Ok with the recent rash of people screaming zombies and wondering about whether people have been eating each other lately here is a little top ten
list that goes to show that these last couple of weeks are not the first cases of people eating sickos. Now the Miami incident is a bit unnerving due
to the way the man acted and his attack coming out of nowhere but I believe things like this may be much more common than we realize
Cannibalism is perhaps the ultimate cultural taboo. There are many reasons why humans partake in this practice; for cultural purposes, for survival or
even for pleasure. Be clear: I do not condone or in any way; endorse what is contained in the following accounts. Read at your own risk.

Alferd Packer
Alferdpacker
Packer was an American gold prospector and convicted cannibal. On February 9th 1874, he left with 5 others for an expedition in the Colorado
mountains. Two months later Packer returned from the expedition alone. When questioned of the whereabouts of the men that had been with him, Packer
said that he killed them in self defense and was forced to eat their remains in order to survive the elements. His story was not believed and he soon
after signed two separate confessions. Packer was given a 40 year sentence, at that time the longest communal sentence in United States history.
Amazingly he was granted parole because sufficient doubt remained about his innocence.

Albert Fish
Albertfish-Full
Albert Fish was a true life monster in every sense of the word. He was sadistic, delusional and worst of all he received gratification from his
repulsive acts. Besides being an admitted serial killer and cannibal, he was also a rampant pedophile and a deviant. Fish kidnapped, murdered, and
consumed a 10 year old girl from Manhattan. Six years later Fish taunted the innocent girl’s family by sending a letter to them graphically
detailing his crime and the pleasure he received committing it. The letter was traced back to him and he was arrested and convicted. Justice would be
served on January 16, 1936 as Fish was executed at the Sing Sing Correctional Facility in upstate New York.

RUF was a revolutionary group based in Sierra Leone in Western Africa. By the late 1990’s they had been mired in a long bloody campaign to topple
the central government. These insurgents terrorized rural Sierra Leone in an effort to control the nations diamond mines. Aided by factions of the
National Patriotic Front of Liberia, these groups committed horrific atrocities which included forcing children to become soldiers, amputations of

“strength” from eating human flesh and as a tool for intimidation. The exact number of victims is unknown.

proceeded to cannibalize her over the next two days. Sagawa was eventually arrested by French authorities but deemed unfit for trial due to insanity

Chikatilo2
Chikatilo was a Ukrainian born serial killer and rapist. While in custody, Chikatilo confessed to over 50 murders and mutilations. He befriended,
killed, and ate his victims. He admitted that his motives were solely for sexual gratification. The details of Chikatilo’s life and crimes are the

operations in Russian police history. Chikatilo was executed in Rostov on February 14, 1994.

Mauerova family
Klara-Mauerova-And-Barbara-Skrlova
The Mauerova’s are a family of cult members and cannibals from the Czech Republic. Over an 8 month period, relatives and fellow cult members
participated in despicable acts against two brothers. The actual details of what a mother allowed to be done to her young children are extremely
disturbing. By a remarkable chain of events, the truth about the Maurova family was discovered on May 10, 2007 when horrific images on a baby monitor
(which they had installed in their house to view the crimes) where picked up by a neighbor who had the exact same monitor. A total of six people were
eventually convicted.

Armin Meiwes

By most accounts Meiwes was a depraved and pathetic individual from Roteburg, Germany. In 2001 he posted an advertisement on an internet site which
read in part “looking for a well-built 18 to 30-year-old to be slaughtered and then consumed”. Unbelievably Meiwes received a serious response
from a willing participant. The two men met on Christmas Day and proceeded to commit and videotape some of the most unimaginable acts on earth. Meiwes
was arrested after revealing details of his crime. He is currently serving a life sentence in a German prison.

Carib West Indian Tribes
Cannibalismart
The first known modern accounts of cannibalism were reported following Columbus’ expedition to the West Indies. At this point cannibalism was
considered atrocious and sacrilegious in the developed world. Imagine, if you will, the indescribable horror that the first Europeans felt when they
witnessed Carib natives during a post war ritual chewing and/or eating human flesh. This misunderstanding of Caribbean culture lead to the people of
the America’s being considered “savages”. These sentiments lead to policies which encouraged countless incidents of slavery, mass murder,
exploitation and destruction of the native culture of the America’s that continued for centuries.

Stella Maris College Rugby Team
Uruguay
Accidente 1972
On October 13, 1972 the team was on its way from Montevideo, Uruguay to play a match in Santiago Chile. Fierce wind and snow hounded the flight as the
plane trekked through the Andes mountains. Due to poor weather and pilot error the plane crashed atop of an unnamed mountain on the border of Chile
and Argentina. Search parties from three countries searched for 11 days in vain to find the downed flight of 45 people but were unsuccessful and all
passengers were presumed dead. What followed next is one of the greatest examples of human survival ever recorded. Despite no food or heat 16 members
of the team stayed on top of the mountain for over two months through the brutal winter while being forced to eat the remains of their fallen
teammates before finally being rescued.
