I have no knowledge of the family, but when people get hungry enough, they'll eat anything. Especially large birds. Poverty makes people desperate.

However, as I said: I have no idea whether these were desperate poor people (of which there are many in the US) or just unconscionable asshole fucks (of which there are almost as many).

Edit: typos. I was not drunk, despite the many errors.
