Sacrificial Sheep Shoves Man to His Death

Updated 10:15 AM ET January 2, 2001

ALEXANDRIA, Egypt (Reuters) - An Egyptian sheep destined for
sacrificial slaughter forestalled its owner's plans by pushing him to his
death from a three-story building, police said Tuesday.

They said Waheeb Hamoudah, 56, who worked in the police tax evasion
department, had been feeding the sheep he had tethered on the rooftop
when it butted him.

Neighbors found Hamoudah lying bleeding and concussed on the ground
below, with several broken bones, Monday. He died soon after reaching
hospital.

Hamoudah 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, balconies or in
basements, especially in the run-up to Eid al-Adha.
