(Bringing this back again)

One after another, 30 thousand animals, including water buffaloes, goats,

chicken, and pigeons were slaughtered during a single festival named ‘Gadhimai festival’ at the Gadhimai Temple region in Bara district of Nepal in 2019. If that figure shocks you, hold on. I have even more dreadful facts to make you see how inhumane a human can be. 500 thousand and 200 thousand animals were respectively slaughtered brutally in 2009 and 2005 in the same Gadhimai festival within the last two days of the one-month festival. Hundreds of butchers gather with curved knives willing to decapitate water buffalo and several other animals from

rats to goats. After continuous 6 to 7 hours of slaughtering, the butchers emerge from the arena with blood-soaked hands and feet. “It’s always fun to behead animals,” the butchers say barbarically. What in the world can be more inhumane than this? They have no compassion, no spirituality. The only thing they have is blind faith in a superstitious belief that slaughtering animals will bring good fortune in their lives and fulfill their wishes if they promise to offer animals to the temple.

Does this have any logical base? A big ‘NO’.

To this day, this ‘world’s biggest animal sacrifice festival’ is celebrated by the Bihari people and some people of southern Nepal. Despite security patrols along Nepal’s porous border with India, dozens of trucks arrive in town carrying animals shriveled from dehydration and lack of food. People of all ages and different walks of life gather together once in 5 years in Bariyapur of Bara district to attend this carnival.

The ways to stop thousands of these kinds of ongoing brutal acts is to create a sense of compassion in the hearts of people and aware them for

not believing in these kinds of illogical practices and traditions and strict

implementation of laws against animal rights’ violations and global unification of like-minded people for animal rights and freedom.

So let's humanize the soulless humans for a better planet we all crave to live in.

Let's create awareness!
