Rare albino wild moose sacredly honored and not hunted by Natives shot and killed by White hunters in Canada, meanwhile in Tanzania a national meal is made from the hair, blood, and bones of people with albinism. Over 71 people with albinism have been murdered to be eaten in Tanzania since 2006. Traditional healers and witch doctors have long considered the body parts of people with albinism as being essential to their magical recipes. These practitioners of muti—or medicine murder—believe that their recipes heal the sick and bestow El Dorado-like fortunes on the poor. Men with HIV and AIDS have been known to abduct young albino girls, in the belief that raping them might help cure their afflictions. Fishermen often pay hunters for their human wares, believing an albino limb or two might jazz up their fishing nets and attract better catches. vice/en_ca/read/the-tanzanian-albino-hunt
