Still Waters Posted June 13, 2014 #1 Share Posted June 13, 2014 A woman in China is embracing a regular person's apocalyptic nightmare by welcoming 100,000 cockroaches into her home. 37-year-old Yuan Meixia, of Fujian, uses her rural house as a breeding ground for the bug, where they are fed sugary treats, warmed by a gas-fire stove, and pampered with the loving care you'd give a spoiled dog. http://metro.co.uk/2...r-home-4760366/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Q-C Posted June 13, 2014 #4 Share Posted June 13, 2014 (edited) "The Palmetto cockroaches are popular in some traditional Chinese medicine, and pharmaceutical companies will pay about £75 per kilo for the bugs." "She drowns them in vats of water, dries them in the sun, then has them shipped to a buyer over 900 km away." Why am I not surprised? At least she's not driving dogs to market crammed in basket. Or maybe that's on Thursdays "These are my children?" Yikes! I guess that's why she lives alone? Edited June 13, 2014 by QuiteContrary 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Princess Serenity Posted June 13, 2014 #5 Share Posted June 13, 2014 This has to be unhealthy for the woman. |: Have neighbors complained about the cockroaches? I would move outta town or far away from the woman. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
