Cannibalism is perhaps the ultimate cultural taboo. There are many reasons why humans partake in this practice; for cultural purposes, for survival or even for pleasure. Be clear: I do not condone or in any way; endorse what is contained in the following accounts. Read at your own risk.
同類相食也許是人類文化的最高禁忌。導致食人的原因有多種：為了文化目的、為了生存、或是為了純粹的“享樂”。需要說明的是，制作該榜并非代表我對下述食人案的容忍或任何程度的推崇，也請觀者本著對自己負責的態度讀它。
10.Alferd Packer
10.阿爾弗雷德·帕克
Packer was an American gold prospector and convicted cannibal. On February 9th 1874, he left with 5 others for an expedition in the Colorado mountains. Two months later Packer returned from the expedition alone. When questioned of the whereabouts of the men that had been with him, Packer said that he killed them in self defense and was forced to eat their remains in order to survive the elements. His story was not believed and he soon after signed two separate confessions. Packer was given a 40 year sentence, at that time the longest communal sentence in United States history. Amazingly he was granted parole because sufficient doubt remained about his innocence.
帕克是一名美國金礦勘探者及食人犯。1874年2月9日他同五人赴科羅拉多山區考察，兩個月后只身而返。當被問及同行五人的去向時，帕克說他為了自衛不得不殺死他們，并靠尸體充饑。這種解釋沒有得到采信，不久他簽下兩份獨立供詞。帕克被有期判徒刑40年，這是當時美國歷史上最長的社區服刑。戲劇性的是他被準予假釋，因為許多人相信他的清白。
9.Albert Fish
9.阿爾伯特·菲什
Albert Fish was a true life monster in every sense of the word. He was sadistic, delusional and worst of all he received gratification from his repulsive acts. Besides being an admitted serial killer and cannibal, he was also a rampant pedophile and a deviant. Fish kidnapped, murdered, and consumed a 10 year old girl from Manhattan. Six years later Fish taunted the innocent girl’s family by sending a letter to them graphically detailing his crime and the pleasure he received committing it. The letter was traced back to him and he was arrested and convicted. Justice would be served on January 16, 1936 as Fish was executed at the Sing Sing Correctional Facility in upstate New York.
阿爾伯特·菲什，究其一生就是個不折不扣的真惡魔。他殘酷、妄想，并且更糟糕的是，從令人惡心的行為中得到歡愉。除了連環殺人犯和食人魔，他還是個變態、猖狂的戀童癖者。菲什綁架、謀殺并吃掉一名來自曼哈頓的10歲女孩。6年后他給女孩家屬寫信嘲笑他們，并附圖詳細展示作案過程、表露犯罪的快意。警方通過信件追蹤查到菲什的住址，將他逮捕送審。1936年1月16日，菲什在紐約新新監獄被處刑，正義得到伸張。
8.Revolutionary United Front
8.革命聯合陣線
RUF was a revolutionary group based in Sierra Leone in Western Africa. By the late 1990’s they had been mired in a long bloody campaign to topple the central government. These insurgents terrorized rural Sierra Leone in an effort to control the nations diamond mines. Aided by factions of the National Patriotic Front of Liberia, these groups committed horrific atrocities which included forcing children to become soldiers, amputations of limbs and cannibalism of enemies, including peacekeepers and United Nations personnel. Their motives for eating their enemies were to receive “strength” from eating human flesh and as a tool for intimidation. The exact number of victims is unknown.
RUF 是成立于西非塞拉里昂的革命組織。90年代末他們陷入一場旨在推翻中央政府的血腥持久戰。為控制鉆石礦，叛亂者在塞拉里昂農村地區實行恐怖統治。在利比里亞全國愛國陣線的協助下，叛亂組織實施了可怕的暴行，包括強征童兵、將人肢解、食敵人肉（一些維和士兵及聯合國員工也成為犧牲品）。其食人動機是從人肉中吸取“能量”，同時達到恐怖威嚇的效果。目前受害者確切數字無法得知。
