Did anyone on here know about this ritual ? Its the first I had heard of it and wish I never had,how barbaric to kill all those animals , not even for meat from what I can see, just for the sake of some hindu goddess, 200,000 ,utter carnage and unnecessary,imo, some people just don't seem to have any empathy, I cant get my head round it.

I spent 6 months trekking round Nepal 30 years ago and they are the loveliest,kindest and most hard working people I've ever come across. Unfortunately being also amongst the poorest nations of the world means they don't always see animal rights quite the way we do but I would say they don't treat animals badly out of cruelty more of necessity!

"See animal rights the way we do" is kind of funny considering the west mass slaughter alot more animals, the moral highground is kind of disingenuous, just because you eat the animals doesn't make it less cruel for them

The method of killing is hardly similar and we don't kill based on a pathetic superstition. It's in no way comparable

Do you think the fact that you eat the animals gives them some comfort?

Killing animals to eat isn't the same as killing an animal because 'God told me to' imo.
Obviously it's not nice for the animals, but one is for food at least which in my view I see as understandable.

You can be a meat eater and still care for the welfare of animals and not want to be mistreated.

There is no valid or good reason to the animal and taking the moral highground as to what constitutes as a good reason to kill them is hypocritical and makes no difference to the animals who are being killed. If you want to eat meat, eat meat, it tastes good but if you then act like a moral judge on other people who kill animals because you think their reason "isn't as good as yours" then you look foolish imo

But then I don't buy that Vigilante's are just as bad as a cold blooded murderer either (off topic I know) but I do think that the reason why you're doing something is massively important imo (especially if it's an act that could be deemed evil) and the reason why this thread was opened in the first place is the far more evil reason imo, there's absolutely no valid reason to kill the animal in this incident, where as at least people will gain benefits from eating an animal. I understand why people disagree with eating Meat themselves, but to compare us to nutjobs is out of order imo.

Evil to who though? You? But you're not the victim, the animal is so what right do you have to judge it as a culture who also partakes in mass slaughter of animals?
If you were walking home tonight and someone hit you over the back of the head and kidnapped you, you wake up in their basement and they tell you they're going to kill you, would it matter to you if their reason was for a religious sacrifice or because they wanted to eat you? Would you say oh fair enough, if they fancied a bit of mock steak?

And for me I wouldn't want either, I'd rather take the brick. Thankfully Cannibalism is an illegal activity so they're definitely worse morally. It probably helps that it's counted as murder.

When you start talking about morals, vegetarians are not better humans based on the fact they don’t eat meat. Killing an animal for a ritual falls into the same category as killing an animal for sport. |

...only to those who don’t hold the culture/ritual, though...a cultural ritual dating back centuries has a specific meaning to all of those who believe in it...whether we or others believe in it or not or what our feelings are about it...a sport is an entirely different thing, it holds no ritual significance in the same way...I don’t agree with the killing of these buffalo...but, like Niamh...I don’t understand the ‘rating of death/killing/slaughter’...when none are necessary and the result of each is identical to the animal...death...

To me I see Meat eaters as more innocent than Religious nutjobs who kill animals, however I get that (like you pointed out Ammi) that not everyone will see it the same as I do, I've just got to be honest and say that I do find that opinion a bit strange though. I understand people being against eating Meat (as I hope that a lot of people could) I just personally from my own perspective don't see it as quite as evil as other reasons to kill animals.
