Cannibal Law

Shocked and Disgusted

We hear the phrase the ignorance of law is not an excuse, but what if you crime you did, had no penalty to it or punishment. Crime is considered wrong if their essence are wrong according to the statutory definition.

A shocking and disgusting truth was discovered while I watching news, that we don't have a law to prosecute cannibals in Pakistan. The two brothers who committed this crime in Pakistan were let go free with a fine and were caught again next year committing those exact crimes, they are waiting to be released again because there is no law against the crimes they have committed. This made me think is it the criminal law (Pakistan Penal Code) that's at fault or the people who propose criminal law and had never brought this issue. Its not that this issue never existed in the world, throughout history we can see cannibals around the world.
So, why wasn't this entered in Penal code as crime? Did our government or law makers really thought that this crime will never be committed, that this act is so immoral, that it could never have been expected of us?

Off course the answers is YES. We as humans can never even think of eating another human being. Today in this civilised world, cannibalism can only be performed by people who are mentally ill. I am relieved to hear that High Court Of Lahore (Punjab, Pakistan) has issued the notice to the ministries for strict punishment of this crime. At the same time, I believe careful psychological testing might determine the cause of their act. The criminals should not only be prosecuted but should also be tested and researched upon, to find out what drive them to perform this heinous act. This information can be used to prevent such incidents in future
