Dashain celebration glorifies the triumph of good over evil, and is ymbolized by Goddess Durga slaying the terrible demon Mahisasur, who had terrorised the earth in the guise of a brutal water buffalo.

Now, many Hindus

celebrate Dashain by

sacrificing innocent animals. According to Hindu religious texts regarding

animal rights, nothing is mentioned of animal sacrifice to appease Gods and Goddesses, who would never approve their own creatures being slaughtered in their name.

Human beings are killing those innocent creatures for their own selfish motive. It is against Hindu religion and way of life, in reality. The respect that must exist for fellow living creatures must be maintained.

Hindu religious books speak of co-existence

with all the other living

creatures for a better

world. So, killing animals

as sacrificial offering

must be stopped. Celebrate Dashain the vegetarian

way. Save animals, save the

eco-system. — animalrightsnepal.com
