Why Hinduism (Gadhimai Hindu Festival) encourages the brutal killing of animals?

Why Hinduism (Gadhimai Hindu Festival) encourages the brutal killing of animals?

I thought Hinduism encourages non-killing and vegetarianism, but I was wrong when I saw gruesome images of the largest animal sacrifice. It has been underway in Nepal, which is the only Hindu kingdom on earth.

The way they were brutally cut animals into pieces is inhuman and highly appalling. It must be stopped.

      The Gadhimai festival started today with the inauguration of a priest killed a goat, rat, chicken, pig and pigeon. He then offered just blood from his own body but did not kill himself.

      I think this year a few thousand animals would be killed quite less. Back in 2009, around half a million buffaloes, goats, pigeons and other animals were sacrificed.

      Due to the ban and protest sacrifice rates are coming down.

      I do not think we should generalise that all Hindus are in its favour.

      More to do with superstitions as well as the absence of real faith.

      I would not oppose slaughtering animals. Because God created them for us to eat.

      However, I am strongly against the way they are being butchered at the Gadhimai festival.  There could be some respects for dying animals.

      Animals should not see each other during slaughter and should be well treated at all times.
