beating & hacking a defenceless animal to death for "peace" and some stupid medieval belief is such a fail of empathy
if their beliefs say to kill anything they should start with themselves and rid the world of such archaic depravity
fuck this being mitigated as tradition or ancient weve evolved and these cnuts are anchors on humanity that need educated

Colonialism. "Depraved natives! So deplorable!"

Drama queen ...

Sacrificial animals have existed since before Abraham. For more familiar religions.

Get over it. Wild animals get torn apart in the wild, alive or dead.

Most "sacrificial" animals today live a better life than wild.

Drop the "holier than thou" attitude, will you?
Melvin Udall: Never, never, interrupt me, okay?

Not if there's a fire, not even if you hear the sound of a thud from my home and one week later there's a smell coming from there that can only be a decaying human body and you have to hold a hanky to your face because the stench is so thick that you think you're going to faint.

Even then, don't come knocking...Not for ANY reason.

Straw man, deflect & apologise for suffering if you get pleasure from it as these sick folk do too

You're just a keyboard warrior that want a flight over basic human decency 24/7

Unlike you I won't blast negative at your karma becuse u disagree or pretend I know shit all about you

It's "no big deal."

Look at Spain? They kill bulls everyday in many towns in their high season.

What's the difference?

Your tinted (maybe tainted) viewpoint. I'm sick of silly Western newbs with NatGeo glasses on.

Honor the high savage, their is a noble beating heart behind the facade of the hunter.

Read Campbell and more on wild hunting groups.

You may have over civilized yourself to extinction if cannot understand a basic hunting rite.

You hate Native Americans, too?

This tradition is only carried out by some remote hill tribes, and is gradually withering out. It isn't practiced anywhere else. I think it's terrible to be so unnecessarily cruel to an animal. It's not something that is done everyday or just for fun though. Many of these indigenous tribal villages do spend an inordinate amount of their wealth on ceremonies. I've seen videos where they were burying a brand new Honda Dream with a recently-deceased chief. They made sure to smash it all to bits before it was buried to deter grave-robbers. These people are often very superstitious and will decide to sacrifice a very expensive water buffalo or other animals to appease some spirits. This often ends up ruining those still living, but as long as the spirits are happy it's all good.
Silence, exile, and cunning.
