Australian Woman Sentenced for Attempting to Sell Human Toes Found in Dog Vomit

A bizarre case involving human remains, animal behavior, and online sales led to an 18-month probation sentence in Victoria, Australia.

  • A former animal shelter worker in Victoria, Australia, discovered human toes regurgitated by two dogs that had consumed parts of their deceased owner.
  • The dogs' owner had died of natural causes before the animals consumed some of his remains, leading to the discovery of human body parts at the shelter.
  • The woman took the toes home, preserved them in formaldehyde, and planned to sell them online for up to 400 Australian dollars.
  • Police were alerted to the plan through an anonymous tip and found the toes along with other unusual items, including an alligator claw and a guinea pig foot, in the woman's home.
  • The woman pleaded guilty and avoided a two-year prison sentence, instead receiving an 18-month probation sentence from a Melbourne court.
