It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

  • lacks any specificity (what organs? what animals?).

  • expects the reader to believe that any lab in this country can get results back fast enough that you'd get a conclusive answer next day.

  • scientists can just look at some miscellaneous organs and determine how their owner died apparently.

  • fails to properly gesture at a target minority.

  • call to action is just look into it please.

  • transparently the anti-Haitian panic from US politics transplanted over here.

0/10, shoddiest moral panic I've seen in a while, the Tory party really is slipping.

Apart from the fact she’s probably trying to dogwhistle here, I’m pretty confident she has no trouble eating animals she doesn’t consider pets. Would she then apply the same logic to herself? I’m calling on the Home Secretary of UK to look into this, if she’s eating dead animal bodies or secretions what else is she capable of?

In fairness to point one, attached was actually a picture of said entrails CW: Bloody entrails..

Everything else, yeah. It's probably just from local hunting.

Funny if all this was referencing fox hunting

That literally does just look like what people do when hunting if they aren't interested in doing anything with the innards, it's simpler to get everything out right away so that there's no risk of contamination.

I'd say that assuming this is near a regular walking route its definitely some extremely bad manners from whoever did it in that case though. It's one thing to leave stuff out where it's safe to assume other animals will get to it, but near where regular people walk is nasty.

Apparently there isn't supposed to be hunting around there, but the alternative scenario in that case surely would be that some other animal carried it there or whatever. What sort of supposed satanic ritual just coincidentally leaves a set of internal organs that look identical to when a hunter is trying not to puncture anything and get nasty organ stuff all over?

It was around Leeds, plenty of places around Leeds were people would hunt. Even if they're not meant to be (eg poaching).

Really odd that someone'd leave it so close a trail. All the folks I knew who'd, like, lamp for rabbits or whatever would bury what they stripped.

I think this kind of anti-African panic has been long simmering in the UK too, I recall reading about a 2002 case where the remains of a young black boy were discovered in the Thames, and the "loony" opinion was that it was satanists, while the measured and reasonable opinion printed in shit like the Telegraph was that it was probably "African witch doctors"

Aside from that, the organs in the attached photo just actually look intact and relatively unremarkable aside from not being inside of an animal, surely the only thing you could test for in that case would be if stress hormones or similar are built up, which could be any kind of pain and stress, or like if they find weird poison in a stomach?
