Guest guest Posted January 3, 2001 Report Share Posted January 3, 2001 From the National Post today..(one less meat eater! or, revenge of the sheep!) Bliss. SHEEP FATTENED FOR SACRIFICE SHOVES OWNER TO HIS DEATH ALEXANDRIA, EGYPT. An Egyptian sheep destined for sacrificial slaughter forstalled it's owner's plans by pushing him to his death from a three-storey building in Alexandria, police said yesterday. They said Waheeb Hamoudah, 56, who worked in the police tax evasion department, had been feeding the sheep he had teethered on the rooftop when it butted him. His neighbors found Mr. Hamoudah lying bleeding and concussed on the ground below, with several broken bones, on Monday. He died soon after reaching hospital. He had been fattening the sheep for the past six weeks and planned to kill it for Eid al-Adha, the Muslim feast of sacrifice, in early March. Many Egyptian city-dwellers keep livestock on rooftops or balconies or in basements, especially in the run-up to Eid al-Adha.
