The case of two black women who were allegedly shot and fed to pigs by a white farmer and two of his workers has caused outrage in South Africa.

Maria Makgato, 45, and Lucia Ndlovu, 34, were allegedly looking for food on the farm near Polokwane in South Africa’s northern Limpopo province in August when they were shot.

Their bodies were then alleged to have been given to pigs in an apparent attempt to dispose of the evidence.

You're always gonna have problems lifting a body in one piece. Apparently the best thing to do is cut up a corpse into six pieces and pile it all together.

And when you got your six pieces, you gotta get rid of them, because it's no good leaving it in the deep freeze for your mum to discover, now is it? Then I hear the best thing to do is feed them to pigs. You got to starve the pigs for a few days, then the sight of a chopped-up body will look like curry to a pisshead. You gotta shave the heads of your victims, and pull the teeth out for the sake of the piggies' digestion. You could do this afterwards, of course, but you don't want to go sievin' through pig shit, now do you? They will go through bone like butter. You need at least sixteen pigs to finish the job in one sitting, so be wary of any man who keeps a pig farm. They will go through a body that weighs 200 pounds in about eight minutes. That means that a single pig can consume two pounds of uncooked flesh every minute. Hence the expression, "as greedy as a pig".

It's a quote from Snatch.

I need to go watch that again.

[-] kmartburrito@lemmy.world 18 points 3 days ago

Well thank you, that's a large weight off my mind. But would you mind very much telling me who the' fuck you are? Other than a man that feeds people to pigs of course.

Do you know what "namesis" means? "A righteous infliction of retribution manefested by an appropriate agent." Personified in this case by a horrible cunt: me.

Yeah. I mean…. That would certainly cause outrage.

And I was just going to comment "What year is it??"

[-] foggy@lemmy.world 12 points 3 days ago

They'll go through bones like butter.

Be weary of any man who keeps a pig farm.

Was looking for the snatch reference here....

I'm not here to make a point. I'm here to buy a caravan.

Don't they come from Antwerp?

[-] MilitantAtheist@lemmy.world 7 points 3 days ago

I've been to Polokwane twice, it's a nice place. However, there's no way I would ever approach someone's farm unannounced in South Africa.

[-] Mr_Blott@feddit.uk 2 points 3 days ago

I know, "allegedly looking for food". On a farm. In south Africa.

That's "stealing from a racist cunt while being black" and it's not going to end well

What is this, Deadwood?

This shit isn't world news. It's local news. I don't need to hear about every murder happening in every corner of the world.

[-] Soup@lemmy.cafe 6 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

It happened in the world. It’s relevant. You aren’t obligated to read it. Scrolling is a thing that exists for a reason.

[-] originalucifer@moist.catsweat.com -1 points 3 days ago

you want a prion disease outbreak? cuz this is how you setup a whole bunch of people to die 10-20 years later

[-] Nurse_Robot@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago

Why would feeding an animal humans lead to prion disease?

[-] originalucifer@moist.catsweat.com 6 points 3 days ago

if those animals are then fed back to humans... thats where the danger lies.

[-] Nurse_Robot@lemmy.world 6 points 3 days ago

Why would that be the case? Unless those 2 people already had prion disease, I'm not understanding the connection you're alleging.

[-] originalucifer@moist.catsweat.com 2 points 3 days ago

i was under the impression you dont feed humans to humans or mammals to mammals due to prion pathways

[-] Nurse_Robot@lemmy.world 8 points 3 days ago

Mammals eat mammals all the time, think of predators (wolves, bears, lions, tigers) and prey (rabbits, prairie dogs, deer). I don't see any reason why eating a human, or eating something that ate a human, would lead to prion disease.

I'm aware of Kuru, which is nearly if not entirely eradicated. That doesn't invalidate any of my points

[-] andrew_bidlaw@sh.itjust.works -2 points 3 days ago

I don't see any reason why eating a human, or eating something that ate a human, would lead to prion disease.

That's sweet.

It's just infectious disease my guy
