Read the article carefully.
Breeder Mohammad Hasan Narejo says he often has to fold Simba's ears over his back to stop the kid goat from standing on them.
Narejo says: “Within 10 to 12 days of his birth he was already appearing in all the national and international media – and won a beauty contest. Within 30 days he became so popular that even a famous personality might take 25 to 30 years to achieve this level of fame.”
He is wary of the attention Simba has attracted – including from rival breeders – and says he prays to try to fend off any ill will.
His plan is to raise Simba as a stud to promote the image of Pakistan as a top goat-breedingnation.
