With the recent springing of Cannibalism on the news-what with the two naked dudes in Maimi and the more recent man arrested for killing his roommate and eating his heart and brain-I thought it might be the time to start talking about the obvious impending zombie apocalypse wrongness of eating other people.
Because I'm horrible at explaining, you can find an article about the nude man who growled at a police officer while eating someone's face and the student in Maryland who's parents turned him in for having a human head and hands in a tin in their basement at the proper links.

Edit ~ Found a better link for the nude Maimi man article.

why does this remind me of hanible lecter?

A lot of news feeds are likening it to Hannibal Lecter. On the bright side, the homeless man that was attacked on Saturday will live.

That's really disgusting. > n < I can't believe people do things like that.

[Haikura]

I thought they were kidding! Stupid funny friends! I can never tell when they're serious.

I actually don't have a problem with cannibalism....given it's done legally and not through murder or anything that breaks the law. (Edit; oh btw to those with a weak stomach that video may not be up your alley since it's also kinda gross.)

But 99.99% of the time it isn't so...

GUYS. GUYS. PLS. STOP, NO.
I am scared shitless of cannibalism, WHY MUST YOU MAKE THESE TOPICS?
This shit is just horrible. I don't know what goes through people's heads when they turn to cannibalism.
"LOL, let me eat my own species. I'm a human, but I'm going to act like an animal."

Ah, so this was the story that my friend was telling Haikura and I.....

I can't understand it either.

Cannibalism is just... gross. I don't get why people do it. But I saw this video a while ago, think it was on some Russian TV show, where these two guys each had a piece of human muscle. One guy had a piece of his buttock, while another had a piece of his leg. Grooooosss

*kisses fingers in a waving motion* Muah, C'est si bon!

Thank you, for that lovely image. I'm glad I don't live in Russia (no offense to uncannibalistic Russians).

Cannibalism is disgusting.

There really isn't much more to be said on that matter.

Blech. I wouldn't want to eat a human. Humans smell like salt and shame. Like pigs. I bet we taste like ham, and I hate ham.

Also, y'know, I'm psychologically and biologically programmed to find it disturbing because blah blah science.

The ethics, well....generally, we're supposed to be united as a "species" (even though we actually fight all the fucking time) so eating each other is kind of counterproductive. And I'm pretty against going around slaughtering living things with no regard for whether or not it's really necessary to do so or respect towards the life given anyway. But that's because I'm hippie scum.

Goddammit. I was trying to be nicer lately but I just can't not call this one out.

I have a startling revelation for you, my dear. Humans are animals. And not all animals practice cannibalism, or meat-eating in general, so the idea that becoming a cannibal is equatable to being an animal or animal-like is flawed logic. The word you were looking for, perhaps, was 'inhuman'; but that of course opens up a can of worms regarding what we can really define as "human nature" or "human-like" since we do, actually, share many of our more supposedly-unique traits with other species.

Hippie outttttttttttt -fades away-
