Another cruelest festival of Nepal on its way:

Khokana festival is held every year in August, the day after Gai Jatra. In the festival, a 4-6 month old innocent little female goat is thrown alive in a pond close to Rudrayani temple in Khokana, a village in the south of Kathmandu Valley. Nine young men enter the pond and start to tear the goat apart by bare hands and by mouth by biting the poor little one grasping its legs, ears, genitals, its hoof and tail which leads to slow and painful death. It is sadistic process to the height of extremity. The process of the ritual is actually a very long one in which the goat suffers for at least 40 minutes before she gives up slowly and slowly with extreme pain and suffering. The one who manages to kill the goat is the ‘hero’ and leads the Shinkali dance which is held afterwards.

August is coming soon. So, we must act soon to aware the people of Khokana to stop killing goats in a cruelest manner. Please sign the given petitions to help in stopping the animal sacrifice in coming Khokana festival:
