Nepal Dashain festival (sacrificing goats/sheep)

[Guest guest]

Hi everybody,

 

here's an interesting link - from the experiences of a German volunteer to

Nepal.

It includes a paragraph about the sacrificing/butchering of goats/sheep.

 

(IMAGE) " During Dashain festival, every familiy, every house prides itself with

having a goat

as special meal. Before butchering it, it usually lives a short while with the

people

who were going to eat it. We had a really cute one even with us in the home. The

next day I was up at the rooftop for morning tea (6.30 a.m.!), it was no

more... "
