There is an entire day during a festival in Nepal that is entirely dedicated to dogs. It’s called the Kukur Tihar or Kukur Puja where Hindu citizens celebrate man’s loyal best friend. On this day, the dogs are spoiled with love and attention to thank them for their loyalty and friendship.
This is the type of festival that people would like go to, can someone please send China the memo?
We also recently reported on a different kind of dog festival in China called Yulin festival, where more than 10,000 dogs are tortured and cooked before being served to festival goers. However, a 65-year-old retired teacher paid more than a $1000 to save 100 dogs that she now house at her animal shelter.
It is called Kukur Tihar or Kukur Puja (worship of the dogs).
People offer garlands, tika, and delicious food to dogs, and acknowledge the cherished relationship between humans and dogs.
The images honoring these animals are truly breathtaking.
With red powder, the dogs are marked on their foreheads as a sign of sacredness.
I love Nature.I love dogs.
Those chinese and south koreans fuckers need to learn from this!. You can eat what you want to eat, but the way those mother fuckers kills dogs and cats for their meat is beyond barbaric, and that is unjustifiable, even for those idiots saying: “we eat chickens and pigs… it’s their culture, we don’t have the right to…” FUCK all of you pussy cowards. Just because we do barbaric things that doesn’t mean we have to accept barbaric acts, we have to change as those fuckers have to change!.
I got so upset from this. I need to go and get a DOGsicle
I hate China now. They are disgusting. Stop torturing and eating animals!!!
I leave this here…

1. Gadhimai temple is near the Nepal-India border.
2. The temple was built by Biharian Indians in Nepal as the border is open.
3. The goddess gadhimai doesn’t exist in the holy books of Hinduism.
4. Hinduism FORBIDS slaughtering of animals as sacrifices.
5. 85% of the participants of the festival are Indians and the rest are from the border regions of Nepal.
SO SHUT THE FUCK YOU, INSOLENT IGNORANT RETARD FUCK. WHAT YOURE SAYING IS HIGHLY OFFENSIVE. FUCK FUCK FUCK YOU.
I am a nepalese guy. we love dogs as our loyal friends.we love them but not eat.
how about all the other animals brothers and sises that are being slaughtered by humanity every second you breathe, eat or enjoy a good time with your loved one… how about their rights? can you forget about them?
“Earthlings” – as a human being I think you are responsible to at least watch it.
The description of this event is almost the exact opposite of its actual meaning. Here dogs are not man’s best friend, but thought of as among the lowest animals, filthy, often diseased, and a nuisance and frequently dangerous. In Nepal all things are sacred. Trees, rivers, doing business. Another day in tihar offerings are made to machines—or rather the sacredness in them. Dog tihar is about acknowledging the god even in the lowest, not at all because dogs are loved or man’s best friend
