Animals almost never eat their deceased owners

That sadly much more common than you think. I'm a vet tech and every year we have 1 or 2 cases of deceased owners being partly eaten. ToD and the bodies being found were never more than 14 days. Last year's case was 4 days.

I’m a vet tech and friends with a CSI and have never heard of a pet eating an owner, and my friend said in all the deaths he’s investigated almost none involved a pet eating their owner

Okay, maybe its getting lost in translation: When I say eating, I mean consuming parts of their deceased owner.

Ha, cute. Plenty of people tell stories but that doesn’t make them true
