I suggest then that the Catfish in question be provided the same. That a secure determination has to be made first. Gov/doctors (?) could perform an ultrasound on the catfish’s abdomen to establish factually that there are human remains within.

An animal or fish in the wild is feeding well at a certain location, it returns there regularly. So there should be no problem with losing the Catfish – its likely not leaving the waters. And an ultrasound could be given to its’ abdomen to identify the human within. If the test proves positive, then that catfish could be sentenced, just like its’ mammal cousins. What I would hate to see, is a community going wild and annihilating the species out of in Kali river completely.

As well, there is an amount of responsibility to be taken up by the people for having created this behavior with their human water burials. Bottom line is that they trained the catfish to eat the people/human flesh. It’s unfortunate, its sad, they never would have done so had they known, but the sad fact is that it’s True. Should the community, culture, religion be somehow held accountable to this?

Too easily are non-human species to be cleansed from our Earth. Too many agendas cleanse and have cleansed Humans themselves from the planet… how easy then a catfish?

Unless someone speaks up. Or seconds another’s words, Stands up or supports some, an, any action. And do it again. And again. and again… the song remains the same.

On the other hand: There should be a program set up perhaps by some conservation organization who’s mission fits, to establish a feeding program for the Catfish in the River. The above assumes the article accusations are true, but that’s not necessarily the case.

Something I do know, is that when a wild animal begins eating outside its’ normal diet, or outside its normal feeding grounds or waters – there is a problem with its’ food supply. I’d look at this possibility first to see if there has been a major change in the Kali river? Has there been a commercial fishing initiative begun in the area? A poison leaching into the river for some years killing the smaller fish? A new town?? Something has happened. Something that has removed these Catfishes regular food supply.

If forced to hunger, then we are forced to address it. So are they. They are perhaps looking for other sources. All these years… how many years has this species been in the river? And no attacks until now? I’d say there’s a good _possibility_ their diet has been negatively impacted by some human activity. I might even bet on it.
