They did it to prevent hand cancer and hand infections, just like Americans with foreskin.

Some matters age worse than others.

That kinda makes sense.

>I elect to chop my son's foreskin off!
>Why? Because it is a pain to wash properly!

>I elect to chop my slave's hands off!
>Why? Because they are a pain to wash properly!

Leopoldland =/= Belgium

>what they did was torture!

PURGE THE BELGIUM

>Capital eschews no profit, or very small profit, just as Nature was formerly said to abhor a vacuum. With adequate profit, capital is very bold. A certain 10 per cent. will ensure its employment anywhere; 20 per cent. certain will produce eagerness; 50 per cent., positive audacity; 100 per cent. will make it ready to trample on all human laws; 300 per cent., and there is not a crime at which it will scruple, nor a risk it will not run, even to the chance of its owner being hanged. If turbulence and strife will bring a profit, it will freely encourage both. Smuggling and the slave-trade have amply proved all that is here stated
