We must take this into perspective. Ofcourse activities of poorer people look gross than those of the rich because the rich have resources to do things more cleanly.

However  let's even consider Thanksgiving. Wall Street Journal  estimates 46,000,000 turkeys are consumed by Christians in Thanksgiving compared to the 20,000 bulls killed during this Gadimai Mela.

'Mysansar' has the data as 20,000 bulls which seems more correct than the astronomical amount that is quoted by 'daum'-who started this thread. In the end it seems 'daum' is more interested in spreading christinity than stopping any ills. One example is that he shows the inflated number in numerals as 200,000 while he hides the number of turkeys kills as 48 million. While this may be subconscious on this part let the reader compare apples to apples.
