Animal Sacrifices Begin

Hindus in Nepal start their giant animal sacrifice celebration, killing tens of thousands of oxen, chickens, and other cattle. They use a traditional tool that slowly kills the animal, often cutting off their rear legs to prevent them from escaping. Some of India has outlawed animal sacrifice, but like many of their religious traditions, (including women setting themselves on fire after their husbands die) law enforcement turns a blind eye to it.
