Dead bodies fall prey to wildlife

Nairobi - Kenya's world-famous carnivorous wildlife - big cats and scavenger mammals and birds - may have made off with and devoured the bodies of human victims of recent post-election violence, says the Kenyan Red Cross.

"There are also an unspecified number of uncollected bodies due to accessibility difficulties, and it was feared the bodies may have been consumed by animals and birds of prey," said the Kenya Red Cross Society (KRCS) in a statement.

Aid workers feared that the Kenyan dead toll could overshoot at least 600 killed after they confirm the number of bodies in the bush mainly in the country's Rift Valley province, which hosted more than 80% of the 255 000 displaced.

The society said at least 1 300 people had been injured across the east African nation.

"The destruction and loss of property and crops worth millions of shillings have aggravated the situation since many people are affected and lack their means of livelihood," the statement added

Get a taste for the meat eating dead people. Then it moves to live ones. Bet they have a "maneater" problem this season.
