Signifigance of the Organs and Their Removal

[Wickerman]

I think the JtR removed the organs just for sport.

But not the kind of 'thing' just anybody could do, in the dark, in the time available.

Organs

Afternoon all,

Hunting trophies, perhaps, related to the "blooding" of new fox-hunters - see http://www.icons.org.uk/theicons/col...nting-finished.

As Jack only killed women, I think you can surmise that the removal of uteri signified a hatred of women especially as mothers. Obviously both men and women have kidneys, perhaps he really had progressed to cannibalism - animal kidneys and hearts are eaten.

As for speed and working in the dark, I think speed in despatching animals was praised. My step-grandmother was much admired among the farming community for her ability to kill, pluck and draw (take out the insides of) a chicken in under four minutes. Not something I would care to emulate, I hasten to say.

Gruesomely yours,
