Today I want to talk to you about a topic

A bit imaginative

A bit heavy-handed:

A person living alone dies suddenly

< p>Will his pets eat his body?

Let me start with the conclusion: High probability, yes< /p>

Seeing this conclusion

Some people may refute me:

It’s impossible

I’m usually so good to it

How could it be cruel enough to eat my corpse?

From the existing cases

p>

Pets eat their owners’ corpses

There are two main reasons:

①Animal instinct

Although pets have been domesticated for a long time

But they are carnivores/omnivores after all

Physiological needs always come first

If the owner dies suddenly

< p>Pets trapped in an enclosed space

Without food for several days

They will be driven by instinct

Look for ways to fill their stomachs

p>

The body of the owner at this time

In their eyes, it is a piece of food that can satisfy their hunger

In addition to the most common cats and dogs

hamsters, birds and other pets

also have scavenging behavior< /p>

So if you die unexpectedly

it has been a long time since you wereFound

And your pet can access your body

There is a high probability that it will be eaten

② Try to wake up

Of course there are different situations

< p>There is such a case in the "International Journal of Forensic Medicine"

A 31-year-old man committed suicide

The police arrived at the scene half an hour later

His neck was found

There are already traces of dog bites

There is still half a bowl of dog food next to it

It is obvious

This The case cannot be explained by

"to fill the stomach"

A more reasonable explanation is that

The pet is to wake up the owner who has passed away

Seeing the owner lying on the ground unconscious

The pet will try to wake up the owner by licking and nibbling

If there is no response

it will make the pet panic and irritable

< p>The movements will become bigger and bigger

Finally, they will fall into madness

This situation occurs more often in dogs

It was mentioned in a forensic medicine paper in 2015

After the accidental death of the owner< /p>

About 24% of dogs

will eat the body of their owner within 24 hours

These dogs obviously have other foodFood can be eaten

But they don’t care

Seeing this

The poop shovelers may be a little bit broken

So I think It is necessary

I will share with you another counter-example

An old man living alone in Dalian died unexpectedly

It took more than a month before he was discovered

< p>The body of a dog was also found in the elderly home

According to the situation at the scene

The dog should have starved to death because no one took care of it

Although there are bite marks on the old man

but it should be caused by the dog trying to drag the old man in a panic

rather than trying to eat< /p>

In the last days of your life

It endured hunger like this, guarding the old man's body

Until it starved to death

A person living alone died suddenly

Will pets eat their owners? body

At present, there is no conclusion

< /p>

But what is certain is that

The life span of pets is much shorter than that of humans

In most cases

Your pet will be shorter than You leave first

Live in this world for more than ten years

You are its only one

How could it want to eat you?
