    Default Hindu sacrifice of 250,000 animals + Video (Graphic)

    Cheers and protests as thousands of buffalo are decapitated at start of festival in Nepal honouring Hindu goddess Gadhimai

    The world's biggest animal sacrifice began in Nepal today with the killing of the first of more than 250,000 animals as part of a Hindu festival in the village of Bariyapur, near the border with India.

    The event, which happens every five years, began with the decapitation of thousands of buffalo, killed in honour of Gadhimai, a Hindu goddess of power.

    With up to a million worshippers on the roads near the festival grounds, this year's fair seems more popular than ever, despite vocal protests from animals rights groups who have called for it to be banned. "It is the traditional way, " explained 45-year old Manoj Shah, a Nepali driver who has been attending the event since he was six, "If we want anything, and we come here with an offering to the goddess, within five years all our dreams will be fulfilled." .

    Crowds thronged the roads and camped out in the open, wrapped in blankets against the cool mist. The festivities included a ferris wheel, fortune-telling robots and stalls broadcasting music and offering tea and sugary snacks.

    As dawn broke, the fair officially opened with the sacrifice of two rats, two pigeons, a pig, a lamb and a rooster in the main temple, to cheers of "Long live Gadhimai" from spectators pushing against each other for a better view.

    In the main event, 250 appointed residents with traditional kukri knives began their task of decapitating more than 10,000 buffalo in a dusty enclosure guarded by high walls and armed police.

    Frightened calves galloped around in vain as the men, wearing red bandanas and armbands, pursued them and chopped off their heads. Banned from entering the animal pen, hundreds of visitors scrambled up the three-metre walls to catch a glimpse of the carnage.

    The dead beasts will be sold to companies who will profit from the sale of the meat, bones and hide. Organisers will funnel the proceeds into development of the area, including the temple upkeep.

    On the eve of the event, protesters made a final plea to organisers by cracking open coconuts in a nearby temple as a symbolic sacrifice. "It is cruel and inhumane. We've always been a superstitious country, but I don't think sacrifice has to be part of the Hindu religion," said the protest organiser, Pramada Shah.

    The campaign has the support of the French actor Brigitte Bardot, who has petitioned the Nepalese prime minister, Madhav Kumar Nepal, about the issue. But the government, which donated £36,500 to the event, has shown no sign of discontinuing the centuries-old tradition. An attempt by the previous government to cut the budget for animal sacrifice provoked street protests.

    Chandan Dev Chaudhary, a Hindu priest, said he was pleased with the festival's high turnout and insisted tradition had to be kept. "The goddess needs blood," he said. "Then that person can make his wishes come true."
    "Free, do you call yourself? Then I would hear your ruling thought, and not merely that you have escaped from a yoke. Are you one of those who had the right to escape from a yoke? Many a one has cast away his last worth when he has cast away his servitude. Free from what? What does that matter to Zarathustra! But your fiery eyes should tell me: free for what?" - Thus Spoke Zarathustra

    Well this is a drop on a burning stove...

    Here in the Netherlands loads of sheep and goats are sacrificed in name of the Muslim religion.

    And were not talking about a mere 25.000...

    And Westerners stand above all this, I see. Everyone is very ahimsa in the West... Noone kills animals. LOL. We just sacrifice our own children, which is much better than what all these uncivilised folks are up to. :mmmm:

    Westeners kill to eat, plain and simple...

    Some other cultures (like muslims) kill animals in act of religion. I see a big difference between the two.
    Specially how the animal is killed.

    As much as i dislike religion, i have to disagree - they are eaten anyway in the end, so there is no difference whatsoever.

    Specially how the animal is killed.
    How do the wild animals kill their prey? Do you think they stun it or smth?

    Oh really?

    I didn't know muslims made cow and pig food out the remains. Westerners do just that. Almost no part of the animal is not used.
    Ofcourse westerners kill more than needed, no where did I say otherwise.
    But in the end its all for food.

    We aren't discussing kills amongst wild animals and apart from that, an animal will make a kill swift and clean.

    A tiger or wolf for instance will attack and snap the neck or throat a soon as possible. Thats because it hungry and its not for the pleasure of the kill nor killing for your god.

    In the muslim religion its all about the way of the kill. No anastetic, draining the blood slowly, cutting the meat whilest the animal is gasping for its last breath.

    Quite, I don’t agree with sacrificing animals….humans, now there’s an idea, a few hung in the name of Odin, fashion a spear and all…..hmmm.

    "The goddess needs blood,"

    Superstition is a senseless fear of God; religion, the pious worship of God.
    Cicero
    I believe that legends and myth are largely made of
    “truth”, and indeed present aspects of it that can only be received in this mode; and long ago certain truths and modes of this kind were discovered and must always reappear.

    J.R.R. Tolkien

    Indeed it might be a basic characteristic of existence that those who would know it completely would perish, in which case the strength of a spirit should be measured according to how much of the “truth” one could still barely endure-or to put it more clearly, to what degree one would require it to be thinned down, shrouded, sweetened, blunted, falsified.
    Nietzsche

    To God everything is beautiful, good, and just; humans, however, think some things are unjust and others just.
    Heraclitus
