What is wrong with people?
JAKARTA (Reuters) - Seven dogs starved of food and water for two weeks are suspected of eating their Indonesian owner after he returned to his hometown in Manado from a holiday, local media reported on Tuesday.
A neighborhood guard was curious when he saw luggage lined up at the front of Andre Lumboga's house, days after the 50-year old arrived back home. He approached the house, smelled something foul and called the police, according to a report.
"His skull was found in the kitchen, and his body was found in the front of his house," Eriyana, a local police chief in Batam, an island off Sumatra, told VIVAnews website.
Lumboga arrived home last Wednesday, but his body was just discovered on Monday.
"We suspect that the dogs were hungry, so they attacked Andre, because they had not been fed for 14 days," he said. Police also found bones of two other dogs, believed to have also been eaten by the hungry canines.
Lumboga was from northern Sulawesi island, a predominantly Christian area, where the local spicy diet is famous in Indonesia for including dogs, bats and forest rats.

Posted: 9/8/11 at 10:56amI hate leaving my dogs while I'm at work. You can rest assured they have plenty of food, fresh water and the house is comfortable for them. How do you go away for 2 weeks and not make sure they're well taken care of? This blows my mind.

Posted: 9/8/11 at 11:31amIf the dogs actually attacked and killed him I would suspect that there was abuse in some other form prior to those 14 days. Granted I've never starved a dog for even a day, let alone 14, but I couldn't imagine any of the dogs we have owned attacking and eating any member of my family, even if they were starving.

Posted: 9/8/11 at 3:18pmI grew up in a resort area. People would rent beach houses and just leave their pets behind in the houses when they're rental periods were done. Some people are soulless.
"You travel alone because other people are only there to remind you how much that hook hurts that we all bit down on. Wait for that one day we can bite free and get back out there in space where we belong, sail back over water, over skies, into space, the hook finally out of our mouths and we wander back out there in space spawning to other planets never to return hurrah to earth and we'll look back and can't even see these lives here anymore. Only the taste of blood to remind us we ever existed. The earth is small. We're gone. We're dead. We're safe."

This is truly awful.
But why then, is it so funny?

I'm going to agree with AEA -- this certainly wasn't the first time they'd been abussed -- and likely violently.
Good for them taking care of the problem.
If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it?
