New Delhi: People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) on Thursday

appealed to the Nepal government to abolish execution of animals during

Nepal's November festival of Gadimai.

 

 

 

According to PETA, devotees sacrifice thousands of animals, including 6,000

young male buffaloes, after every five years in the month of Kartik

(November) as part of celebration for Gadimai festival.

 

 

 

" The organisers are planning to sacrifice over 500,000 animals this year.

Innocent creatures are killed en masse in an unorganised and unregulated

manner, " said Nikunj Sharma, PETA coordinator.

 

 

 

Sharma said no one can adequately explain why these practices are carried

out except to say they are " traditional " .
