Starving North Koreans eating own kids, corpses

Reports from inside the secretive famine-hit pariah state, North Korea, claim a man has been executed after murdering his two children for food.

Shocking reports claim North Koreans are turning to cannibalism including details of one man who dug up his grandchild's corpse to eat and another who boiled his child and ate the flesh.

Details of the incidents were reported by the Asia Press, and published in the Sunday Times.

They claim a 'hidden famine' in the farming provinces of North and South Hwanghae has killed 10,000 people, and there are fears that cannibalism is spreading throughout the country.

The reports come as sanctions are tightened against the backdrop of angry rhetoric over missile testing.

The litany of horrors were documented by Asia Press, a specialist news agency based in Osaka, Japan, which claims to have recruited a network of "citizen journalists" inside North Korea.

The reports are considered credible.

Interviews have led Asia Press to conclude that probably more than 10,000 people have died in North and South Hwanghae provinces, south of Pyongyang, the capital.

I never considered humans to be too civilized to begin with. Given the circumstances, even the most civilized human being can become a wild animal.

Brootal

Given the circumstances? Well I'm sorry but no. I'll rather commit suicide rather than doing those :censored:

and unearth stuffs. Eating corpses and own kids? Good lord ! How am I even typing these words God knows!!

M

I think this is part of western media propaganda to depict North Korean current regime as "axis of evil"The actual incident might be true that some guy killed and then tried to eat kid but this has happened in nearly all outscores at some time (and not always due to starvation)..

Think how can a media spin incident like US shooting incident to " In USA people are so oppressed that they are killing their mother and 5-6 year old children "....

I think if those people can eat cat,dog,snake,cocroches,and dirtiest of animals for food then they can eat humans too...I am not surprised

^^Calm down dude.

Do not overreact. There must be some hidden agenda behind this news. I believe this news is not from any North Korean news agency.

And truely speaking, no matter what west say, they are the one actually invading the world. Who actually attacked vietnam, iraq, afghanisthan, droped bomb in japan. And they say they are doing it for good protecting the world from evil. I donot know, but if N K is making weapons of ZERO destruction, does not the WEST already have weapons of MASS destruction.

Uhhh. NK wants to obliterate SK‚ not US or Western countries. That's been on their agenda for decades. Reason being NK wanted to be Communist and SK wanted to be a Democracy.

this !!!

No Comments on this , we don't know how much truth it holds!
Although , IMO if you can eat any other organism , why not your kind if it can save your life. (Considering the fact that you prey only on the dead ones. , not kill anyone alive.)

Although : I am vegeterian.

truth will probably never come out. but, given that there are western propaganda involved and some rare case of weird cannibalism existed even in so called civilized countries too, there is no guarantee anywhere.

Do you know why Korea separated ?

While most for you are shocked how they can eat their own children, I am feeling very bad for them. Just imagine what could be their condition presently. Why they are cut of from this world. Why nobody is helping them. As Thunder said, NK wanna obliterate SK, that means no other country have any issue with NK. Where is humanity, where is human rights. No country helping them because they fear the west. No one fears SK.

This.
We are just too judgemental, judging everyone by our sense of morals. Take a moment to think as to what could have driven those unfortunate souls to this extreme step.
Even if the news were true, its not that they sold dug-up dead bodies as delicacies. You dont judge when you are staring death in the face. Just saying.

And sorry for the rant.

Wonder why nobody is feeling bad for those , and insteading of helping them'm out of famine , just trying to throw in BS talks about cannibalism.

You think they "might" be eating the'm for pleasure ??? Do you know how does it feels to die due to starvation ???
I bet , all moral and social values will start to diminish when you will be on the edge , starving to death.

this, could not find words for it

refuse to attach too much credibility especially because corpses and killings are in the same story, unless they are eating rats, crows, pigeons, cats and dogs as well, this is too far

if it is true, maybe it some kind of dark ages psycho condition, caused by unnatural famines

If they are eating their own children or corpses, then probably the dogs, cats, rats, etc have already run out. I do think the the credibility of this whole affair is questionable, but I do not question what human beings are capable of doing when living on the edge.

On what basis do you decide whether said animals are dirty or not?

^^
Chicken feed on worms. People take bath in the Ganges. Plants grow over the dirtiest of soil. So, clean chicken curry anyone ? :>

guys by dirty animals I ment just see what they eat...i have seen pics of those....yuk..maybe they r very poor...but cant they have goats,chickens,fish farming etc...y to eat strange insects

Who ever eats dogs I have no sentiments for them (on google it seems south korea eats them) :evil:

^ TO me , those Who Eat Chicken , Goats , Pigs , Buffaloes , are pretty much same as those who eat other animals like Snake or Donkeys or Monkeys what so ever.
On what basis do you classify the Chickens and Goats as eatable and others as dirty ??? Those poor Chickens also have life just like those weird looking snakes and Crocodiles.

Real sad news, I mean I have heard the tale that at last Monkey Mother sacrifices her own offspring to save herself and if that is their condition then its really sad that the HR guys who go rampant when someone is hanged don't give a damn about this.

Ok I agree with u somewhat ...no words can justify taking life of other animals

eating one animal is same as eating another animal..Due to different culture for people eating some animal is ok while some is taboo..but Tribals all around the world eat everything from snake lizard to rats ...

for eg for most Indians it might be taboo to eat cow but in US it is very common..

and many tribes in Nagaland eat dogs ....

Can't say how much truth does this news holds, as these are only reports and that too, coming through the secretive North Korea. May be, this is a tactic to create a sense of untrust among the North Koreans (as the article talks about one province) about their government, which is already facing sanctions and implications.

I agree with Rishi. :-D

VEGETARIAN BY CHOICE.

I was not able to find the exact words , but thats exactly What I meant .!

Totally agree.

Im surprise these NKs still go for nukes while there people is starving to death.

lol thats what i said at first...if they can eat all those animals then y not humans

whats soo surprising about it

I dont agree to this at all.
Check the status of this nation in the eyes of allied powers. NK have been bugged many times since past.
It may have happened that some incident of this sort took place at some place by some "disturbed person", but its highly possible that the media is using this piece of info as a tool to make people around the world misjudge them.
Korea had a rich past, be it their culture, tradition, loyalty or love for motherland.

No offense but this kind of mindset is what germinates more doubts.

cannibalism is different than eating other animals as food..though many animals do it (even lion ) but that is done mostly to claim territory than to eat as food source..

Though i understand what you are saying....There is natural psychological barrier which prevent most species to eat their own but once you go down that road nothing stops you..

BTW at least some ancient culture like Aztec or Inca might have involved in ritualistic cannibalism ....

as per US media because they have nukes and missiles that's why people are starving..They are spending all money in missile program and for luxuries for communist regime...

If they drop their missile program US will install a puppet government there and start sending aid via UN

I like korea... really.... and are we discussing about eatables here, cats and dogs and cockroaches ?
If we donot eat something obviously we will think it dirty. Anyway, I believe the agenda behind this news is to make the outside world understand "look NK's people are starving while govt is investing on nuke. How bad their govt. is. "
Anyway, NK too looks determined. ha ha. Few years ago I read somebody in Australia ate liver of his friend.

That's not too much of an incident to claim that "N. Koreans have been turning to cannibalism". That's actually not fair, and the MEDIA, is to be blamed to make it sensational.

tell me something? dont plants have life? just because plants "dont show emotions of dying" doesnt enable you to eat them and proclaim yourself as vegetarian. Enough with the rants against people who eat chicken, goat etc... you can argue all you want but you "so called vegetarians" are the same as us "meat eaters" and probably even worse. since you justify killing living beings(plants) as a source of food, and others as meat eaters, animal haters...(nvegetarians)

Yeah, everything is same. Now next time when you go out to buy Chicken or Mutton, don't buy it, buy Dog, or Cow. And don't buy Eggs, don't kill a life. Don't eat fish. And don't eat veg too, plant has life after all. Don't drink water too, don't steal Hydrogen and Oxygen. Don't eat Mushroom.
So what's left?
You see? Giving lecture is easy.

LOL. I wish this could be aired live on korean tvs.

PS Human is the dirtiest of those animals

you should stop living too, you are wasting precious oxygen.

No offence anypne, but I was reminded of this :

Vegetarians: Descendents of prehistoric people too lazy to hunt moving things

Seems like we are going off topic.

there is nothing wrong in being a vegetarian, but disregarding others taste for meat is wrong. and then giving all reasons for it like the poor animal.... awww... save him... cute little eyes.

No, I am a lazy non-vegetarian. I pay to have my prey hunted by someone.
