Killing People To Render Their Fat For Soap!?
Does this sound familiar? Luckily, Tyler Durden never spent any time in Peru, so we know he had nothing to do with this. All kidding aside though, this is a ghastly story. I'll let the Huffington Post take over from here:
LIMA, Peru — A gang in the remote Peruvian jungle has been killing people for their fat, police charged Thursday, draining it from their corpses and offering it on the black market for use in cosmetics. Medical experts expressed skepticism that a major market for fat might exist.
Three suspects have confessed to killing five people for their fat, said Col. Jorge Mejia, chief of Peru's anti-kidnapping police. He said the suspects, two of whom were arrested carrying bottles of liquid fat, told police it was worth $60,000 a gallon ($15,000 a liter).
Mejia said the suspects told police the fat was sold to intermediaries in Lima, the Peruvian capital. While police suspect the fat was sold to cosmetic companies in Europe, he could not confirm any sales.

Holy crap!
Why not just get from lipo patients?
Gotta be BS.
Sounds like a bunch of titicaca to me.
(rachacha)
I saw this on the news sometime ago. Creepy.
WOW! As I said on the Facebook wall for Chuck Palahniuk: "At least in Fight Club they didn't kill anyone. They just stole it." This is pretty messed up stuff. Did Fight Club have any influence on this? Or was it just a coincidence?
Thats scary! Crazy space monkeys!
I kill ALL the time because I read books. True story.
whoa.
I seem to get a better kill total on days I read.
Human fat is not in liquid state in regular temperature. It is solid.
Total BS.
I still think this is hilarious. I mean really, what the hell!?
I WISH it was $60k a gallon, I'd be cuttin' people up left and right, not killing them, just a slice-and-run with a nice five pound chuck of fatback.
Suddenly, fat people just became a hot commodity.
I wonder what Fat Albert's friends would do.
I made a topic about this in General Discussion about a week ago and nobody noticed.
Total BS.
But when you see liposuction shit on tv, the fat comes out liquidy.
What if you used human fat when frying? Would it work? I don't want to, really, it's gross and I don't feel like writing this. But WOULD it work?
This is the scenario:
You are almost starved to death but you're fat. And as you walk in winter/desert/evil-lands, you find a frying pan, a cast iron one, and you don't want to ruin it? Oh, and with the frying pan you get steaks.
hate to disappoint all you genius humanists:

ALLEN WAYNE!?
These issues are really being found very controversial but its quite surprised that killing of human just for getting fat, really ridiculous and sounds horrible, these incidents are rapidly increased in Peru and hope the cops are do their best for catching those gangs.

Well said, my friend.
This above topic has described about the criminal activity. It is mainly stated about the gang which killed people for their fat. It also killed five people. I think it is a bad practice.

this above topic is based on the killing the people. Here it is described that a gang has killed the people for the fatness. Due to this reason, police has charged many more. It is really a illegal work.
