This Woman Who Breeds And Lives With 100,000 Cockroaches and Calls Them Her Children Is My Least Favorite Person On Earth

Yahoo – A 37-year-old woman in China shares her countryside home with the estimated 100,000 cockroaches she breeds. The South China Morning Post reports that Yuan Meixia cares for the roaches that she eventually sells to a pharmaceutical company, which uses the bugs for medicines. “These are all my children, my babies,” Yuan told the Southern Metropolis News. The insect breeder resides at a separate home in Siqian county but visits the breeding house, in the Linbian village, every day. Yuan, a pharmacy employee, was inspired to raise roaches after seeing a China Central Television program that aired last year. “I saw people raise this kind of cockroach in Anhui,” she said. “They said it can be food and also can be medicine…So I took tens of thousands of yuan to learn [how to breed them] for a week and spent more than 10,000 yuan ($1,600) to buy 20 kg (44 lbs) of live cockroaches.” The breeding house is equipped with zippered silk nets in the place of doors and cement seals any hole where the insects can possibly escape. Yuan maintains a temperate environment for the roaches with a gas stove used during the winter and by sprinkling water on the walls during the warm months. The roaches are mostly Palmetto bugs, which are a large winged variety common in the U.S. The bug breeder believes that, “Dried Palmetto bugs can act as anti-cancer drugs.” While she has no scientific studies for that belief, researchers at Anhui Medical University have written, “The Palmetto bug and its extracts can protect liver functions when [the natural protein Concanavalin A] caused acute immunity hepatic injury among mice.” The bugs are not used in traditional Chinese medicine, but are reportedly used in many folk recipes.

Seriously, fuck this woman. If there is anyone I hate, it’s her. I hate her with the power of 1,000 cunt punts. There is absolutely no reason to keep cockroaches alive. If there is one thing every single human being on Earth, Mars, and Neptune agrees on, it’s that cockroaches are the scum of the universe. They are worse than cab drivers, worse than occupy Wall Street protesters typing away on their iPhones, and worse than kids who face fuck a fish. Cockroaches are demonic good for nothing assholes whose only point of life is to fuck your shit up. And they are superhuman. The dickheads just don’t die. Refuse to die. You can drown them and they’ll just hold their breath while giving you the finger the entire time. So her purposely keeping them alive grinds my gears. She’s just perpetuating the problem for a quick buck. Selfish. She makes sweatshop owners look like Mother Theresa. I hope someone burns down her house then burns down her burnt down house.
