GAZA:
A ‘miracle’ male goat that oozed milk was executed by Palestinian authorities in Gaza Strip following public upheaval about the curing power of its milk.
Authorities allegedly paid $680 compensation to the goat’s owner, Jassir Abu Al Saeed, after carrying out the execution.
An official at the Ministry of Agriculture in Gaza said the goat was slaughtered and its meat was sold to a wealthy Palestinian man, following reports that it was oozing milk and that the milk could cure many diseases.
“We decided to execute the goat after it created upheaval and confusion among residents, who mistakenly believed it is a blessed animal and that its milk can cure diseases,” said Zakaria Al Kafarna, the veterinary services director at the ministry.
