Poor Little Lamb

In older, less enlightened times, some people believed in the Vegetable Lamb. This creature grew from the ground like a plant but ate other plants like a lamb, and because it could not move, it normally died of starvation once it had eaten the plants within reach. Thanks to genetic engineering this myth is now reality; and growing Vegetable Lambs in pots which can be moved from place to place stops them dying of starvation. Here a city visitor shares photos of a lamb on Facebook while a local shepherdess looks on.
