Your boggling link of the day...

Woman dies, is partially eaten by pet dogs. Sound like your typical "person eaten by their pets" story? Nope. Go ahead and read. I dare you.

Quote:
"Bard [a deputy] pulled up to the trailer. Inside, he found Esther Crigger lying on a dirty mattress on the floor, surrounded by a pack of dogs eating her body. Then Bard looked to his left and saw Crigger's 37-year-old son, Don, standing at the stove about 10 feet from his mother. He was eating eggs from a pan."

Quote:
"The Crigger trailer smelled of sweat and dogs. The floor was spotted with dog droppings. The ceiling was stained black from a leaky chimney and covered by a mass of spider webs.

There is no running water. The Criggers said they go to the bathroom in the yard. If there's an outhouse amid the thickets, it clearly is not used. "

Totally ignoring letting your pack of dogs eat your mother, I can't understand how someone could live like that.

Edit: Heh heh. My icon + this post makes me snicker.

... that is by FAR the most FUCKED up thing I have read in AGES.

You win.

*utterly creeped out*

...plus, it's really hard to find an appropriate icon for it.

[thistle-chaser.livejournal.com]

Isn't it? And heehee, your icon works!

That is FUBAR to a new level of FUBAR. It surpasses anything I've seen on Animal Cops ...which takes some doing since some of the stuff they show is mind boggling.

Skeeve me out checklist:
1) Apalling filth? Check.
2) Mind numbing ignorance? Check.
3) Animals eating someone? Check.
4) Slovenly indifference? Check.
5) Inhuman indifference? Check.
6) Squallor and a lack of ability to recognize it as such? Check.

I'm severely skeeved out right now. Thanks for sharing!

You just broke my mind. o_o

[thistle-chaser.livejournal.com]

Heehee, sorry!

[thistle-chaser.livejournal.com]

I can never watch Animal Cops, it makes me too sad.

And heehee, welcome! :P

[pomr.livejournal.com]

I generally can't either. I cannot for the life of me figure out how the animal cops restrain themselves from clubbing the shit out of some of the monsters on the show.

What makes me the most sad is how the idiots either don't understand that what they're doing is wrong or try to argue with and lie to the cops. Like...a horse that's got open sores and shaggy fur and that hasn't been fed in weeks, and obviously so. But they claim it was fine just last week. RiiiiIIiight.

Anyway, you have successfully left me severely squicked. :)

[pomr.livejournal.com]

No you're not. :3

*gawk*

I, too, have no icon to express my shock.

So I'll just go with boobs. Boobs > Dogs eating mommy.

[wanderingscribe.livejournal.com]

As squicktastical as that is, I can't help but wonder about the son's mental capacities. Was he even fully aware that she was dead?

[thistle-chaser.livejournal.com]

See? Dogs are bad! They eat mommies! Don't tell me that Peppy wouldn't have eaten a mommy, since we know he eats everything!

[thistle-chaser.livejournal.com]

No clue... I'd hope not.

[thistle-chaser.livejournal.com]

Ha ha, I'm not! You caught me!

[thistle-chaser.livejournal.com]

Exactly. I already think so poorly of the human race, shows like that only lower my opinion further...

[wanderingscribe.livejournal.com]

Same here, but it also makes the whole thing just a little more sad than gross.
