Khokana festival is held every year in August, the day after Gai Jatra. In the festival, a 4-6 month old innocent little female goat is thrown alive in a pond close to Rudrayani temple in Khokana, a village in the south of Kathmandu Valley. Nine young men enter the pond and start to tear the goat apart by bare hands and by mouth by biting the poor little one grasping its legs, ears, genitals, its hoof and tail which leads to slow and painful death. It is sadistic process to the height of extremity. The process of the ritual is actually a very long one in which the goat suffers for at least 40 minutes before she gives up slowly and slowly with extreme pain and suffering. The one who manages to kill the goat is the ‘hero’ and leads the Shinkali dance which is held afterwards.
August is coming soon. So, we must act soon to aware the people of Khokana to stop killing goats in a cruelest manner. Please sign the given petitions to help in stopping the animal sacrifice in coming Khokana festival:

I remember a thread few weeks back who was saying that we are better than the Chinese since we do not eat dog. Here is your answer to 'Holier than thou' pride. We have some gruesome culture. Also take into account of the 1000 of buffalo sacrifice festival (Gaadima??). Sick and barbararic culture. Just watch, somebody is going to write something to defend this practice calling it pride and culture.

Hinduism is full of evil festivals. The true answer for peace is Christianity. Jesus is the answer for all our sorrows. He is the answer for everything. We are living in the last days of the Earth History.Many things may come against Jesus Christ.Satan is going to deceived all people those who have weak faith in Jesus.This is True that Jesus Christ is died for the human race. There is no other name has given under the sun to give salvation.Salvation comes through only Jesus Christ.This is a right time to repent and accept Jesus Christ as personal savior.Jesus Christ is final destination of Human being.Hurry up ,Time is near.

of course let me be the devils advocate. if you are total vegetarian I totally agree your concern but if you meat loving i didn't kill tho so i'm better person, you're a total hypocrite to criticize any cultural activities. This argument leads essentially to - "my culture is better than yours " argument. and white people are not always righteous. look above what paramatma spewing ass of jesus already.

Dear Paramatma user,
Christianity also has its own set of misguided dogmas. For example I got the following from online bible which says that animals have no soul and that man has absolute power over animals:
And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. Genesis 1:26

Why bring religion here? Be careful of people in disguise. People like Paramatma who is not a Christian is actually the opposite. There are plenty of people like him here on sajha who will post random religious quotes to agitate the crowd to hate Christianity. Be careful of people's agenda.
