These prices make no sense... I don't believe it.

Supposedly these people are being sold in Turkey? The cost of living in Turkey is only 40% lower than in the US.

So feeding these products for a few days would kills all your profit. You'd be much better off selling drugs or something that doesn't need to consume resources. Hell, just the storage space would be a waste.

Why go through the hassle of kidnapping a person, housing/feeding it, finding a buyer, transporting 40/150lbs of struggling meat and risking being caught or attacked when you can just sell an ounce of weed and make more money? Steal a pig, they'll sell for more at a butcher shop.

A decent reporter would buy a slave and make sure it's legit. Best case scenario (worst case?) It's legit and you've just saved a life.

That's a much better written article with more research and context. But they still didn't investigate the legitimacy of the claim at all.
