if this goes on, this will be my worst week to come in animal welfare, have we failed to save innocent animals, I’ve been so upset since I found out about this.
I just can’t believe that this is true. I cherish hindi people, am a buddhist myself, I just can’t understand this.
I know that it won’t be the same for me after Gadhimai, and it will never be again.
I can feel their terror and smell their fear, Have mercey, PLEASE, on my knees, just NO KILL

I’m distressed to note what I read on the Internet. I thought, Hindus are animal lovers and follow ahimsa tatva. It is a shame that in the name of the religion, and some old traditional believes in sacrificing of innocent animals. The Govt. of Nepal has appointed 250 butchers to carry on this heinous act of inhumane killings of animals. I’m disgusted with the attitude of the Govt. of Nepal. Who ever is the head of the Govt. of Nepal has totally ignored the Animal Rights of Nepal Organization appeal to stop this senseless act.
All I can say, this is a shame and an irresponsible act of humans to kill these innocent animals. What rights do we have to kill animals in the name of religion or rituals? Shame on you Mr. Prime minister of Nepal. At least you can prevent future killings by acting now and prevent this atrocious act in the name of rituals. This is nothing but barbaric, and irresponsible act on the part of all human beings of the animal kingdom.
I like this very much.Inhuman activities of people should be stop about killing animals in the name of religion.
