Naked Woman inside Horse Corpse

    After caring for a 32-year-old horse in declining health, Elizabeth Herrick and her boyfriend Joshua Washburn put it down with a single gunshot from a large calibre rifle.
    What they did next has sparked "extreme emotional reactions," and even death threats.
    "People are shocked ... horrified. It's extremely shocking," Washington County Sgt. Dave Thompson told The Huffington Post.
    Once the couple shot and gutted the horse, 21-year-old Elizabeth took off her clothing, climbed inside the carcass and took photos. After posting them online, the couple was met with an avalanche of criticism that lead to a police investigation for animal cruelty.
    As well as photos of Elizabeth inside the horse's body, there are many others, one of which appears to depict the couple posing with the animal's heart.
    The couple's explanation for the photos -- and later eating the animal? According to authorities at the department, the pair wanted to feel "one with the horse" and nature.

    "This is definitely number one on the oddity list," Thompson said. "It's like nothing I've ever seen before."
    According to the incident report obtained by The Huffington Post, detectives ruled no charges would be filed against the pair since nothing they did is technically illegal in the state of Oregon.
    "The fact that this woman crawled into the horse between killing and eating does not constitute a crime," Thompson said.
    "If they had killed the horse just for the purpose of taking the photographs, then we would have had a case for animal cruelty," he added
    Elizabeth's mother told KOIN that since the incident, they have received death threats and "hostile contact" from people countrywide, accusing Herrick of everything from Satan worship to perversion.
    According to Thompson, both Joshua and Elizabeth have currently left the state temporarily. While there are strict U.S. laws against desecration of human bodies, actions with animal bodies have little to no regulation.

    It was obviously a matter of survival.

    This may smell bad, kid, but it'll keep you warm until I get the shelter up...
    Ugh. And I thought they smelled bad on the *outside*.

    I dont know how weirdos can even contemplate this kind of sick s**t. If only the stupid freak had caught some horrible infection.


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,406 ✭✭✭Pompey Magnus


    Reminds me of the episode where Bear Grylls cut open a dead camel and hollowed it out so he could use its carcass as a shelter to sleep inside, I don't remember any outcry about that.

    On Saturdays in Temple Bar market, there's a Horse Burger stall. Last week I was gonna buy one but just couldn't bring myself to do it. I tried to put on a Tony Montana accent and kept saying to myself: "I'm so hungry I could eat a horse" and even replied to myself in a Frank Lopez accent in return and said: "Good, they gonna cook you a horse!". "I'll eat it" I said to myself as I stood there in the rain drawing strange looks from passing folk. It was no good though, I couldn't do it. Kept thinking of Lochsong and how much that horse meant to me. What's the thread about again.
