Nepal's killing fields: FIVE THOUSAND buffalo lie slaughtered at the beginning of Hindu ceremony which sees up to 300,000 animals killed to bring worshippers good luck.

 
 

 Many people in the West hold the notion that Eastern spirituality,
and even any non-Western sets of belief,
  are better than Western culture. 
Maybe in theory.  Not always in practice. 
Much evil is perpetrated in the name of religion.
But atheistic countries such as China are also unleashing devastation on nature and cruelty against animals. 
The real problem goes beyond cultural differences and religion,
and it lies with human nature itself
Religious or not, humans are a plague on this planet.
As long as the world human population continues to increase out of control,
so do crimes against animals, the environment, and other humans.
And so we'll see more desecration of nature, the murder and torture of trillions of innocent animals, and even the extinction of wonderful creatures such as elephants and tigers.
The worst part is that we're not even ashamed of it, so the victimization of animals is reported only sporadically, while focus on human drama takes priority.
Scientists have come out and said it: 
Human rates of growth and consumption
show all the characteristics of a parasitic outbreak
that is destroying life on Earth

  • The last time the festival was held, in 2009, more than 250,000 animals were killed, according to PETA 
  • Local government representatives say they cannot ban Hindu's form the slaughter during the festival because it would 'hurt their sentiments'
