Suicide Forest in Japan (by vice)
Not sure if I shared this already, this is pretty intense.
Do not support these theme parks until they let those poor animals back in to the sea and out of their bathtub jail. There will only be more deaths and misery.
Many albinos have been slaughtered in Tanzania recently. The murders are a result of extreme poverty and ancient superstition. Owning albino body parts are said to bring luck and fortune. .The Mintindo school just outside Mwanza has become a sanctuary for albino kids in northern Tanzania.. .Already, before the recent wave of murders, they were an exposed and vulnerable group in one of the world’s poorest countries. In addition to discrimination, and now murder, the albino population face unique medical issues. Serious eye problems often lead to a lack of education among albino people. They then are frequently forced to take low-wage jobs under the equatorial sun and a lack of knowledge about skin cancer kills many of them in very young age..In the midst of tragedy there are also found laughter and a spirit of hope. The albino people in Tanzania are organizing and refusing to let the murderers continue unnoticed. They are demanding action from the government and the government has begun to take notice…Before the game Simba against Yanga at the National Stadium, The albinos play a friendly game against the parlament, Dar es Salaam Tanzania..
But although all the clues point to the cruellest of murders, there is little chance of this ‘cold case’ ever being solved.
The mystery is puzzling not police, but archaeologists, as the gruesome events took place more than 1,800 years ago.Archaeologists believe the child was murdered and then buried in a rush so as not to arouse suspicion.

A skeleton found at an ancient Roman site in Britain has researchers wondering if they’ve stumbled on a murder mystery.
Excavations at the buried town of Venta Icenorum at Caistor St. Edmund in Norfolk, England, found what, for now, archaeologists are terming a “highly unusual” setup.
“This is an abnormal burial,” said archaeologist Will Bowden of the University of Nottingham. “The body, which is probably male, was placed in a shallow pit on its side, as opposed to being laid out properly. This is not the care Romans normally accorded to their dead. It could be that the person was murdered or executed, although this is still a matter of speculation.”
Carthaginians carried out large-scale child sacrifice from the eighth to second centuries B.C. The researchers announced their results this year after spending decades examining the cremated remains of 540 children from 348 burial urns excavated in the Tophet, a cemetery outside Carthage’s main burial ground. Schwartz determined that about half the children were prenatal or would not have survived more than a few days beyond birth, and the rest died between one month and several years after birth. Only a very few children were between five and six years old, the age at which they begin to be buried in the main cemetery
