Dogs Ate Corpses Of Ebola Victims by dondavidson(m): 8:28am On Sep 05, 2014
In Liberia angry residents raised an alarm
after they saw that wild dogs were digging
up corpses of Ebola victims and were eating
them in the streets.

Dogs were spotted near the “Ebola graveyard”. Starving creatures ‘opened’ the graves and ate flesh. Disgusting scene took place several weeks ago when citizens refused to let the government bury infected corpses at their lands. But the state’s officials decided to quickly solve this problem and buried the bodies in a hurry.

Bodies were hidden at night to avoid conflicts with citizens. But infected corpses turned out to be an easy item to reach even for a dog. Many of corpses containing Ebola were buried near Johnsonville Township, on the outskirts of the Liberian capital city of Monrovia.

Dogs can’t die from Ebola virus, but they can
easily transfer it to humans through licking or
biting. So the fears are spreading all over the
villages. Citizens are deeply disappointed of such action by the government that fails to protect them. It is not known why not to bury bodies infected byEbola virus better, in deeper graves.

Scientists claim the deadly Ebola virus can mutate rapidly, and this makes it harder to treat and diagnose. There are nearly 400 ‘modifications’ of the virus now.

Plzzz watch out for disgusting dogs
