So apparently in Tanzania there are people killing albinos for their body parts to sell to witch doctors. The body parts are used to make potions promising wealth to the drinker. In the past 15 months there have been 45 albinos slaughtered.

Pretty sick, isn't that.. I wonder why nobody seems to be worried about these kinds of things. Those albinos are also people.
