Albino's turn into Good Business in Tanzania.They are sold for £50,000

This is pure man inhumanity to man.How can a sane person think that an albino will bring luck.Do they have luck themselves talk more of giving another person luck.Thank God this is not happening in Nigeria i would have lost a good friend who is an Albino because i know of some people that would sale him immediately and use the money to drink Gulder because he likes Gulder so much.

According to a Report by Daily Mail Tanzanians are making big bucks from Albino's,Picture credit Tanzania Universal Initiative Foundation.

"Tanzania's albinos are being 'hunted down like animals' as greed for money and influence drives families to turn on their own loved ones in a trade allegedly fuelled by some of the country's most powerful people.

It is believed albino body parts will bring a person wealth, or luck - and for that, people are willing to pay as much as $3,000 or $4,000 for a limb, or as much as $75,000 - about £50,000 - for the 'full set', a whole body.

People with albinism are regularly attacked by people who chop their limbs off - an act which either leaves them severely mutilated, or dead.

Albinism, a hereditary genetic condition which causes a total absence of pigmentation in the skin, hair and eyes, affects one Tanzanian in 1,400, often as a result of inbreeding in remote and rural communities, experts say."
