Gadimai Mela, (Hindu Festival) happens ones every five year, its famous(notorious) for mass-animal sacrifice(to please Hindu Goddess of Power), it is estimated around 200,000 animals (including White Rats, Pigeons, Roosters, Goats and Buffaloes) gets killed in this festival. This festival can be compared (at least i'll compare in intensity of sacrifices is concerned) as Thanksgiving in US (~45 million Turkeys will be killed[Source:PETA]) and Muslim festival of Id-ul-Adha or Bakr-Id(Festival of Sacrifice, where animals gets sacrificed). [Please pardon my ignorance/blog space, about other sacrificing rituals around the world]. More Continued @ www.sajilonepal.com

it is not something I like, but it is certainly not only culture on this earth which kills the animal en masse! in that respect you are damn right! many of "meat eaters" in this respect are sheer hypocrites. and at this stage, people these days back in nepal, blame Hinduism for everything and for them this is another opportunity. No body talks how Tibetan/ thakali (buddhist) community spend their nighttime in casino, riding prado, pajero and so on...no body bothers them eating large steak/beef ribs in 5 star hotel yeah..poor fella " madeshi hindu" in particular, following their culture (good or bad) does it matter?? that much when killing of 13k innocent people does not get that much attention as much as gadimai mela..what a hypocrisy... stop BS!

Lahure Kancha, your cartoon does not reflect the reality. I think it is the other way. I am sick and tired of liberal media targeting christianity as if they are the greatest enemy. When have you seen the media decrying other religion, they do not have the guts to do the same with islam, or jews or any other religion for that matter, except christianity. As for shantipriya, if I find the sacrificial ritual at gadhimai Mela, barbaric, how does that make me hypocrites ? And if I have money and I decide to spend it in casinos and beef steak, it is non of your business. I don't dictate how you can spend your money or how you can live your life.
