What a terrifying story.........WTF is wrong with people.
I am glad the snake bit that woman..........and I hope she is dead.........obviously she was up to some serious no good.
The Snake Gods were on her side...........she is very lucky to be alive..........I am not sure what ritual this is but they can keep it.

Lucky woman. Hope the other humans in this scenario died horribly, and hope the snake survived its shocking encounter.

I thought I lived in a primitive place. We have terrible crime here all the time, but this is insanity taken to the nth degree.

I'm guessing its somewhat like girls cout cookies. They just wanted it extra strong so it was coming from a live person.



What? Girl scout cookies aren't made out of Girl scouts????

Ah muti is kind of like "medicine" but not like we think about it.

Its not really a religious killing, its like a medicinal killing... they think that taking the fresh organs and limbs leaves the persons strength inside.

They use the body parts to make medicines for sick people, or sell the limbs eyes, liver, heart, etc off the the highest bidder.

People of "civilized" cultures like ours who cant get treatment for cancer and what-not in the US, Canada, etc pay hundreds of thousands of dollars for these stolen body parts so they can skip the long waiting lines in their country.

No one bothers to question why theres no waiting line for the body part they are receiving. Doesn't matter when your dying, right?


Touching story nonetheless... she was very lucky for an angry, hungry mamba to be nearby. But if you look into it the muti killings happen every day. People often sell off their own eyes, and livers, and what not willingly for 1% of what they are being sold for.
