***HOW COME THEY DONT TALK ABOUT THIS IN NEPALs NEWSPAPERS,TV ?  **** The largest traditional animal sacrifice in the world began last weekend in southern Nepal with an estimated 4,000 buffalo, goats, and pigeons slaughtered on Friday alone. The two-day festival, called Gadhimai Mela Festival, takes place at the Gadhimai temple about 100 miles south of Kathmandu. The festival is held every five years, during which hundreds of thousands of animals are killed in the name of the Hindu goddess of power. Devotees believe the ritual will bring them good luck. In 2009, an estimated 350,000 animals were killed. Close to 500,000 animals were expected to be sacrificed this year, despite campaigns to ban the festival. http://www.cnn.com/2014/11/29/...

This is second largest. First largest is in USA in all slaughter houses in all over the US. Only difference is seen or unseen.

dhoti_prasad, killing animals for food is different than killing animals for some BS religion. I don't consider killing animal is bad thing as long as it helps the eco system. Last week a colleague in my workplace asked me about this about this and I felt shame that it's happening in my own country. Nobody is stopping you for killing animals but just don't kill animals in the name of BS some ritual thing.

यी मुजीहरुले  मुस्लिमहरुको धार्मिक पर्व "असुरा" जसमा सानो बच्चाहरुमाथि अत्याचार गर्छन, तिनीहरुको खिलाफमा एक सब्दको बिरोध अहिले सम्म गर्न सकेका छैन ! हिजडाका छाउराहरु हामी हिन्दुहरुलाइ नै टार्गेट गर्छन ! इसाईहरुले यो थ्यांक्सगिभिंगमा ५००००००० (पचास मिल्येंन) टर्की हत्या गरे ! एक दिनको पर्वको लागि ! क्रिसमसमा पनि तेसरी नै हत्या हुन्छ ! तेस्को बारे छाप न ! पेटाले टरकी हत्याको बिरोधमा एउटा साधारण भिडियो बनाएर येन.बि.सीमा एड गर्न खोजे तर इसाईहरुको धार्मिक परम्पराको सेन्तिमेन्टमा चोट हुने भाकोले तिनीहरुले त्यो एड प्रसरान गरेन ! तेस्तो हिपोक्रेसी छ ! तेसैले त्यो रन्डी सी.येन.येनले बरु आफ्नै इसाई धर्मको कुरीतिमा ध्यान दिए उचित हुन्छ !

It needs some positive changes 1) Instead of 5 years await : When ever wanted 7 days a week 365 days. Everyday it will lower the volume. 2) Once the sacrifice is done: you have to take it right away: Bring it where ever you want to but not in the area. Educate people.
