DOG SPINNING

I am not posting this footage for sensationistic purposes.

i am posting to prensent what supersition does to the masses.

somehow these people think they are justified in this cruel ritual.

WARING~ DOG LOVERS MAY NOT WANT TO WATCH~

Dog spinning (Bulgarian: тричане на куче(та), trichane na kuche(ta)) is a ritual performed once a year on March 6 to prevent rabies in a village and keep away the bad spirits of springtime.

The practice was stopped in 2005 when the media outside of Bulgaria found out about the ritual and reported it to the world. Animal welfare organizations were outraged by its cruelty and the pressure they put on Bulgaria put an end to the practice.

The mayor said his village restored the tradition because they were looking for hope in the “extreme” bad economy. A recent outbreak of foot and mouth disease has brought the farming town to the brink of despair.

The dog spinning event has pitted the town against animal advocates from all over Bulgaria. Even the Prime Minister, Boyko Borisov has condemned the practice. He has asked the Prosecutor General to take action and called on his government to establish sanctions against the village.

FLOWERS CAN KILL

A drug that eliminates free will and can wipe the memory of its victims is currently being dealt on the streets of Colombia.

The drug is called scopolamine, but is colloquially known as ‘The Devil’s Breath,' and is derived from a particular type of tree common to South America.

Stories surrounding the drug are the stuff of urban legends, with some telling horror stories of how people were raped, forced to empty their bank accounts, and even coerced into giving up an organ.

Deadly drug: Scopolamine is made from the Borrachero tree, which blooms with deceptively beautiful white and yellow flowers

VICE’s Ryan Duffy travelled to the country to find out more about the powerful drug. In two segments, he revealed the shocking culture of another Colombian drug world, interviewing those who deal the drug and those who have fallen victim to it.
