The thing that surprised me was the insinuation that it was the result of a human-sheep union. I doubt that claim because if it were true there would be hundreds of these things in New Zealand!
dArticle stated that it was stillborn. If it had survived, I am sure it would have made it on Maury or Jerry Springer!

Or was it killed and burned like the similar goat recently in Zimbabwe?
According to the article, the goat from Zimbabwe was burned. There was no reference in the article to what happened with the body of the lamb.

The article stated that the goat from Zimbabwe was hairless, not the sheep from Turkey.

It is funny how the article states the thing was hairless but you can clearly see fur (covered in blood I suppose) that has an orange tint to it in the photo.

Yes, the story was more focused on the goat than the sheep. I think this is real, the sheep photo that is. It doesn't have to be a mutation, though. It was probably caused by something as insignificant as a virus present during fetal development, or an injury during gestation, that prevented the tissues of the snout to grow correctly.

That seems to be correct. I misread that part. I wonder why though they seemed to focus so much on the goat in the article when it was about the lamb then?
I would like to see some photos of the goat as well. I still believe this to be a hoax. But they do say truth is stranger than fiction. I guess there is a strange possibility it could be real somehow.
