Last week, another human foot washed ashore near Sooke, Canada, on Vancouver Island — the 13th foot found in British Columbia in the last decade.
Human feet have also had a tendency to wash ashore in Washington state.
The most recent foot (with lower leg bones tibia and fibula attached) was encountered by a man walking his dogs in the town of Jordan River, the CBC reports.
The man picked up the foot and took it home before calling police. For the record, the authorities say, if you find a foot on the shore, you should call the authorities and they'll retrieve it — no need to hand-carry the foot home.
You might have some questions about why Canadian police would be calmly advising citizens of proper foot-spotting protocol.
Basically, feet washing up in the Pacific Northwest — while not an everyday occurrence — is not particularly unusual, let alone a sign of something sinister.

Weird that they think it's Ok.
ReplyDeleteSo what's the problem? They are washed and clean, aren't they? If they were dirty and stinky then that would be a problem.
ReplyDeleteOur shoes are the toughest articles of clothing.High top athletic shoes would be nearly impossible for a crab or predatory fish to bite through,and feet are bony to boot.In my opinion,gross as it may sound,everything that can be accessed and eaten is eaten,leaving that which cannot be accessed and eaten.
