Howdy Sir @janton, the snake story sounds a bit fuzzy, but sacrifices of humans we know about. Many murders take place for body parts and the witchdoctors use the parts to cast spells and to "heal". I was told that if you have a liver, or kidney problem, they offer you tea of a dried out healthy liver, or kidney part to drink, at a huge price of course.
Albino's are also favored for body parts, as the belief is that they have special powers.
This is of course illegal, but rarely are the witchdoctors prosecuted.
Blessings!

Howdy sir papilloncharity! well you're using present tense, so this is still going on??
Howdy Sir @janton, oh yes indeed, it is still going on and often in the news.
The sad thing is that animals are also targeted. Dead lion's are found without claws and other body parts, cheetahs, porcupines, and a host of other animal. Even the birds are targeted.
Blessings!

holy moly sir papilloncharity! dang, that sucks. Plus you have all the animal poaching on so many of the animals. Wow, you all got some major problems there! Is progress being made, in other words, it's not as bad as it used to be?
thanks so much for that link I got it saved to look at later.
Sadly it's getting worse by the day Sir @janton.
Blessings!
howdy tonight sir papilloncharity! It's getting worse instead of better??
well that's downright depressing. What needs to happen to slow down the poaching and
these other hideous things, besides a revival?
