WTF is this gadimai mela. Why is 200000 animals are sacrificied. Why animals are beheaded and this blood are eaten. This is so angering.

Even though I am hindu i just hate this unjustful killing.  You buy and eat what is sufficient to you.  Not go out and kill 200000 animals.

This is sickest thing I have seen so far. People are drinking  warm blood from animals.I don't think religion teach such things.Eating meat and slaughtering animals in the name of God  are completely different. Becoming a vegetration is the best thing  but if one doesn't want to be vegetration then respect animals. They give us milk, cheese, clothers etc. Don't torture them. We need animals for ecosystem.God have mercy. I don't think even Musilm Extremist can beat this. Oh, my God, it almost make me puke. These people are sick. If they don't find animals to suck warm blood, then they might go after humans too.

How can anyone defend these barbaric acts?

Raju, I have also seen that movie twice cause i liked it. 

If you are living in kathmandu, and eat momo a lot, then you will get a chance to eat momo made of the same sacrifices that were done in gadimai. I guess you have read the news that the meat was sold to a contractor who is shipping the meat to kathmandu valley.

anyway, people in kathmandu enjoy the momo of all the sacrificed animals in gadimai.....mind your own business. let them follow their tradition.

I am not defending anything. I am just saying that if you eat meat, you have no moral high ground to bash those people. Double standards is not fair. You can't say you kill them less painfully. That is just wrong. Killing is killing, there is no ifs and buts. Welcome to the food chain.

Birth --> Kill or Herbivorous --> Eat --> Die --> Decompose --> Birth ...so on

Which component do you remove? Where do you fall?

@N
If there are over 200,000 animals being killed, I am pretty sure there are half a million people. Considering, that there is at least 2 person to take 1 animal which I think is a pretty fair number, that will be 400,000 people, now with the buffaloes, I am sure there has to be more than 2 people for each buffalo.
The thing about sacrifice, I agree with you. It is wrong to sacrifice animals or humans for anything.
But for people who actually eat the sacrificed meat and any meat sacrificed or otherwise to complain is not right either. I am assuming here that you do eat meat in dashain ,which is mostly sacrificed, if not, my bad.

Which extremist will win the killing and sucking blood contest?

a. Muslim  extremist

b. Hindu extremist

The real answer is b. I haven't atleast heard Muslim extremist suck warm blood from animals. I only heard that they torture the animals to kill.

These suckers will soon go after human too. They are still living in stone age.

@Cowboys,

Based on assumption, let's assume we exist. Thus, we exist. I'm pretty sure we exist.

Anywas, thanks for proving my point. That's all i wanted to hear that even you are disgusted about  animal sacrifice at Gadimai Mela.

On side note, in the process of knowing each other better (that's what sajha is for), my family does not sacrifice animals to hey mata maha Durge.

thanks for participating.

@N
The only thing I have been saying is: Non Vegetarians have no right to bash the people at gadhimai.
I saw some post from people I know who are not vegetarians and that did not sit well with me, so I called them out.
And to all the non-vegetarian PETA : you are being hypocrites.

Cowboys - 

You just said everything I have been saying in this thread if you go back and see my postings and you took it a step further with your teaser about where you draw the line.
You simply don't know. What you think is humane and moral might be very inhumane and immoral to someone else. You should not judge people, let alone a huge group of people.

I have read all posts in this thread hence my response. You didn't answer my question though. Since ONLY vegans have the right to condemn Gadimai mela and other similar barbarian rituals, can we non-vegans pick on the barbarian acts against animals we don't feed on? 

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.

To all those saying that non-veg have no right to argue against the gadimai babarians, can you please simply answer my this question? Are you saying that any nation that has capital punishment should not condemn some nation's law of 'stoning to death'?

You guys have some very good points. I do not support the killing in Gadhimai. I never did. And some of you guys should join PETA, the school of thoughts match (Animals and humans need the same treatment).
But remember, Killing is killing. Your way of killing is not better or worse than their way of killing. As long as you eat meat, you are all in the same boat. None of you are any better or any worse than those people. Simply saying you are more humane and you kill more humanely does not give you the moral rights to bash someone who kills less humanely than you do.
Now if you all will excuse me, I have to go home and get grilling with some steak and some chicken.
Good Luck.
