Do they eat them?
Excerpts:
“People have deep faith in the goddess and they believe that sacrificing animals will bring them good luck and prosperity for their families,” said Mangal Chaudhary Tharu, a priest at the Gadhimai temple, according to Sky News.

More than 200,000 buffaloes, goats, chickens and pigeons will be killed Tuesday and Wednesday at the temple in the jungles of Bara district, about 100 miles south of Katmandu, to honor the Hindu goddess Gadhimai.
“Thousands of terrified buffaloes will have their heads cut off by drunken devotees,” said Bardot, according to Sky News.

HOW BARBARIC!
Hey Bardot, slaughtering more babies is OK though, right?
i wonder how many cows/chicken/pig did china slaughter today, with 1.5 billion ppl to feed
I notice that here in the States the Grand Alliance of the Oppressed still contains nary a hint of disharmony, however.
I wonder what the West Coast freaks who embrace Eastern religions think of this. LOL!!!!
Fire up the grill!
Are they going to eat them all ???
Then its not barbaric...
its Barbecue...
Please forgive my ignorance here, but . . .
I thought Hindus believe that their gods inhabit animals and that they consider them diety, and that’s why they don’t eat them, even to the point of losing harvested grain to rats.
If Hindus worship cows, how do they justify animal sacrifice?
Seems to be a disconnect here, and more than a little hypocrisy.
Or maybe it’s just that I don’t understand.
Hmmm. Animal sacrifice. A belief that you’re eating magic animals, which will then protect you.
Yes, I can see why Christianity is the religion of choice for mocking in the media. All the other religions are too logical to be good candidates for derision.
Lets start a fundraiser to purchase tickets for all members of PETA to go over their and protest against these “barbaric” practices. One way, of course. Hopefully, the Hindus will agree that humans and animals are equal and sacrifice the PETA people, too.
Down here in Texas, we call it a "Tailgate Party". We don't do pigeons, though. We pretty much limit the BBQ to beef, chicken, and pork.
So they slaughter animals and eat them, but do so at a temple instead of a slaughterhouse. What’s the big deal.
These animal rights activists, who no doubt are also global warmists, would prefer us to just get rid of all these animals, instead of raising the, feeding them, giving them a good life, and then slaughtering and eating them.
Would animals have more “rights” if you just got rid of most of the flocks and herds? Do slaughtered birds and animals have a worse end than animals in the wild who die of cold and starvation?
200,000 animals killed for a Hindu ritual. That’s about 2.8 million fewer than what the HSUS kills a year for no reason at all other than they can’t adopt them out and they don’t wish to spend any more money on them.
CELEBRATE DIVERSITY.
