours circulating that bestiality may have been the cause.
Bestiality Fears
A number of cases involving people allegedly having sexual intercourse with animals were reported around the country over the last few years.
One such case involved three dogs taken into care at an undisclosed SPCA after they were removed from a property where the animals allegedly suffered sexual abuse.
The National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (NSPCA) laid charges of bestiality and possession of drugs against the accused in 2012 after veterinary examinations confirmed penetration had taken place.
In a separate case, Christopher Dennis Maile, 45, was ordered to pay a fine of R3 000 or serve six months in prison, after he was found guilty of animal abuse in the Vereeniging Magistrate’s Court in May.
The NSPCA had laid charges of animal cruelty against Maile in 2011, after his female Boerboel-cross dog was found with severe vaginal prolapse the size of a soccer ball, according to the SA Press Association.
