An unidentified man was detained and brought to police station after his neighbours caught him drinking a dog’s blood. The man reportedly sucked out canine’s blood on a regular basis before killing poor animals in Hudaiydah, western Yemen.
According to local media, he tried to escape the arrest but was eventually restrained by police officers with the help of locals. Some villagers accused the man of being a ‘dog vampire’, who had been living for months feeding on animal blood.
Emirates247 reports: “They found a little dog with him. He was sucking its blood alive. Police said the man is not from the region and speaks strange languages.” It’s unknown what kind of offense the psycho will be charged with, but it’s higly likely he would be prosecuted for animal cruelty.
Many cultures consume blood of domesticated animals as food, often in combination with meat, while some cultures, blood is taboo. The Igbo ethnic group of Nigeria has no explicit prohibitions against eating blood, but most regard it with disgust and refuse to eat any meat perceived as “bloody” or undercooked.
Goats, cattle, and other animals slaughtered in the traditional Igbo manner are dispatched with a single cut across the neck and then most or all of the blood is allowed to slowly drain from the wound. This practice may have been influenced by the Igbo Jewish community that apparently predates contact with Europe.
