A mass animal sacrifice takes place every five years in Bariyarpur village in Nepal. BARIYARPUR, NEPAL -- Thousands of Hindu devotees gathered in southern Nepal on Monday ahead of a festival believed to be the world's biggest ritual animal slaughter, despite court orders and calls by animal activists to end the event.
Buffaloes were corralled into holding pens as worshippers slept and cooked along the road to the temple. Unlicensed traders and pilgrims who cross the border between India and Nepal are responsible for supplying most of the animals, with scores seized at crossings by Indian security officials and volunteers.
"The officials have let their personal beliefs rule over the court orders, they did not do enough to discourage the slaughters," animal rights activist Manoj Gautam said.

Look at us westerners with our slaughterhouse practices calling others ' barbaric '
This takes place once every 5 years.... I want to know how many ,pigs, cows, horses, goats, sheep, chickens, geese, ducks and turkeys, are slaughtered in one year in western countries? I'm thinking MORE than 200,000.00 You know they are vegetarians other than this right?
Sick disgusting
😡 where’s the dislike button

Can’t be much bigger than American thanksgiving turkey
Happens in NYC every year. Crates of chickens the orthodox Jews slaughter inhumanely. Blood everywhere. It is sickening. And, the birds aren't eaten.
Can’t they just sacrifice themselves? Please!!
Is it sensible or intelligent ... to preach belief in competing religions - that nobody can prove and against all the evidence?
Just don’t bring this ritual to Canada, ever. Please!
Look how lovely that water is. All hanging out like it is a beach in Cuba.
