exactly samsara, bbc did this story to shock westerners for their own benefit knowing we sacrifice goats every dashain ( no shock value here). Now this has become bad business move in the eye of Fortune making world one more time to convince that nepali don't repair their mechanical devices but only pray god  for help running It's airline's  total  failure I agree that but what to say when follew nepali join the westerners (not knowing the whole) voice knowing clearly what goes around nepal, treating  this practice like it was imported from some voodo african countries. I'm not supporting/defying the practicie itself but to me the issue of ignorance is the biggest part of this news and bbc has suceeded to make most of it by twisting the fact. And when some nepali are ashamed by this news this just baffles me how quickly they have forgotten who they were before. I really don't blame those foreigners fot not buying the ticket, shocking news sells faster in this world but what next for nepali people, give up to worship of stone god, dog,crow,bull or the whole culture of dashain and other to appease these whites, PETA and born again nepalese ?
