can we not compare people being murdered (esp since there's already a big factor of dehumanization) to deforestation thx

[lonely_hour]

i agree with that. but i wasn't comparing them on the same level per se, as you and bleed_peroxide suggests i did (deforestation = murder). It was just a remark on how as humans we destroy and ruin things we know and understand to be important, precious and worthy of respect/dignity. So "who would want to destroy and cut that up?" i take as an ironic, almost rhetorical question -because we do plenty of things that begs the question of "why do we do that?"/"why would want to destroy?" I just brought up deforestation because the degradation of ecology is a clear image of some of the contrary behaviour humans exhibit; the things we do that are antagonistic to our own beliefs of what constitutes the good life. I apologize for offending you with my unclear comment, but i didn't mean to imply cutting humans has the same weight is the same as cutting a tree -but as both falling under being a subject to often inscrutable, contrary and distressing human behaviour.

I had to re-read some lines of this a couple times because of the horror. Potions? They're being made into potions? D: I mean, it's wrong and horrific to kill people for their skin color obviously, but these people are being butchered to be made into potions. That's serial killer shit right there.

So happy to see this photography, on another note. It's nice to see these people getting some respect.

in my sociology class we watched a short clip on this topic, and one person actually said his brother sold him out to 'hunters' for money. some people are just really horrific. :/

Sad thread throughout all of human history really that those who are different get othered to the extent where people feel justified in killing them for whatever excuse. -_-

yeah, that's the bottom line in the end...time for some LOLcats!

Well, fuck. That's a horror that just needs to *stop*. How in the world can people be that...disconnected from humanity to actually hunt other humans down for *potion ingredients*.

If ever a group of people needed special dispensation for visas to other countries....
