In remote forests, humans may become prey to tigers, lions, bears and wolves. But what is unimaginable is that as a human pet, it will eat its own owner.
According to the Mirror, in russia's Rostov region, 20 Maine cats have not found food for a long time after the unexpected death of their owners, and they have taken the body of the hostess as their "lunch on the plate".
The scientists explain that this phenomenon, while cruel, is also quite normal. After the sudden death of the owner, the pets are locked in the house, there is no way to find food, they are extremely hungry, they can only eat the owner's body to survive.
01 The chef unfortunately died, and the pet dog could not find food and had to nibble on his corpse to survive
After the death of the owner, the pet eats the corpse, in fact, is not uncommon, almost every year.
In Britain, there was a woman who lived alone and suddenly died suddenly in the kitchen. Two months later, people opened the door of her residence and witnessed her carcass eaten by a cat and a cat still alive.
In Spain, there is an old man who lives alone, does not know why he died, but is eaten part of his body by his pet cat; A cook who died at home due to lymphoma survived, and his pet dog, who could not find food, had to nibble on his corpse to survive.
In the United States, a man in his early 30s was only found a few days after his death, but his head, neck and part of his arms had already been eaten by 10 of his pet cats.
In Germany, the woman died in her apartment with obvious animal bite marks on her face, and the shape of the teeth left behind tells us that this is obviously a pet mouse.
02 Pets eat their owners from time to time, why do pets eat their own owners?
In response to the matter of pet eating owners, many scientists have put forward their own opinions after careful investigation, and there are currently three main views:
First, although there are many scavengers in nature, cats are not one of them, and in the entire cat family, there are few cases of scavenging. So, usually, pet cats don't do it after the owner dies.
But if there is an extreme shortage of food and pet cats can no longer tolerate hunger, they will also use "rotten meat" as food.
Second, the owner dies suddenly, and the pet will try to help the unconscious person by licking or nudging, but when these behaviors do not produce any results, the pet will fall into extreme panic, can't help but become more crazy, and gradually escalate into a disabling behavior, and begin to bite and even nibble.
Third, pets such as cats and dogs used to play the role of "scavengers", wandering around, eating human food scraps and other discarded waste, a trait that may still be preserved to this day, leading them to treat their owners' corpses as ordinary residues.
