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!
