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.

      Why would feeding an animal humans lead to prion disease?

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

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

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

              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.
