Kannur: A cow belonging to C P Hussain in Kuttiyatoor village has grabbed the headlines for a strange reason! It has developed an uncanny preference to non-vegetarian food including raw and fried fish apart from chicken preparations. However, it goes without saying that this strange inclination of the animal is burning a hole in the pockets of its owner.

The cow has become a crowd puller overnight and many people from nearby villages make a bee line to see this seven year old wonder cow with packets of fish and meat in tow.

The cow reportedly developed a preference for non-vegetarian diet after its owner started feeding grass mixed with fish a few years ago. The interesting thing is that the other two cows of Hussain remain strictly vegetarian even today. Vets opine that such behavior is occasionally seen in animals to even off the natural deficiency in mineral and proteins. There have been cases where animals resort to eat small pebbles, paper, soil or even glass pieces.
