A staggering 500,000 animals are expected to be slaughtered this coming November at the Gadhimai Festival.
Every five years, Hindus celebrate the Gadhimai Festival at a temple in southern Nepal. There, over a two-day period, the world’s largest sacrifice of animals takes place. Hundreds of thousands of animals including water buffalo, pigs, goats, chickens, pigeons and even mice, with the goal of pleasing Gadhimai, the goddess of power.

Often given no access to food, water or shelter for days prior to being killed, many die before the main event even begins.The survivors are beheaded or have their throats cut with all manner of weapons by people with no training in humane slaughter, resulting in a slow, painful death.
