Is the human race an animal?

This is something I always wanted to discuss with the Biologist Mrs. Lamour but never got around to. Sadly, she is no longer with us. A relative of mine saw a photograph of some type of Farm animal ( juvenile) with humanoid features that seemed to resemble a very young Horse of maybe sheep or goat type of animal. This allegedly happened as the result of some disturbed farm hand ( not the origin of Funny Farm) this did happen in the US. After being photographed to prove it was real, the animals- there was a litter of them, were killed and the remains cremated.So, there is no physical evidence, like condemned beef. The fact this happened on a farm makes on think it might have been animals used for food and why the government men took such drastic action > From a description of the photograph the creature was about the size of a very small pony or immature horse or a large dog. Probably did not weight more than l00 lbs. Even if such a creature was viable, it mercifully could not reproduce- Nature has safety valves of the non-return type regarding inter-specific cross breeds and freaks. It is a weird and strangely fascinating concept anyhow. It could and evidentally did, happen, and was suppressed and hushed up. Who would dare eat a half-human hamburger?
