Gadhimai returns
#1
Sad 
After the last Gadhimai Festival it was hoped that it would be the last. There were regulations and changes that should have been enough.

However not all the regulations were implemented. Because there was no proper follow through by the government,  things have built up to the new festival this year.

It is going to be brutal.

Work has continued to prevent this years massacre. Various activists groups, in particular, Humane Society International, the Federation of Animal Welfare Nepal, Animal Welfare Network Nepal and People For Animals have all worked hard. 
They did many things like radio and online ads, billboards and street theatre. They have encouraged people to take flowers and seeds as an offering and leave the animals behind. 
The hope is to someday have a bloodless festival.

It doesn't look like this is going to be the year of a bloodless Gadhimai. Last time efforts reduced the slaughter greatly. 
It can only be hoped that the numbers will be lower this year.

People are already there with animals and they have every intention of having them killed. 

It seems impossible to think that people in the 21st century still perform animal sacrifice.
