"Kathmandu, Nepal (CNN) -- Motilal Kushwaha had promised the Hindu goddess Gadhimai that he would offer her a male goat if one of his children found a job.
Last year his son was successful -- and on Saturday he was one of tens of thousands of people killing the animals at the temple of Gadhimai in southern Nepal as part of the biggest religious mass slaughter in the world.
Officials estimate that up to 10,000 buffalo calves and 150,000 goats will be offered to Gadhimai -- the goddess of power -- during the ritual."

And to think there is a segment of society that thinks I am a right wing religious nut. While it may be true I don't hold a candle to Nepal.
PETA must be changing their shorts about now. They would probably protest in front of the house if they knew at one time I had water buffalo cowboy boots, and a beautiful pair of elephant, tanned butterscotch color. One of these days I will post a funny story about my dealings with PETA while running a horse rescue.
