(Lanka-e-News -01.June.2016, 11.30PM) A Cabinet paper is to be tabled next week aimed at banning all animal sacrifices absolutely in all Hindu Temples, Kovils and other Hindu religious places in Sri Lanka , based on reports.
What is astonishing about this cabinet paper is , this is being tabled by Swaminathan , the minister In charge of Hindu affairs. The Hindu religious and Cultural affairs department has already forwarded the draft to the legal draftsman’s department to take necessary action.
In the past a group of Buddhists staged protests against animal sacrifices being performed in the Hindu Temples and Devales
.
In Nepal where the largest Gardhimai animal sacrifice ritual in the world is performed , the administrative council itself halted these sacrifices last year. This animal sacrifice festival has a history dating as far back as over a century , and about 500,000 cattle are sacrificed each time.
In Sri Lanka , the animal sacrifice ritual was performed publicly in the Chilaw Munneswaram Kovil.
Though prohibition of animal sacrifice in a country is an index that the country is heading towards civilized conduct , a most a different most atrocious trend was noticed at Polonnaruwa yesterday. When an Elephant was knocked down by a train at Polonnaruwa , and was breathing its last , its ear lobe and tail had been severed and taken away by a group. This is a group entertaining wrong conceptions that had brutally cut off the ears and tail while the pachyderm was still alive.
The police are conducting a search to arrest these inhuman culprits.
