To defend the culture just because you are from the place with illogical and irrational explanation/comparison is nothing but a reflection of backward mentality. If eating meat is being hypocrite in regards to those sacrifices, then why do they want freedom, democracy (a civilized concept). Why do they drive cars, why wear clothes, why not be naked and live in caves instead. A civilization always prefers to move forward.. Beside all the misery, poverty and the politcial turmoil, this makes a big joke out of Nepal and Nepali.

Of course people kill animals for meat. What makes it different? Few simple, but huge at the same time, type of civilized concept.

1. Understand domesticated meat Vs manufactured meat. The world is better of with manufactured products, of which we are slowly becoming part of. There is just not enough domesticated chicken nor plants in people's backyard to feed the world. It is supply demand business logic, not bloody sacrifice to please a God.

2. There is a DESIGNATED butcher who does the killing under a strict HYGIENE and regulated environment SECLUDED from the public eyes. 3 words to remember from this sentence---DESIGNATED, HYGIENE and SECLUDED. You might say it does not matter? Well it does, if you have lived in a civilized/organized culture.

A young kid witnessing those sacrifices and the blood bath, what exactly do you think it does to him? You think they grow up fine? maybe by your standdard. The rest of the world says it can create a severe psychological effects, which is backed with medical data. Maybe the reason we cannot produce a single honest and peaceful leader, maybe? All those Dashain's bloodshed, maybe?

Mayan civilization sacrificed human beings (kids included) as a part of their culture just a few hundred years ago. However, you do not hear about those practices now. Do you think we should allow them to continue their tradition, why not? What sets the standards...animals are OK but not humans. See, they have accepted the reality and have moved forward.

3. If you think the rest of the world is wrong and that you're right, go ahead. But remember if you ask anybody beside those ignorant bastards, the whole world will denounce such tradition and they have.
Your 2 million (who you think are the right ones) Vs the rest of the world (few billions), you do the math. Remember, majority wins.

4. Learn how to accept your weakness and be open to criticism. Be the change you want see. If you eliminate blood sacrifice, it will not end your culture.

Sorry, no matter what you think, you're simply wrong. PERIOD.
