WE NEED TO STOP THIS MADNESS!!!! Sacrificed buffalos lie on the ground of an enclosed compound during the sacrificial ceremony of the Gadhimai Mela festival held in Bariyapur November 28, 2014. Sword-wielding Hindu devotees in Nepal began slaughtering thousands of animals and birds in a ritual sacrifice on Friday, ignoring calls by animal rights activists to halt what they described as the worlds largest such exercise. NEVER AGAIN. URGENT NEW ACTION: Email the Nepalese Government and demand that the terrible Gadhimai slaughter festival must never happen again. For months Compassion campaigners have been working tirelessly to stop the inhumane slaughter at this festival. Together with like-minded organisations and individuals around the world, we’ve turned what was a local issue into a global issue. The Indian Government has committed to stop animals crossing the border into Nepal and we have pushed hard for enforcement of relevant legislation designed to protect animals and people within Nepal. As a result, we are hopeful that fewer animals will be involved in the festival this time around, but it is still taking place. The world is watching as the Nepalese Government stands by and allows many thousands of animals to be brutally slaughtered. The Nepalese Government has not stopped this year’s festival. But please, call on them to ensure this is the last time it ever happens.
