"It was discovered that two calves were found in the sacrificial cow at the At-Taubah Mosque, one male, one female," said the committee, quoted by brilio.net from the @memomedsos_official account on Wednesday (19/6).
After slaughtering the cow, the animal is skinned and cut into small pieces so they can be distributed. However, suddenly a committee member named Hilmi was shocked. He saw two cow fetuses inside the adult cow.
The committee firmly stated that it had confirmed that the cow whose stomach was cut open was a bull. This certainty is also obtained from the moment before cutting. Where the sex of the five animals slaughtered at the mosque was checked.

Ustadz Zulkifli, the imam of the At-Taubah Mosque and also in charge of slaughtering the animal, said that before slaughtering it, he knew the cow was male. He admitted that he was surprised and couldn't believe what happened.
"Because I was the one who slaughtered it and other committees can also confirm that. The five cows we sacrificed were all bulls," said Zulkifli.
According to Zulkifli, he carries out sacrifices every year in the area with other residents. There has never been anything strange like what happened at the current sacrificial moment. The video even states that this is a form of God's power.
However, the news of the discovery of two fetuses in the stomach of this bull immediately drew pros and cons from netizens. Many say that animals that can become pregnant are definitely female cows. For them, things like this should not be linked to supernatural narratives.

"Even elementary school children know that the one who can give birth is a female. Hell, this is why this strange incident is linked to the supernatural," said the account @dimas_riza.a
"How come those who sell sacrificial animals have the heart to lie for the sake of money?! If the buyer can do it, he doesn't know just by looking at the large weight at a cheap price," wrote the account @vinnydavinci25
"Both males and females can be sacrificed.... But how come you don't know that there is a female who is pregnant," said the account @echasmooty
"Only female cows have uteruses, but yesterday the torpedoes were counted according to the number of cows, weren't they confused? The committee was just shocked after getting the report, maybe there were people for fun who brought cow fetuses and then mixed them up so they thought they were sacrificial cows, or not tw," commented the account @fatma .ernii.
