2015-06.bullock with extra limbs (1)

And there’s yet another newcomer! In India, cattle with congenital anomalies such as the extra limbs growing from this bullock’s shoulder are commonly used on long treks for begging, and indeed, this was the case with this dear soul. This bullock is very old, and his owner apparently abandoned him. After we learned from villagers that he had been roaming unattended for 10 days, we filed a complaint of abandonment with the local police and took him to our Home for Retired Bullocks so that he can rest and won’t be at risk of being hit by vehicles or facing other dangers.
