Sad Story Of The World’s Hairiest Family by kingtarget(m): 8:26am On Sep 06, 2015 |
Jesus ‘Chuy’ Aceves and his family suffer untold hardship because they were born hairy.On his way to work at a Mexican building site, he is howled at by strangers who jeer at him, calling him names like ‘satanic beast’, before whipping out their cameras to take pictures of him. This is a normal day in the life of the ‘Wolf Man’ who became a world-famous circus performer whose entire face is covered in thick, black hair. His entire family of 30 are all covered in the same dark fur as him – and cruelly shunned in their home town of Loreto, north-west Mexico, because of it. But Chuy, has now told of how locals tell them to ‘go live in the woods’, slay their pets to get them to leave and ‘cross themselves’ when they walk past – as if they were demons. The children of the ‘hairiest family in the world’ refuse to have more kids for fear they will suffer the same cruelty if they do. Even Chuy’s daughter Karla admits it would be ‘difficult to bring someone like me into the world’. Their suffering has been witnessed by filmmaker Eva Aridjis who spent months filming them for a new, heart-wrenching documentary about their ‘cursed’ lives. ‘Chuy comes and goes from the touring life,’ said Eva, whose documentary ‘Chuy: The Wolf Man’ premieres in Mexico City on September 25 Upon hearing about problems at home, ‘he decided then and there to give it all up’. But since quitting showbusiness, the Wolf Man realised money is harder to come by as a manual labourer. From the age of 12, Chuy then-called Little Wolf and his two cousins spent several years travelling around Mexico, where they were ‘locked up’ and presented to paying crowds as attractions.After almost three decades travelling the world, Chuy discovered his wife was cheating on him with a ‘regular man’ and his daughter Araceli missed him terribly.That was when he decided to give up the circus life and returned home to scratch a living by working in a rubbish dump.He does not regret spending his life as circus performer but having left home to join the circus at 13, Chuy doesn’t have the qualifications to do anything other than fruit picking, building site labouring or waste disposal. ‘He can’t get a decent job due to the huge discrimination he suffers,’ said Eva, ‘He’s currently working in a dumpsite where he spends his evenings burning the town’s garbage for a pittance.’ It’s not just Jesus ‘Chuy’ Aceves who suffers from ‘werewolf syndrome’, his entire family have hair-covered faces and bodies due to a genetic mutation which goes back generations. The family suffers terrible abuse at the hands of the local population where old women ‘cross themselves’ and curse at them when they walk past.‘One of their neighbours, an old woman, has poisoned over twenty of their cats,’ said Eva, who had been shocked by the abuse the family suffered. The women regularly shave their faces, the men prefer to let it grow out. And while the women and children stay within the confines of their shared home, nearly all the men of the family work in circuses and freak-shows.

Now, this ain't funny at all. Still wondering why most of the bizarre human genetic mutations occur among Indians. That self acclaimed most hairy Nigerian lady would turn green with envy once she sees this family. 1 Like |

Scientists please get to work. I believe there will be a solution soon. |
Re: Sad Story Of The World’s Hairiest Family by jayriginal: 11:15am On Sep 10, 2015 |
I think there is the option of laser removal of the hair. If my memory serves me right, the removal is permanent. I think some girls use that for their eyebrows. |

Its despicable the way some humans treat their fellows for being different. But does marrying outside the hairy pool gene not improve the situation for the kids? Just wondering ![]() ![]() ![]() |
