Breakdown
The claim that human meat is being sold openly in markets is false. Reference 1 provides expert analysis from a forensic anthropologist who states that the meat in the video displays characteristics that distinguish it from human leg.
The same reference identifies tags on the packaging that read "PAKISTAN BEEF SHLDR" and "MUTTON". The original uploader of the video also titled a related video "this beef leg".
While the video is claimed to be from Dubai and shows a leg displayed in a showroom, the meat itself is identified as animal flesh, not human. The claim that the meat is from a Pakistani man is likely a misinterpretation of a salesperson's response in the video.
The 'sign of the end times' is a subjective and unfalsifiable claim. [1][2][3]
