Humane Society International/ India takes street theatre players to local communities in India to make citizens aware that the Temple authorities at the upcoming Gadhimai festival in Nepal have ended animal sacrifice. Gadhimai is the largest ritual animal sacrifice festival in the world where tens of thousands of buffalo, goats, birds and other animals are beheaded to appease the goddess Gadhimai. Millions of devotees are expected to attend the festival in November 2019, so HSI India is raising awareness of the ban through street theatre, leafleting, radio advertisements, billboards, and school visits.

Every five years, the world’s largest animal sacrifice takes place at the Gadhimai Temple in Nepal. The month-long festival has raised controversy due to the large number of animals killed – up to 500,000 over two days. This year, Humane Society International (HSI) successfully petitioned India’s Supreme Court to stop animals at the border. In coordination with Animal Welfare Network Nepal, HSI sent a delegation to patrol the site and confiscate any animals brought in illegally. The team also met with Nepal’s president and prime minister to discuss the situation. To date, more than 2,500 animals have been saved. In this photo, butchers conduct the mass sacrifice killing of buffalos during the Gadhimai Festival in Bara, Nepal on Friday, November 28, 2014.
