Thousands Of Animals Have Been Saved In Nepal As Mass Slaughter Is Cancelled

by The Daily Eye Team August 3 2015, 3:20 pm Estimated Reading Time: 0 mins, 39 secs

A festival in Nepal celebrating the world’s largest animal sacrifice was canceled on Tuesday in a landmark victory for activists. The Gadhimai Temple Trust said the event in Bara district, which claims the lives of hundreds of thousands of buffalo, goats, and birds and attracts hundreds of thousands of worshippers, has now been cancelled “indefinitely.” In a statement, Gadhimai Temple Trust Chairman, Mr Ram Chandra Shah, said: “The time has come to transform an old tradition. The time has come to replace killing and violence with peaceful worship and celebration.” “With your help, we can ensure Gadhimai 2019 is free from bloodshed. Moreover, we can ensure Gadhimai 2019 is a momentous celebration of life,” he added.

Graduating from St Xaviers College to my Masters in English from Calcutta University to my B.ed from Loreto College to teaching English, life has always been a frenzy with a pandora's box of emotions tucked away in the closed chambers of my heart because entertaining them required some pause in the otherwise busy lives and that was an impossible task even if I were granted a boon of several extra hours during the day. .

To remember the past and recreate the reality that once existed with words is a privilege I have these days. This uncanny pause has its benefits too.
