Animal sacrifice banned during Nepal festival
Gadhimai festivalis a month-longHindufestival that is held every five years at the Gadhimai temple ofBariyarpur, inBara District, about 100 miles (160km) south of the capitalKathmanduin southernNepal, near the Indo-Nepal border by mostly bordering Indians and Madheshi people. The event involves the world's largestsacrificial slaughter of animals(approx. 300,000 - 500,000 as of last event)in 2009 includingwater buffaloes, pigs, goats, chicken, rats, and pigeons – with the goal of pleasingGadhimai, thegoddessof power.
Iam a Hindu and no sacred Hindu text be it Gita,upanishads and all other vedas mention about animal sacrifice and the cows andBuffaloes are equivalent to our Mothers.
Pl watch this You tube video and I must caution you its very graphic and disturbing to any one and tears will follow.
Pl join me in this petition to stop this barbaric act and belief system.
With Gratitude to the ones who join me

I have been spending my nights reading through the sacred texts to ensure my arguments against this practice are rooted in our true traditions. It is clear that these offerings have no place in our history and the stories you all have shared in the comments keep me moving forward when the weight of this feels heavy.

Nepal brings shame on the world about how we can misuse trust in animals the cruelty cannot be explained, its things like this that make me wish the world imploded.
Torturing innocent animals is so evil and sadistic, this disgusting tradition needs to STOP!
May GOD-ALMIGHTY save the world's forests and the living beings therein from rampant deforestation and greedy corporations.
Stop. Pler
No place for Barbaric Cruelty in this world - IMMEDIATE BAN!!!
No
Please stop it

I am sorry that I just learned of this...too late for this year. The slaughter has occurred. May next year be different.
