Cannibalism, Brazil. Engraving by Theodor de Bry for Hans Staden's account of his 1557 captivity.
Cannies, or cannibalism (from Caníbales, the Spanish name for the Caribs, a West Indies tribe that formerly practiced cannibalism) was the act or practice of humans eating the flesh or internal organs of other human beings.
It is also called anthropophagy. A person who practices cannibalism is called a cannibal. The expression "cannibalism" has been extended into zoology to mean one individual of a species consuming all or part of another individual of the same species as food, including sexual cannibalism.
Deathlands[]
Cannies were found throughout the Deathlands, and were often devious, and violent in earning their meals.
