First person to turn this into a 'is this loss' meme I will travel to where you live, and when you are at work, on your lunch break, I will go over and fart in your immediate surrounding.

I have a touch of the stupid. Is the implication that the mother ate half of it, or that something else did and she continued protecting it despite it being dead?

I think it's an exercise left to the reader. Probably more likely the second one, as why would she not finish eating it, or eat half and then leave, if it was the first?
