Just saw a disturbing picture of a devilish persona with his dagger in the air moments before slaying a small buffalo in so called the greatest Gadimai Mela. The scene around was no more than a battle field with detached heads scattered in pool of blood. I cant stop wondering how prosperous, how wealthy and contended the butcher would be succeeding in killing thousands of innocent animals. Nepalese are in fact, sheepish in nature. I had once read a story about a herd of sheep crossing a bridge. One of those falls into the river and the colleagues follow by no matter what lies at front- the inevitable death.
I have always advocated against slaughtering of animals in the name of sacrifice viewed at an orthodox standpoint. Nepal may be one of the few countries with innumerable temples and deities. Conserving and preserving them is one part but such practices are no more than blind beliefs. I always believed that devotion to Gods is nothing if it is not based on noble thoughts. Those folks are only sheep in lambs clothing as they never practice what they preach. Its just like: Fool to others, to himself a sage. But as I often believe-A big world, millions of characters with billions of beliefs. This is only a tiny anecdote while thousands of such malpractices are rampant throughout.
