Cannibal Cremators Eat Body

tako-luka-takoyaki-octo-cannibal.jpg

A group of four men responsible for cremating the dead were set upon by an angry mob after they were discovered eating the half cooked remains of the corpses they were supposed to be cremating.

The four, including a father and son, worked at a public cremation ground in the north Indian state of Haryana, where human corpses are usually disposed of by burning on a funeral pyre.

Witnesses reported that late one night the men were tending such a funeral pyre left burning into the night, but instead of overseeing an orderly cremation, they pulled a half-burnt corpse from the pyre, began drinking, and started to eat the roasted cadaver.

The night-watchman who witnessed this particular scene quickly reported it to the authorities responsible for the grounds; soon word had spread and an outraged mob had formed, which began beating the men for their brazen cannibalism.

The cannibals escaped lynching when police arrived and took them into custody; police have levelled an impressive list of charges against the men, mostly centred on blasphemy rather than corpse abuse and cannibalism: “trespassing on burial places with the intention of wounding feelings of any person, insulting religion, defiling a place of worship with intent to insult religion of any class, and wanton provocation.”

It is not clear whether this was an isolated incident.

Via Heaven.

The sources are quiet on the matter, but it is likely that the workers involved were members of India’s “dalit” caste, hereditary lineages of impoverished peasants tasked with work traditionally considered “unclean”, and who are highly discriminated against.

    Oh yeah, India still has that caste system thing going. I remember learning about the dalit class several years ago in class. Thought they'd get rid of that by now, since India is considered another budding superpower (thanks to their massive population) along with China.

    Are they members of the Aghori Sect ? Because their rituals include alcohol and necrocannibalism. Here an excerpt from Wikipedia:

    Therefore while for ordinary people cannibalism may be seen as primitive, barbaric as well as unclean, for aghoris it is being both resourceful and subverting the common stereotypes placed on such taboos into a spiritual ascertainment that indeed nothing is profane nor separate from God, who is hailed to be all and in all. In fact, the Aghoris see it as a scientific approach in trying to discover how matter converts from one form to another.

    Your philosophy is...hm...unique. But I can't help agreeing with you. Tens of thousands of people willed away their bodies each year for scientific researches and educational purposes. I still remember writing a thank you letter to the family of the gentleman who willed his body for my education when I was still in med school. Frankly, if I am dead, as long as you don't do something obscene to my body, you can do whatever you want if it is for greater goods.

    around Indonesia and the archipelagos in that region, it was recorded that cannibalistic tribes ate, or drank, of those bodies whose qualities mirrored there own; the strong eat the muscles of the strong, the wise eat the brains of the old et cetera... but personally i don't think it's founded on anything solid.

    I wonder if this just seemed like a good idea to them because they'd been drinking.

    Perhaps they were curious as to the taste, or were taking revenge on the society and caste system which limits them to this sort of work.

    When I was living in a smallish college town in the U.S., my path to work took me by a crematorium. When the air pressure was low, and they were doing cremations, I would smell this sickly-sweet-kind-of-charred smell I'd not previously smelt (it took me a while to figure out what it was).

    Since then, I've moved to a much larger city, and ocasionally smell it. I've described it to my friends, but nobody seems to understand what I'm talking about.

    As to the charges, how can you prove what a person intended ("I didn't intend to wound the feelings of the families or insult their religion. If I wanted to do that, I'd have eaten the corpse while standing in their front yard, so they'd be sure to see it. Actually, I was just a bit peckish, ya know?")?

    I can understand why the families were mad, though.

    "Survivors of a Uruguayan plane crash in the Andes, who were cut off from the outside world for weeks, in desperation ate fellow passengers killed in the accident. After their rescue, the survivors told Piers Paul Read—who set down their story in the current best-seller Alive (Lippincott)—that after cooking the meat briefly (they tried it first raw), “the slight browning of the flesh gave it an immeasurably better flavor–softer than beef but with much the same taste.”"

    i don't know why but i had been doing research on cannibalism for the last couple months. might be because i had watched hannibal rising.

    this is from wikipedia:

    "Prior to 1931, New York Times reporter William Buehler Seabrook, allegedly in the interests of research, obtained from a hospital intern at the Sorbonne a chunk of human meat from the body of a healthy human killed by accident, and cooked and ate it. He reported that, "It was like good, fully developed veal, not young, but not yet beef. It was very definitely like that, and it was not like any other meat I had ever tasted. It was so nearly like good, fully developed veal that I think no person with a palate of ordinary, normal sensitiveness could distinguish it from veal. It was mild, good meat with no other sharply defined or highly characteristic taste such as for instance, goat, high game, and pork have. The steak was slightly tougher than prime veal, a little stringy, but not too tough or stringy to be agreeably edible. The roast, from which I cut and ate a central slice, was tender, and in color, texture, smell as well as taste, strengthened my certainty that of all the meats we habitually know, veal is the one meat to which this meat is accurately comparable."

    The only rights being denied here are those looking for the right to not be religious (and not finding it), to speak out against unfairness caused by select over-reaching religions, without it being illegal.

    1) You say you support the idea that insulting a religion should be a crime?

    It is not all that disturbing, just humans come evolutionarily pre-programmed against cannibalism, as it is a _bad_ idea in a long term.
    Either they died from diseases and poisons, and eating them will kill the eater, or it involves killing someone of one's own species. Both variants easily lead to an early death, so evolution resulted in a prohibition of such an act. Kind of like it happened with incest.
    Since it is genetic, it is not going to become more acceptable in the nearby future.

    Actually, survival of the fittest works with populations. A lot of people has a greater chance of surviving than a lone human yes? Extrapolating that, leaves us with the concept of respect for other people, so we can work with them with a greater ease. Most believe eating another person violates that respect, which I do freely admit, I have no clue where it came from, but it definitely is there.. But I DO agree with you, eating human meat when there's nothing else is in us too, for the "STAY THE FUCK ALIVE" instinct is much stronger than some stupid custom/huge extrapolation.

    It's disturbing how Tako-Luka is used for the OP picture. And it's also a disturbing fact that tako-Luka is an octopus+ human head ...

    ~ I always wondered about that... where did she originate from and more importantly... "why" in that form?

    I'm curious...

    That way they could have tentacle rape and it only be somewhat different from normal rape.

    Ahhh... I can see that...

    Ok, (now) where did she originate from? as an Manga? Just an icon? or an anime.. or just an idea?

    I googled, and came up with nothing...

    I'm rather curious...
