Cindy,
Thank you for sharing this post card- I have seen one sinilar many years ago
and it was not goats but piglets asharing the breast with a suckling child
and the person who had been working in New Guinea, at the time told me that
that was a common occurrance as the piglets were valuable barter and the
child shared breasts with the family piglet.Appeared that was the normal
occurrance.
so far I haven't seen the Baluch People sharing here in Pakistan but I
believe the primitive people here about have been known to do the same.
Regards,
Temp 32 humidity 10% and a dust storm in progress in Sunny Quetta today,

Take a look at his post card for sale on e bay....

http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=467737193

Here is some text about the card :
The card is titled "Sakels Nursing their pets." These pets appear to be tiny
goats.They have latched onto the breasts of the two women.There are several
children nearby.The card was postmarked in Penang Malaysia in 1908 and sent
to Akron,Ohio.The message is in a foreign language that I can't translate

It is very different..... anyone know anything about it?
Thanks,
Cindy
