Charter of Wrongs

The best-known goat in Sudan has died months after being "married" to a man in the South Sudan capital, Juba, the BBC has learned.

Local elders ordered a man found having sex with the goat, called Rose, to pay a dowry and "marry" her last February. After the hearing, Mr Tombe was ordered to pay a dowry of 15,000 Sudanese dinars.
Call me a close-minded conservative, but I remain a firm supporter of same-species marriage.
