This is disgusting and vile and obviously shows how backward this country really is, the tourism of this country should be boycotted. Everyone who goes to Nepal should know how ignorant it is.
It is impossible for 250 butchers to slaughter 20,000 animals in two days, I have seen the pictures they lay half decapitated drowning in their own blood.We can only appeal to their stupidness by telling them that The Goddess Gadhimai was angry at all that blood so she killed two women and a child camping there.
And hope that in five years time there isnt a country called Nepal left on this earth.
If a famine or disease came to them they would deserve it all.

This type of act is happening everywhere, not just in Nepal. Killing of ‘life’ cannot be justified. It doesn’t matter whether you kill an animal, bird or a human being. It doesn’t matter whether you kill for religious sacrifice or to make a juicy steak. I am not a religious freak, but simply an admirer of LIFE. Now…think about it.

The fair has attracted finally a great deal of media attention and from animal welfare groups. It is indeed a thing that belongs to the past, and really the Nepali government needs to filter out these sorts of barbaric institions. Education is key here not just in Nepal but also in India. It’s a shocking display of backward superstitions.

I have no pity for these poor, ignorant and superstitious people. I hope decay and disease results from all the rotting flesh in the streets. No educated person will believe that all this meat will be stored in freezers!!! These people are poor and most of them don’t even own a refrigerator. What will these people say when their people start falling from disease – will they say the underworld spirits need more blood?? Perhaps the underworld spirits will need HUMAN BLOOD???? The world be better off without these horrible people!!! SHAME ON THEM AND PITY FOR THE ANIMALS!
