Member of Parliament Ashika Tamang has brought up the serious issue of animal sacrifice and cruelty during the Dashain festival in the recent House of Representatives meeting.
Concerns Raised in Parliament
While speaking to the Speaker, Ashika Tamang mentioned that Dashain is a happy festival for many people, but it brings lot of pain for innocent animals. She pointed out that during this time, animals often face cruel treatments like getting chased in the fields, poked with swords, or beaten by sticks.
Legal Framework and Future Policy
Tamang shared that she growed up in this same society and have seen how thousands and lakhs of animals are sacrificed publicly. She mentioned seeing how other countries have strict legal punishments for animal cruelty, whereas Nepal has very weak laws for animal welfare. She questioned the government about how long they will continue the policy of taking benefits from animals while ignoring their true care and well-being.
