RE: The Gadhimai Festival in Nepal - a particularly awful religious tradition carries on despite ban

in #life4 years ago

Wow, I have no words. Okay, I think we all no better than that, I always have words, but I am a bit speechless to learn about this. In fact I was just getting ready to eat my yogurt for the morning, but my stomach has kind of turned. That is just horrible. I agree, I am not really in any position to question anyone's religion, but there has to be a bit of a line somewhere. You want to sacrifice "a" goat, okay, I can probably handle that. Kill a chicken or a calf a couple times a year and no one is probably going to care too much. This level of brutality is just gross. I'd be interested to know what they do with what is left over, hopefully they at least make use of it and not just throw it all away. And who TF has to clean all of that up? Ugh.
