- droopyEyelids 6y agoIf you think this is gruesome, or that it's only other living creatures that get treated this way, I'll point you to King Leopold 2 of Belgium and his treatment of the congo. https://www.amazon.com/King-Leopolds-Ghost-Heroism-Colonial/dp/0618001905 https://www.amazon.com/King-Leopolds-Ghost-Heroism-Colonial/... Warning: this book will probably give you mental trauma.
