Hey, I'm not sure how editing wikipedia works exactly, but this weird news stary was brought to my attention; http://www.ananova.com/news/story/sm_3374702.html

If it's real and not a hoax, could it be a real-life case of human hunting? Should real-life cases be edited into the article? 142.12.254.8 (talk) 23:51, 24 June 2009 (UTC) anonymous


 * If the case is well sourced, yes, feel free to add that data to the article. Akhran (talk) 16:59, 25 June 2009 (UTC)

Possible Inclusion of Factual, Historical Instances
I was thinking that this article could be expanded to include other information pertaining to human hunting, outside of modern media, such as possibly a small section on the Spartan Crypteia, and other such examples of human hunting. Ed-dg (talk) 11:54, 13 October 2009 (UTC)

Also what about head-hunting that was practiced in South America?-- —Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.229.18.233 (talk) 02:03, 8 March 2011 (UTC)


 * In fact, when I translate the lemma to German Menschenjagd I would think primarily about historical huntings such as the hunt for slaves in Africa (to be shipped to America) or the hunt for jews by the Einsatztruppen in Poland. Or does the English expression human hunting limits itself to hunts comparable to fox hunts with hounds? --Ziko (talk) 15:39, 15 October 2009 (UTC)

Slaves were taken alive to be sold as labor. The Einsatztruppen were military units operating against a perceived "enemy" population. These were not human hunting in the sense of the article which follows the classic model of The Most Dangerous Game. The topic "human hunting" is primarily about hunting of humans for sport (in real life, the Hansen case and a few other, isolated cases of one or two sadistic personalities who hunted humans for kicks). What is interesting is the urban legend of "hunt clubs" of organized people who hunt for sport, a common trope in literature an film, but where are real life cases? --Naaman Brown (talk) 15:32, 18 July 2012 (UTC)

Urban legend
This page is in Category:Urban legends but the content presented only refers to factual hunting. Clearly there are lots of urban legends about human hunts; some text about them should be included in the article. pburka (talk) 23:57, 16 May 2020 (UTC)
